The six men comprising Styx have committed to “Rockin’ the Paradise” together with audiences far and wide by entering their second decade of averaging over 100 shows a year, with each member dedicated to making the next show better than the last. The band draws from over four decades of barn burning chart hits, joyous sing-alongs and hard-driving deep cuts to do so. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo, a Styx set covers a wide range of stylistic cornerstones. From the progressively sweeping splendor that is “The Grand Illusion” to the hunker-down fortitude of all that is the “Blue Collar Man”, from the majestic spiritual love for a special “Lady” to the poignant rumination on the fleeting nature of fame in “Miss America”, from an individual yearning for true connection as a “Man in the Wilderness” to a soul-deep quest to achieve what’s at the heart of one’s personal vision in “Crystal Ball”, from the regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of “Come Sail Away” to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged “Renegade” who had it made. Styx have an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signature sound and their live prowess comes through commitment, preparation and an unbending devotion to artistry.
