Fans of REO Speedwagon can relive the magic this fall when the Kevin Cronin Band takes the stage at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for the show, produced by Pepper Entertainment, go on sale Friday, May 2, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.com and at the Queensborough Box Office at CCPAC.
Best known as the legendary voice behind REO Speedwagon’s chart-topping hits, Kevin Cronin brings a powerhouse lineup of seasoned musicians, according to a press release from the CCPAC.
The Kevin Cronin Band features lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt, both of whom have played in REO Speedwagon since 1989.
Keyboardist Derek Hilland, a former touring member with Foreigner and Whitesnake, joined the REO lineup in early 2023, while bassist Matt Bissonette brings his experience from touring with Elton John between 2012 and 2023.
This lineup first came together in late 2023 and quickly formed a strong musical chemistry, launching a successful run that included a residency at the Venetian Theater in Las Vegas, a summer tour with Train and a winter arena tour with Loverboy.
In Evans, the band will perform the full Hi Infidelity album—featuring classics like “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It on the Run”—alongside other hits including “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Roll with the Changes” and “Time for Me to Fly.”
The performance promises a nostalgic journey through the band’s storied catalog, driven by Cronin’s songwriting, co-production, and original vocals.
