Foreigner

Founded and led by British musician Mick Jones, Foreigner is a British-American rock band formed in 1976 in NYC, U.S. They have collectively sold over a stunning 80 million records worldwide. Propelled by the success of their first album, Foreigner’s sophomore album “Double Vision” followed in 1978 to rave reviews. Singles like “Waiting For a Girl Like You,” “Hot Blooded,” and “Juke Box Hero” received significant airplay. Foreigner’s timeless hits are the perfect additions to soundtracks in the film industry, featured in Hollywood box office hits like “Anchorman 2,” “Magic Mike,” and “Pitch Perfect.” In 2013 Mick Jones and Lou Gramm were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Jones admits his vision for the band was to combine Blues and R&B and make it sound soulful and authentic, citing influences from English music as well as American country music as inspiration for Foreigner’s unique sound.
