Iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin has been the voice of REO Speedwagon since the ‘70s. He initially joined the band recording the R.E.O./T.W.O. album in 1972, but after a brief period away, returned in 1976 and remained their frontman until their final tour in 2024.
With Cronin at the mic, the band's relentless drive, continuous touring, and prolific recording helped ignite the burgeoning rock movement in the Midwest. This era yielded platinum albums and FM radio staples like “Ridin’ The Storm Out,” paving the way for the platinum-plus You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can’t Tuna Fish, and the band’s landmark release, Hi Infidelity (1980). This Grammy-nominated album, now RIAA Diamond Award-certified for 10 million units sold in the U.S., which spent 15 weeks at No. 1 and produced massive hit singles such as “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run,” remains a pinnacle achievement.
Over his career with REO Speedwagon, Cronin has contributed to the band’s remarkable success, selling 22 million albums in the U.S. and 40 million worldwide, including a string of nine consecutive platinum-plus albums and numerous international hit singles. He has personally written many of their most beloved songs, including the No. 1 hits "Keep on Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling," plus "Roll With the Changes," "Time for Me to Fly," "Don't Let Him Go," “In My Dreams,” and many more.
Fans can now experience Cronin’s next chapter as "The Kevin Cronin Band" takes the stage, delivering his legendary hits coast-to-coast, with tours planned for 2025 and beyond.
ABOUT THE KEVIN CRONIN BAND
The Kevin Cronin Band features the same talented lineup that has been thrilling audiences throughout the 2024 tour as REO Speedwagon. Cronin, the legendary voice and writer behind REO's chart-topping hits like "Keep On Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling," continues to be joined onstage by lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt, who played in REO Speedwagon since 1989. Additionally, Derek Hilland, who previously toured with Foreigner, Rick Springfield, Whitesnake, and more, was REO's touring keyboard player since January 2023. The band is rounded out by Matt Bissonette, who brought his extensive experience touring with Elton John from 2012 through 2023, and who has been the bassist in this touring lineup since November 2023.
From the earliest rehearsals in late 2023, this group of guys began forming an organic musical and personal chemistry. Within ten days, they were ready for the first of three residencies at the Venetian Theater in Las Vegas, featuring “An Evening of Hi Infidelity … and More.” From there, they toured extensively through 2024, including a summer tour of Live Nation amphitheaters with Train, and a winter run of arenas with Loverboy.
Kevin Cronin Band is looking forward to the 2025 “Brotherhood of Rock” trek with long-time REO tour mates, Styx. KCB will be performing the entire Hi Infidelity album in sequence, plus other REO hits such as “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Roll with the Changes,” “Time for me to Fly,” “Keep Pushin’,” and many more, which Cronin wrote, co-produced, and sang on the original recordings. The Kevin Cronin Band is ready and raring to get out on the road and let their music do the talking.
