THE B-LISTERS are Chris Marion (Little River Band) and Stephanie Calvert (formerly of Starship). Having met and become friends on a Moody Blues Rock Cruise, their friendship blossomed into the ultimate duo as they married in January 2020. When the Coronavirus shut down their respective bands within weeks of their marriage, their musical collaboration began as a means of maintaining sanity and their connection to fans. Making fun of their affiliations with iconic bands, they named their duo – The B-Listers.
Chris Marion is a Nashville musician best known for being the keyboardist and a lead vocalist for the famed classic rock act Little River Band since 2004. Prior to LRB’s tenure, Chris toured with various country and gospel artists, including being a founding member of the country band Western Flyer, garnering several Billboard top 40 hits along with much critical praise. He and Stephanie have now relocated to Las Vegas and have rapidly integrated into the local music scene in town when not touring.
She might top out at 5’2”, but Stephanie Calvert, former female lead singer for the epic band Starship for 15 years, stands 10 feet tall in rock and roll credits. She literally cut her teeth on classic rock icons like Slick, Joplin, and Heart in her entertainment hometown of Las Vegas. Now, she is blazing a new trail with her own project, Stephanie Calvert and the All-Stars – a truly all-star cast counting members from Boston, Eddie Money, Toto, Michael Jackson, Kenny Loggins, Survivor, and Family Stone. When not touring with her own band, she’s in demand as a guest singer on numerous projects including Vegas’s own Raiding the Rock Vault, LA’s Rocker’s Collective and she even spent the summer touring with The Righteous Brothers.
Although Marion and Calvert have shared the stage as peers with dozens of artists through their decades of combined musical careers, they now take the stage together whenever they can as the duo – The B-Listers. Their repertoire reflects their diverse musical experience ranging from yacht rock to country to contemporary pop. They might take their hard-earned rock creds with tongue in cheek, but Chris and Stephanie as The B-Listers bring to the stage a superlative soundtrack for your entertainment.
