Fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, members of REO Speedwagon began by riding in station wagons, going from tiny gigs to even tinier gigs, just to get their name out. Later, they rode the top of the charts with 22 million albums sold in the U.S. and 40 million around the globe, with a string of gold and platinum records and international hit singles.
REO Speedwagon has that Midwest work ethic. The band has gone onstage and in the studio and done the work -- dozens of albums, hundreds of concerts and infinite radio spins. Not a year has gone by where REO Speedwagon didn’t perform live, thrilling fans with hits like “Keep On Loving You” and “Can’t Fight This Feeling.”
