About this episode
Our guest today is the Diamond-selling singer/songwriter behind one of America’s most beloved rock and roll bands: Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon . After 52 years, Kevin is branching out on his own to bring the hits of REO Speedwagon , B-sides, deep cuts, and brand-new material to life as the Kevin Cronin Band . The band’s inaugural jaunt will hit amphitheaters across the United States with STYX and Don Felder through the summer of 2025, and will feature a performance of the 1980 classic “ Hi Infidelity ” cover-to-cover. Kevin joins us to discuss the end of REO Speedwagon, carrying on their iconic legacy and catalog, Live Aid , how Train ’s Pat Monohan and a literal train almost cost him an AirPod , the Beatles , being his own talent scout, and a very special delivery for Mr. Mario Speedwagon.
