Biography
Biography Timeline
While still in school in the early 1970s, Reno joined a cover band called Morning Glory, in which he played the drums and eventually found his way to the cover band Synergy. Later, Reno moved on to a band called Spunk with guitarist Jack Stoltz. After graduating from Penticton Secondary School, Reno moved to Calgary, Alberta, after which he briefly joined the band Moxy for a single album, Under the Lights, released in 1978. It was something of a departure from the previous Moxy albums, partially because of changes in band members as well as Reno’s different singing style, and did not sell as well as the band’s earlier releases. Eventually, Reno was introduced to Paul Dean in 1979 at a nightclub called The Refinery and they immediately got together for a jam session, which led to the formation of Loverboy shortly thereafter. Loverboy released its first album in 1980 and the band went on to tour extensively as well as release three more multi-platinum albums between 1981 and 1985. Loverboy’s last full album of original material in the 1980s was Wildside (1987), though they included three new original songs on the compilation album Big Ones (1989).
Reno has also contributed to various film soundtracks. In 1984, he performed a duet with Ann Wilson of Heart, “Almost Paradise”, for the movie Footloose. With Loverboy, the band contributed “Heaven in Your Eyes” for the movie Top Gun (1986). Reno contributed the song “Chasing the Angels” for the soundtrack to Iron Eagle II (1988) along with the song “Whenever There’s a Night” for the movie Dream a Little Dream (1989). Reno also reportedly recorded a cover of “Never Been to Spain”, a song that was originally written by Hoyt Axton and previously recorded by the band Three Dog Night for their album Harmony (1971). The Three Dog Night version went to #1 on the charts. In 1990 Reno co-wrote and performed the song ‘All I Ever Needed’ From David Foster Album River of Love. In a 2003 release, artist Tim Feehan released a solo album Tracks I Forgot About containing a song that features Reno on vocals, “Call of the Wild”.
In 2002, Reno released his first solo album titled Renovation. The album is composed of ten tracks closely resembling the sound of his work with Loverboy though some discs contain a bonus track titled “Guilty as Charged.” The album was reportedly recorded 1992 and was supposed to be released by Sony but they chose instead to indefinitely shelve the project due to changes in the music industry… the changes touched on by Reno in his previously mentioned VH1 interview. Reno eventually proceeded to release the un-mastered recordings from his own archival tapes on his now defunct website but went on to release the album widely on a variety of sources. The main complaint amongst critics and fans is a lack of mastering, overall production and polishing commonly found on finished albums… but hard core fans and critics seem to feel the album is more than worthy of attention in spite of this.
The band’s latest full album of all-new material is Unfinished Business, released on July 15, 2014, through Loverboy Music. As of 2015, Reno continues to tour and play live shows with Loverboy.
