Kevin Cronin, now touring under his own name with the same musicians that were in his recent version of REO Speedwagon, didn’t let a rare snowstorm last Friday in New Orleans get in the way of his show there.
Although many flights to the “Crescent City” were canceled, he and the band along with key members of his crew were able to get there.
Cronin says his monitor engineer was able to fly from San Francisco to Houston where he rented a car for the six-hour drive. And the band was able to switch flights at the last minute and get six seats to Dallas. But, with all commercial flights to New Orleans canceled, their manager chartered a turbo-prop plane to get them there and the show went on.
Cronin’s next show is February 22nd in Welch, Minnesota, followed by this summer’s Brotherhood of Rock tour with Styx and Don Felder.
