Over the past four decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. He created some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s and is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 US top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.”
He is an accomplished actor who starred opposite Meryl Streep in Ricki and the Flash, gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Irving Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama True Detective, earned great reviews for his portrayal of Lucifer on the CW hit Supernatural, and played the insane Pastor Charles on FX’s worldwide hit series American Horror Story. In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Springfield’s SiriusXM radio show “Working Class DJ” is a huge hit and airs weekly on 80s on 8.
His new album Automatic—his first album of all-new original material in five years—is out now.
