Styx Biography

Styx is a renowned rock band that originated in Chicago, Illinois, in 1972. With a fusion of melodic hard rock guitar, acoustic guitar, synthesizers, and acoustic piano, the band's music style is eclectic and captivating. Their breakthrough album, "The Grand Illusion" (1977), began a series of four consecutive multi-platinum albums in the US, solidifying their place in the rock music industry. The band has had a successful run with eight top-10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 and 16 top-40 singles, including well-known tracks like "Lady," "Come Sail Away," "Babe," "The Best of Times," and "Mr. Roboto."

Over the years, Styx has experienced several lineup changes, yet they have managed to keep their music and performances fresh and engaging. Their live album "Caught in the Act" included a Top 40 studio track, "Music Time," showcasing the band's versatility. After reuniting in 1995, Styx released a successful live set in 1997 titled "Return to Paradise," which achieved gold status, reflecting the band's ability to consistently produce high-quality music.

Styx's contribution to the music industry has been recognized with their induction into the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum Hall of Fame in June 2022. Their studio album "Cyclorama" reached No. 127 on the Billboard 200 album charts, while "Big Bang Theory," an album of cover tunes, reached the Billboard Top 50. Styx's recent album "Crash of the Crown" received positive reviews, further cementing their legacy in the music industry. Despite changes in the lineup, such as Ricky Phillips leaving the band in 2024 and Terry Gowan joining as the new touring bass player, Styx continues to deliver compelling performances and produce new music.
