Styx & Kevin Cronin: The Brotherhood of Rock Tour at Toyota Pavilion at Concord

Let’s talk about the facts.

Melodic hard rockers Styx and Kevin Cronin are popping the corks in celebration of their 25-year musical friendship, each with a catalogue bursting at the seams with top-notch, iconic rock songs.

Since powerhouse band Styx broke into the industry with their progressive album, ‘Styx’, in 1972, they frequented the top section of the charts year after year, with every banger you can think of – from ‘Lady’, ‘Lorelei’, and ‘Come Sail Away’ to ‘Renegade’ and ‘The Best of Times’; from ‘Too Much Time On My Hands’ and ‘Show Me The Way’ to ‘Mr. Roboto’ and ‘Babe’. Overall, Styx went multi-platinum four consecutive times.

And if you think they’re too old – think again, because the most important fact is that Styx is on fire! Not only are they wielding the most exciting catalogue, but they showcase explosive talent, skill, and enthusiasm – from the many cool synthesizer sounds and strong and sweet vocals to dexterity and speed on drums, impressive guitar work, and tight vocal harmonies.

Another key fact: Kevin Cronin delivers a punch.

As the voice and songwriter behind nearly every REO Speedwagon hit - from ‘Keep On Lovin’ You’, ‘Can’t Fight This Feeling’, and ‘Keep The Fire Burnin’ to ‘I Do Wanna Know’, ‘Don’t Let Him Go’, and ‘Here with Me’ – he can easily put countless younger singers to absolute shame. His stunning tenor voice hasn’t aged a single day since he recorded 1972’s album, ‘R.E.O./T.W.O.’ with REO Speedwagon.
Overall, the group, with Kevin Cronin at the lead, sold over 40 million records and reached the top of the charts 13 times.

Another fact: Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum inductee Don Felder, formerly of The Eagles, can easily be rated as one of the best guitarists of his era. He is also known as the co-writer behind some of the most epic rock anthems, such as ‘Visions’, ‘Victim of Love’, and ‘Hotel California’.

The Toyota Pavilion at Concord is ready for a summer sizzling with the sounds of some epic rock and roll! The 12,500-capacity venue sports breathtaking views and acoustics, as well as state-of-the-art amenities. Seating is spread across reserved seating underneath a canopy, lawn seating, and box seats.

And the facts conclude: if you haven’t seen Styx, Kevin Cronin, and Don Felder live in action before, you better fix it right now – you won’t be sorry!
