STYXANNOUNCES TERRY GOWANAS NEW BASS PLAYERThe seven band members are committed to thrilling audiences around the world as they begin their second decade with an average of more than 100 shows per year. STYX consists of James “JY” Young, Tommy Shaw, Lawrence Gowan, Chuck Panozzo, Todd Sucherman, Will Evankovich and, picking up the baton from Ricky Phillips, taking over on bass is Terry Gowan. Terry Gowan declares, “It is within an honor and somewhere beyond a dream come true to be joining JY, Tommy, Chuck, Will, and my brother Lawrence – and to be reacquainted with decade long Gowan bandmate Todd -- in taking on the mantle as the new bassist of the legendary STYX. Here’s to many years ahead on the Styx adventure!” "I’m very pleased and proud to have my brother, Terry, join Styx,” says Lawrence Gowan. “Terry played on four of my six solo Gowan albums. He’s on records that include some of the world’s most renowned musicians: Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta, Jon Anderson, and Alex Lifeson, as well as touring with Gowan from 1985 to 1990 and again 2010 to this year of 2024. It’s really great to have him aboard!” As Tommy Shaw exclaims, “We’re all looking forward to the Canadian shows that are coming up soon and introducing Terry Gowan on bass guitar and vocals as the newest Styx member!!! Are you ready to rock? We are too! See you soon!” Drummer Todd Sucherman adds, “I’ve had the pleasure of being a rhythm section partner with Terry Gowan for several years in Gowan’s band, and I look forward to welcoming this talented multi-instrumentalist into the fold.” STYX has five decades of hits and immortal rock songs. Like a symphony reaching a crescendo, a STYX show covers a wide range of styles. From “Suite Madame Blue” to “The Grand Illusion”, including “Lady”, “Blue Collar Man”, “Renegade”, “Miss America”, “Lorelei”, “Crystal Ball” and obviously “Come Sail Away,” the band has a virtually limitless supply of classics. CRASH OF THE CROWN, STYX's most recent album released in 2021, reached #1 on the Billboard Rock chart after its release.Legendary group STYX begins its tour in the Maritimes and Quebec this evening and will play shows in Moncton (5/17), Summerside (5/18), Halifax (5/19), Laval (5/21), Trois-Rivières Rivières (5/22), Alma (5/24) and Quebec City (5/25).

Paul Carrack’s ‘How Long’ 50th Anniversary Tour: Celebrating Five Decades of Timeless MusicIn 1974, Paul Carrack was in Ace when he wrote and performed ‘How Long,’ a song that resonated with audiences worldwide. The track reached No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and top 20 on the UK Singles Chart. In a 1981 issue of Smash Hits, Phil Collins named the song one of his top 10 favourites, describing it as a “classic single.”Carrack reflects on the significance of this song, saying, “‘How Long’ is probably the first song I wrote. In 1974, I was in a band called Ace in London. It was a fun band, and I wrote the song about a real situation, a situation that many people could relate to. Little did I know that it would become a classic and touch the hearts of so many. ‘How Long’ is a song that has stood the test of time, and I’m grateful for the journey it has taken me on over these incredible 50 years.”The ‘How Long’ 50th Anniversary Tour takes audiences on a journey through Carrack’s illustrious career, spanning half a century of extraordinary music. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of ‘How Long’ and Paul Carrack’s exceptional talent.
