Popular pop-rock band REO Speedwagon is set to perform at the Grand Events Center inside the Golden Nugget in nearby Lake Charles, Louisiana on Friday, Dec. 9, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the 21 and over show start at $65 and can be purchased online at goldennugget.com.
Forming in 1967 and fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon’s unrelenting drive, as well as nonstop touring and recording jump-started the burgeoning rock movement in America.
Platinum albums and radio staples soon followed, setting the stage for the release of the band’s explosive “Hi Infidelity” record in 1980, which contained the massive hit singles “Keep on Loving You” and “Take It on the Run.” That landmark album spent 15 weeks in the No. 1 slot and has since earned the RIAA’s coveted 10X Diamond Award for surpassing sales of 10 million units in the United States.
Today, REO Speedwagon has sold more than 40 million albums around the globe, and Cronin and bandmates Bruce Hall (bass), Neal Doughty (keyboards), Dave Amato (guitar), and Bryan Hitt (drums) are still electrifying audiences worldwide in concert with hits and fan-favorites such as “In Your Letter,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Time for Me to Fly,” “Roll with the Changes” and “Ridin’ the Storm Out.”
