Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon

Iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin has fronted REO Speedwagon since 1972. With Cronin at the mic, the band’s unrelenting drive, as well as non-stop touring and recording, jump-started the burgeoning rock movement in the Midwest. Platinum albums and freeform FM radio staples such as “Ridin’ The Storm Out” followed, setting the stage for the release of the band’s explosive Hi Infidelity (1980). Hi Infidelity’s millions in sales were fueled by the massive hit singles “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run.” Nearly 40 years later, the now RIAA Diamond Award-certified album (for 10 million sold in the U.S.) Hi Infidelity still remains a high-water mark for rock bands, with its 15 weeks in the No. 1 slot. With REO, Cronin has sold 22 million albums in the U.S. and 40 million around the globe, including a string of nine consecutive platinum-plus albums and several international hit singles. Those hits include many that he has personally written or co-written, such as "Keep on Loving You," "Can't Fight This Feeling," "Roll With the Changes," "Time for Me to Fly," "Don't Let Him Go," “In My Dreams”, and many more. Cronin’s performances at Live Aid, back-to-back sold out shows at The Houston Astrodome and New Orleans Super-Dome and Tokyo’s Budokan Arena, and five sell-outs at Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheater, are among Cronin’s many career highlights. And there are many more to come!

More recently, in addition to his work with REO Speedwagon, in 2023, Kevin Cronin performed a duet with Dolly Parton on his number one hit "Keep on Loving You" for her Rockstar album. Cronin is also an active philanthropist and is currently putting the final touches on his memoir, "Roll With The Changes... my life within and without REO Speedwagon." He has many more surprises coming soon… stay tuned.
