This week, I am joined by Lawrence Gowan, keyboardist & singer for Styx, and we’re talking about the stories behind some of the band’s biggest hits, and their musical evolution across the last 5 decades! 

We also discuss: Lawrence’s solo hits; the dynamic in writing music as a solo artist vs. writing music with Styx; writing & recording with massive names in the progressive rock world (including Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta, & David Rhodes of Peter Gabriel’s touring band, Jon Anderson of Yes, and Alex Lifeson of Rush); & much more! 

Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com to hear all of the songs we discussed in this episode, and join the My Weekly Mixtape Discord Server via the link on the main menu!
