Shannon and Jamie are crisscrossing the country once again on their mission of MAXIMUM JOY — and this time they're bringing the 80s with them!
When their 2023 album "Good to Me" started gaining traction internationally, synthpop spouses Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill were faced with an unexpected question: how to extend their typical one-year album cycle while not stopping making recordings together?
Their answer was to start working their way down a list that they'd been keeping since they met in the early 2000s — of songs from their 1980s childhoods that they thought it might be fun to someday record their own versions of.
But where most artists attempt to put their own spin on cover songs, Curtis and Hill took an intentionally different approach: they attempted to recreate as closely as possible the feeling in the original recordings.
The one twist: Curtis would be lending her soaring alto to a collection of songs sung originally by men.
The result is an album of reverent renditions of all-time classic 80s songs, in which all the recordings are faithful to the original versions — but which also somehow manage to add up to what sounds for all the world like a thrilling and cohesive debut album by an emerging artist.
The "80s kids" live show that Curtis and Hill are bringing across the country in 2025 is a killer, high-energy synthpop concert — featuring some of the biggest and most iconic hits of the 80s. Think John Hughes movie soundtracks and you're on the right track.
You'll hear the music of a-ha, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, and OMD — as well as chart-toppers by Depeche Mode, New Order, Alphaville, The Human League, and many more iconic 80s favorites.
It's hit after massive 80s hit for the entire show, delivered by Curtis and Hill with infectious energy — in a highly authentic 80s synthpop performance style that feels like hearing these songs live for the first time.
80s kids is a nostalgic and joyous singalong show that's kid-tested and parent-approved!
