About REO Speedwagon
Formed in 1967 and officially signed in 1971, REO Speedwagon has been a driving force in the rock scene for decades. Led by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, the band’s relentless passion for music, coupled with their non-stop touring and recording, kickstarted the rock movement in the Midwest.
Their explosive album, Hi Infidelity, released in 1980, became a sensation. Featuring chart-topping hits like “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run,” the album dominated the No. 1 spot for 15 weeks. It’s no wonder that it has earned the prestigious 10X Diamond Award from the RIAA for selling over 10 million units in the United States.
From 1977 to 1989, REO Speedwagon consistently delivered, releasing nine consecutive Platinum or higher-certified albums. Their music has resonated with fans worldwide, selling over 40 million albums across the globe.
Join Kevin Cronin and his talented bandmates—Bruce Hall (bass), Dave Amato (guitar), Bryan Hitt (drums), and Derek Hilland (touring keyboardist)—as they electrify audiences with timeless hits like “Ridin’ The Storm Out,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Time For Me To Fly,” and “Roll With The Changes.” And of course, don’t miss the iconic tunes that started it all: “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run.”
