Styx + Kevin Cronin aka REO Speedwagon +Don Felder @ Jiffy Lube Live

$20 Lawn Groupon

Another $20 Groupon for us to see three classic rock acts, on a Thursday night Jiffy Lube Live. The bands are Styx, Kevin Cronin (lead singer of REO Speedwagon) and Don Felder (of the Eagles). STYX is the lineup we have been seeing for the past couple of years that includes original member Tommy Shaw and JY Young. Cronin of REO has lost the ability to use the REO name because is long time band mates (Neal Doughty and Bruce Hall) have decided to call it quits. Cronin has the rest of the touring band from last year with him. First up will be Don Felder know more for being the other guitarist in the Eagles (that is guitar player on Hotel California that is not Joe Walsh). Felder's second most famous claim to fame might be writing the theme song for the 1981 animated classic movie Heavy Metal. Here is a link for Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride), which has his Eagles bandmates backing him on vocals. Lets plan on a warm summer night on the lawn at JLL.

For his first solo summer outing, iconic vocalist and hit songwriter Kevin Cronin’s band features the same multi-talented lineup that toured America in 2024 as REO Speedwagon. Cronin continues to be joined onstage by lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt, who has played in REO Speedwagon since 1989. Additionally, Derek Hilland, who previously toured with Rick Springfield and Whitesnake, has been REO’s keyboard player since January 2023. Matt Bissonette, who spent 12 years with Elton John through 2023, signed on as REO Speedwagon’s touring bassist in November of that year.
No matter how you look at it, 2025 may be another the Year of the Fingers — Don “Fingers” Felder, that is. Felder, a true American rock and roll guitar hero, is very much looking forward to building upon his rich legacy as one of the most innovative riff-generating songwriters of the modern rock era while continuing his growth as a featured touring and recording solo artist.
