Special Ticketed Event – All Ages Bio 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 (lead vocals, 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 by entering their second decade of averaging 100 shows a year, and each one of them is committed to making 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, a Styx 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 it made, the band draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signature sound. 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 cutting CRASH OF THE CROWN, hailed by critics as a “masterpiece,” was crystal-clear to its co-creator from the get-go.
