REO Speedwagon

The train just keeps a ‘rollin on ‘The Midwest Rock ‘N Roll Express’ tour, featuring the triple bill of Styx, REO Speedwagon and Ted Nugent. The classic rock collective that earned a prominent spot on our ‘Must-See Rock Concerts of 2013’ list recently made a pit stop in Springfield, Mass. on April 23. Check out our photos from the show below.

Classic rockers Styx and REO Speedwagon -- along with tour mate Ted Nugent -- have come to the rescue once again. The heartland rockers will donate a portion of the proceeds from their current Midwest Rock 'N' Roll Express tour to victims of the recent Boston Marathon bombings.

A successful two-month run in 2012 has lead to more shows together for REO Speedwagon, Styx and Ted Nugent in 2013. The Midwest Rock 'n Roll Express tour will begin again in April, with 20 dates announced through May 19.

When Styx, Reo Speedwagon, and Ted Nugent announced that they were teaming up this summer for the ‘Midwest Rock ‘N Roll Express’ tour, the classic rock gods had to have smiled down from above knowing they had crafted the perfect trifecta.

I have a good feeling about this summer's concert season. There have already been some great shows announced!

As the spring and summer concert season starts to come together, two great shows go on sale this weekend.

If REO Speedwagon lead singer Kevin Cronin gets his way, he'll have a hit country record to his credit.

REO Speedwagon released their double live album 'You Get What You Play For' in 1977, shortly before they got really really big.  I think it was their first serious step toward the superstar period they finally achieved in the early 80's...

Before the "pop" in their "rock" made them superstars in the early 1980's, REO Speedwagon was a full blown hard rock act that got attention as far back as 1972, when their 2nd album, 'T.W.O.', introduced the world to 'Golden Country', which is today's vault track...

REO Speedwagon fans will be tickled to know that the 'Hi-Infidelity' album finally got the remaster job it deserved, and is out this very day at your favorite music outlet.  Mine is simply Amazon.com since there are no record stores anymore...
