The seven men comprising Styx--James “JY” Young (lead vocals, guitars), Tommy Shaw (lead vocals,guitars), Chuck Panozzo (bass, vocals), Todd Sucherman (drums, percussion), Lawrence Gowan (leadvocals, keyboards),CRASH OF THE CROWN producer and co-writer Will Evankovich (guitars),Terry Gowan (bass, vocals)--have committed to rocking the Paradise together with audiences far and wide byentering their second decade of averaging 100 shows a year, and each one of them is committed tomaking the next show better than the last. Styx draws from over five decades of barn-burning chart hits,joyous singalongs, and hard-driving deep cuts. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo, aStyx 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 regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of “Come Sail Away” to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged “Renegade” who had itmade, the band draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signaturesound.

Styx released their 17th studio album in 2021,CRASH OF THE CROWN, which was written pre-pandemic and recorded during the trying times of the pandemic. Styx’s holy mission for cuttingCRASHOF THE CROWN,hailed by critics as a “masterpiece,” was crystal-clear to its co-creator from the get-go.“Absolutely no obstacles were going to get in the way of how we approached creating this album,”singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw concludes about the herculean recording efforts of his fellowCOTCmakers.“And everything came out exactly the way we wanted to hear it.”

After more than two decades together on the road, this incarnation of Styx is looking forward toperforming as many shows as it can as long as it can. “Music is this amazing force that comes from ahigher place. I'm humbled for this band to have the great success that it has,” says co-foundingguitarist/vocalist James “JY” Young. “The legacy of this band will be that it brought joy to millions ofpeople,” notes drummer Todd Sucherman. Observes keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, “We’vealways tried to explain why this is this happening. It’s obviously a multitude of factors, but the main one isthat our show isreally good! And if it’s really good, they’re going to come to see it again.” Styx hopes it’s awave that never crests. “Every night, we go on that magic carpet ride together,” observes original bassistChuck Panozzo, who joins the band on tour as often as he can. “We just want to keep on doing this,”asserts Tommy. “We want to let life take its course and let this music continue to be the soundtrack to it.And this band will continue to evolve as long as we live and play this music.
