Trio of '70s rock bands set to play The Wharf - Press-Register Entertainment - al.com: "In 1975, rockers Kevin Cronin and Tommy Shaw almost went down one path together before unexpected opportunities drew them in different directions.

'We were both in Chicago playing in local bands,' Cronin told the Press-Register last week, recalling his meeting with Shaw more than three decades ago. 'We almost started a band together. Within a couple of weeks of when we met and we were talking about that, Tommy got the call from Styx and I got the call from REO.'"
