Legendary and multi-Platinum rockers STYX–Tommy Shaw (vocals, guitars), James \u201cJY\u201d Young (vocals, guitars), Lawrence Gowan (vocals, keyboards), Todd Sucherman (drums) and Ricky Phillips (bass), along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo–are rested, healthy, and ready to hit the road again, but they\u2019ve finally got a new album to promote along the way. Their highly anticipated 17th “masterpiece” new album, CRASH OF THE CROWN, was released June 18, 2021 on the band\u2019s label, Alpha Dog 2T\/UMe and will no doubt be featured along with many other STYX classics.<\/p>\n

Styx\u2019s Tommy Shaw said, \u201cI can\u2019t think of a better way of touring the USA next year than with good friends we\u2019ve known for years and performed with on many a stage. What a great night of music this will be!\u201d<\/p>\n

REO Speedwagon\u2019s Kevin Cronin agrees, \u201cTommy (Shaw) and I have done a number of Zoom performances together during the pandemic, and REO and Styx are ready to go get UnZoomed, and out on the road for our fifth U.S. tour together. Add our great friends Mike Reno and the Loverboy guys, and I am totally psyched. If I wasn\u2019t performing in it, I would totally come out to see this show. See you all, LIVE and UNZOOMED!\u201d<\/p>\n

Loverboy\u2019s Mike Reno proclaimed, \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to take the stage and rock this summer, it\u2019s gonna be awesome. These are all the groups I grew up with, and I\u2019m there too. Best tour of the summer\u2026guaranteed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their “Live & UnZoomed Tour” co-headlining summer trek with REO Speedwagon and special guest Loverboy lands in The Woodlands, TX on Sunday, July 24 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. Houston Music Review will be there…so should you!<\/p>\n
