Grammy Award-winning songman Steve Tyrell, who moved back to hometown Houston last year from his long-time perch in Los Angeles, is slowing his concert schedule for two weeks during which he'll do three cabaret shows in Texas.
Fans are already securing seats and reserving limos from Houston for the May 6 and May 7 concerts at The Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston where his team will be filming and recording for his upcoming DVD and live album release. Appropriately enough, the DVD and album will be titled "Home Again . . . Live at The Grand Opera House."
These are Tyrell's first Lone Star state concerts since his marriage on Christmas to Houston-based interior designer Karen Pulaski. In recent weeks, he has been performing his cabaret concerts in New York, Maine and Arizona.
When not on the road, Tyrell is making the social rounds in Houston. You might recall the he was the high bidder on the Dallas Cowboys football autographed by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones at a recent Houston charity event. That bid earned $220,000 for ESCAPE Family Resources Center.
Legendary rockers Styx and Kevin Cronin, lead singer of REO Speedwagon, will team up to co-headline the “Brotherhood of Rock” tour in 2025, which will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, June 6.
The large, 40-city tour will take place over three months, starting in Greenville, South Carolina on May 28, and wrapping up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 24.
In addition to Houston, the tour will go to Austin on June 4 and Dallas on August 1. It will include special guest Don Felder, former lead guitarist for the Eagles, at all dates.
Fans can expect some of the greatest rock anthems of all time, including “Renegade,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Come Sail Away,” “Can't Fight This Feeling,” and “Hotel California.”
Styx and Cronin (as part of REO Speedwagon) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, coming together to form the Rock to the Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This will mark their sixth time joining forces on the road.
2022 was the 50th anniversary of Styx's self-titled debut album, but they have yet to slow down. The band released their 17th album, Crash of the Crown, in 2021. Of course, not everyone is a fan, as this classic clip from The Simpsons illustrates.
REO Speedwagon's recording days appear to be done, with their last album coming out in 2009, but the main group of five has been together since 1989. On this tour, Cronin will be joined by REO's lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt.
General tickets for the tour will go on sale starting on Friday, December 13 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning on December 9 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program.
Styx and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning on Tuesday, December 10 at 10 am, as well as at LiveNation.com.
