About 10 years or so ago I saw Styx for the first time and walked away with a broad smile on my face. Styx put on a great show, beyond expectations. I was familiar with a lot of their songs, … Continue reading Album Review: Tommy Shaw – Girls With Guns

Yes, the fee to get in was based on donation only and present-day … Continue reading Concert Review: Styx Does Things Their Way
