On January 23, Styx and their front-man, Tommy Shaw, along with James “JY” Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman and Ricky Phillips (along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo) will be making a stop on their current concert tour at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.
Styx has performed more live shows since ’99 than all of the previous years of its career combined.
Two Super Bowl appearances, Pollstar Box Office chart-topping tours with Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Bad Company (to name only a few), two more studio albums and no end in sight, Styx continues to conquer the planet, one venue at a time.
Spawned from a suburban Chicago basement in the early ‘70’s, Styx would eventually transform into the virtual arena rock prototype by the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s due to a fondness for big rockers and soaring power ballads.
Mega-hits include: “Fooling Yourself,” “Come Sail Away,” “Blue Collar Man,” “Too Much Time On My Hands,” “Crystal Ball,” “Grand Illusion,” “Lady,” and “Renegade,” among many others.
The concert starts at 9 p.m.
