Reo Speedwagon

Back then, no small amount of confusion still surrounded these legendary Illinois rockers.

The list of bands who will not perform at SeaWorld just added another member. Last night, REO Speedwagon pulled out of an upcoming gig at the Orlando popular theme park.

As it turns out, Wednesday’s Rock to the Rescue benefit concert at Bloomington, Ill.'s U.S. Cellular Coliseum was aptly named. Although organizers won’t have a final tally until early next week, they already know that they raised more than $300,000, with additional funds still to come as online donations and merchandise sales continue.

Midwestern rockers Styx and REO Speedwagon will stage a benefit concert to aid central Illinois families impacted by the recent tornadoes and high winds that hit the area. The event, scheduled for Dec. 4 at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, has been titled Rock to the Rescue.

It's only mid-October and the Moondance Jam 23 camp is pretty excited. A release from organizers has put the stamp of approval on 4 bands who are no stranger to Minnesota.

Since founding their Rock to the Rescue charity in 2002, frequent tourmates Styx and REO Speedwagon have raised money for a growing number of worthy causes. Their latest focus: the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.

Every weekday morning we pull a song out of the "attic". If you are new, the attic is a mythical place we used to hang out and enjoy great music and other "stuff".

Styx, Ted Nugent and REO Speedwagon are teaming up for a 30-date triple-threat summer tour named “The Midwest Rock ‘N Roll Express,” which will kick off May 1 in Hidalgo, Texas and cross all over the country before winding up in Gilford, N.Y. on July 7.

REO Speedwagon's lead singer is going country.

Every weekday around 9:30, we pull one out of the attic. In case you are new, the Attic is a mythical place where, in the 70′s, we were “enlightened” by great music…and other stuff.
