Tour Rolls On!

STYX, REO & UNCLE TED: All Aboard!

The Midwest Rock n' Roll Express tour with Styx, REO Speedwagon and Ted Nugent gets underway tonight in Hidalgo, Texas. Naturally all three hail from the Midwest with Styx and REO from Illinois and Nugent from Michigan. REO singer Kevin Cronin says, "It's gonna be a Midwestern rock and roll extravaganza."

All three bands have previously shared the stage together -- most notably tours by Styx and REO. And Nugent goes way back with both bands, and he is particularly close with Tommy Shaw of Styx from their time together in Damn Yankees.

The tour runs through July 8th in Bangor, Maine.
