CC interviews: Hirsh Gardner "New England"

CC Carole interviews Hirsh Gardner of the band New England. Bob Boyd Directed. New England set the music world on fire with their AOR anthem Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya in 1979. John Fannon (guitar & vocals), Hirsh Gardner (drums and vocals), Jimmy Waldo (keyboards and vocals) and Gary Shea (bass) broke out of the local Boston scene with the release of their self-titled album on Infinity / MCA in 1979. The album was produced by Mike Stone and Paul Stanley of Kiss, whom New England toured with for much of 1979 and 1980. For their sophomore effort, entitled Explorer Suite, the foursome once again called upon veteran knob-twirler Mike Stone. Highlights from this album are the orchestral title track, It's Never Too Late, and Conversation, which features New England's trademark lush background vocals. The touring never let up for the boys from Boston as they split their time on the Explorer Suite tour between headlining large clubs and sharing arena billing with Journey, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, and Kiss among others.
