Sad news this week about the passing of Gary Richrath, an original guitarist for the band REO Speedwagon. Local music fans, though, should know his death will not affect REO's upcoming show at The Stanley in Utica.
Former REO Speedwagon guitarist Gary Richrath, whose songwriting and technique were major components of the group's early sound and success, has died at the age of 65.
Frontman Kevin Cronin was having a humorous conversation with a TMZ reporter about the implications of REO Speedwagon's "Take It On the Run" when his son, clearly bored, said something awful.
The list of bands who will not perform at SeaWorld just added another member. Last night, REO Speedwagon pulled out of an upcoming gig at the Orlando popular theme park.
