REO Speedwagon man Kevin Cronin admits it's harder to sell tickets under his own name

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Kevin Cronin, who announced last year that he'd no longer be touring under the REO Speedwagon banner due to "irreconcilable differences" with longtime bassist Bruce Hall, has admitted that going out under his own name has not been as successful as he'd hoped. Cronin now leads the Kevin Cronin Band, who include two longtime members of REO Speedwagon in guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt. They're currently playing with Styx and Don Felder on the Brotherhood of Rock tour, but the change of name has apparently made fans cautious. "This tour has been a delight, but not without its challenges," Cronin tells Ultimate Classic Rock. "It's not easy going out as the Kevin Cronin Band, I will tell you. You can't overestimate the power of the name REO Speedwagon and that ubiquitous, winged logo. They mean a lot to people. "I can sit here and say that the Kevin Cronin band is doing the same thing until I'm blue in the face, but when people see the Kevin Cronin Band, there's a question – 'I wonder what this is gonna be?' – whereas if you see REO Speedwagon and the winged logo on the bill, it's 'I know what that is.'" As a result, the Kevin Cronin Band will no longer be set up as a touring concern, and the band's crew will be available for other projects once their current commitments have been fulfilled. Cronin has cancelled two September shows in Evans, GA and Mobile, AL, as well as a date with Styx in Sparks, NV, next April. He will, however, honour his booking aboard the next sailing of the Rock Legends Cruise, which departs from Fort Lauderdale, FL, in February 2026. "My plan was always to keep the organisation together, " he continues. "But there are challenges around that are just overwhelming and I couldn't promise the crew that I could afford to keep them. Again, as REO Speedwagon, no problem. "For REO Speedwagon to book dates this coming autumn or winter would be no problem, but that's just not available to me (as the Kevin Cronin Band). Believe me, we tried, and it's way more challenging than I was hoping it would be." This might sound like Cronin is hoping to steer a path back towards REO Speedwagon, but he'll have to convince Bruce Hall, who was replaced on REO Speedwagon's final tour by session man Matt Bissonette after reportedly failing to recover fully from back surgery. "Neal and I never voted to 'bring the curtain down," Hall tells UCR, referring to keyboardist Neal Doughty, who retired from live work at the end of the tour. "We voted for REO to continue with the 2023 lineup that included me. Kevin is who didn't agree and withdrew from REO Speedwagon, choosing to go solo under his own name." The next date on the Brotherhood Of Rock tour is this evening at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, ON. Remaining dates below. Brotherhood Of Rock tour Aug 13: Toronto Budweiser Stage, ONAug 15: Noblesville Ruoff Music Center, INAug 16: Clarkston Pine Knob Music Theatre, MIAug 19: Cincinnati Riverbend Music Center, OHAug 20: Cuyahoga Falls Blossom Music Center, OHAug 22: Maryland Heights Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, MOAug 23: Tinley Park Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, ILAug 24: Milwaukee American Family Insurance Amphitheater, WI Tickets are on sale now.

‘70s rock star selling his tropical hideaway in South Florida. Take a look

A spiritual retreat with rock star vibes in South Florida can be yours if you've got $1.75M lying around. Styx co-founder and bassist Charles 'Chuck' Panozzo is selling his home in the artsy, hipster hamlet of Wilton Manors, near Fort Lauderdale. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom, approximately 1,600-square-foot home was built in 1952 and looks more like a plush pad you'd find in Bali, not Broward. Most of the unique amenities at this Zen tropical oasis aka 'La Serenidad,' are outside — think a lushly landscaped garden, multiple fountains, two koi ponds, and several gazebos, ideal for hot yoga, meditation or detoxing from your smartphone. 'A beautiful place where you can live the best of both worlds,' says the Zillow description. 'Every corner of the outdoor space is thoughtfully designed to unwind.' It's unclear why the 76-year-old musician would ever want to leave this stunning sanctuary which he scooped up in 2007 for $305,000, but he doesn't appear to be retiring. The band the Chicago native cofounded, known for such hits as 'Come Sail Away,' 'Babe' and 'Mr Roboto,' is currently on tour, hitting Destin, Fla., on Oct. 9-11. Panozzo, who came out in 2001 and is HIV positive, still plays with Styx when he is physically able. Juan Zapata and Susan Rindley of One Sotheby's International Realty have the listing.

Beyoncé Thanked Her ‘Cowboy Carter' Dancers With Louis Vuitton Gifts

Source: Parkwood Entertainment / Live Nation After months of intense rehearsals and electrifying performances, Beyoncé has found a chic (and expensive) way to thank her dedicated 'Cowboy Carter' dancers. Following the completion of her recent tour, the superstar surprised her dance crew by gifting them exquisite Louis Vuitton items, recognizing their hard work and commitment throughout the journey. The 'Cowboy Carter' dancers, known for their precision, energy, and charismatic stage presence, played a vital role in bringing Queen Bey's vision to life night after night. Whether they were backing the Houston native up with unique choreography or adding magic to the show with their impromptu moves, those dancers brought the heat and deserve luxurious gifts for the iconic moments they created. The designer gift came enclosed in a huge box and the usual Louis Vuitton dust bag. It included a handwritten, heartfelt message that expressed deep gratitude for the dancers' dedication during the demanding months on the road. 'Congratulations on the completion of the Cowboy Carter Tour,' it read. 'Thank you for all the hard work and dedication the last couple of months. We hope you enjoy your gift and know that we appreciate all your contributions to this tour and its success.' The luxury gifts, reflecting Beyoncé's signature blend of opulent fashion and heartfelt generosity, symbolize not just the end of a successful tour but the strength of the bond between the singer and her creative collaborators. Fans have praised the mogul for her kindness and for recognizing the often-unsung heroes behind her spectacular performances, and this benevolent act proves that she deserves those accolades. The 'Cowboy Carter' tour concluded on July 26 in Paradise, Nevada, after a 32-show run. It was the shortest tour in history to gross over $400 million. As Beyoncé continues to set new standards in music and performance, moments like these highlight her commitment to uplifting those who contribute to her artistry, making the journey as rewarding as the destination. Now if only we can find out what was in those boxes…. SEE ALSO Beyoncé Thanked Her 'Cowboy Carter' Dancers With Louis Vuitton Gifts was originally published on
