Kevin Cronin
Taking a walk, sat down and I have a little red Wurlitzer electric piano and it started playing those chords for the verses of Keep on loving you. And the lyric just came. It was about 20 minutes of a burst of creative energy. But I didn't write the chorus. A lot of times it happens for me that way, where I write the verses and then I need to get away from it a little bit. And then the chorus comes.

Buzz Knight
Welcome to the Taking a Walk podcast hosted by Buzz Knight. The podcast where Buzz talks with music musicians and gets the inside stories behind their music. And today, we're joined by a legend who's been serenading us with timeless rock ballads for decades. Kevin Cronin, the iconic lead vocalist and guitarist of REO Speedwagon has been a staple of American rock music since the 70s. Kevin's heading out on the road with the Kevin Cronin Band, the voice and songs of REO Speedwagon. Here's Buzz with Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon on the Taking a Walk podcast. Hey, Buzz.
- [03:53]
Hey, how are you?
- [03:54]
Kevin Cronin
Kevin I'm good. I'm beginning to wake up. You know, we're on the west coast here, and I operate on rock and roll time a little bit. You know, I got. My day revolves around going to work at 8, 9:00 at night, so it's an early morning. But it's wor to get out and spread the word about what's going on with REO Speedwagon and myself and the music and the song. So I appreciate you having me.
- [04:29]
Buzz Knight
It's great to have you on. And since the podcast is called Taking a Walk, I wanted to ask you if you could take a walk with somebody living or dead. Doesn't have to be in the music side of things, but maybe, preferably, who would that be and where would you take a walk with them? Kevin?
- [04:51]
Kevin Cronin
Wow. Well, you know, my, my musical heroes were the Beatles, obviously. You know, I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 and, and I looked at the TV screen and I was like, that's what I want to do. I've been taking guitar lessons for a couple of years and didn't really know why until. But post Beatles, I just, I really gravitated toward the music of Stephen Stills, you know, with Buffalo Springfield, with Crosby, Stills and Nash as a solo artist. Stephen just, he just does it for me, man. He's an amazing singer, amazing guitar player. Electric and acoustic, and his songwriting speaks for itself. So I would go for a walk with Stephen. I like to walk on the beach, and I actually like to walk in the soft sand because it's just a better exercise and it's easy on the body. And I used to be a runner, but since I just realized that running, it was a great part of my life when I ran. But now walking on the beach kind of serves that same purpose. It just. My mind just kind of frees itself and I get most of my better ideas come in a nice long beach walk. But I'll tell you what, I kind of manifested meeting Stephen Stills one day. I put on that first Crosby, Stills and Nash record and played Sweet Judy blue eyes 12 times, picked up the needle 12 times. But I write about my adventure with Stephen Stills in my pocket book, which I'm still working on. But. But, yeah, Stephen. Stephen has played a big part in my life and. And I. I owe a lot to him.
- [07:03]
Buzz Knight
So we're going to talk about the. The Brotherhood tour in a bit. I know you're super excited about that. You got your. Your sticks, brothers and Mr. Felder, as well as part of that tour, and, of course, your great touring band. But talk about the early days in Chicago and how did your upbringing really influence you musically?
- [07:31]
Kevin Cronin
Well, you know, I come from. From a musical household. My parents were both deep into Broadway musicals, so I. I grew up listening to, you know, because you put an album on in the. In the living room, and it was a small. You. Whatever music mom and dad were listening to, that's what I heard. So I listened to, you know, west side Story, South Pacific, you know, My Fair lady, all these great classic Broadway musicals. But then there was a musical called Bye Bye Birdie, which was the first rock and roll musical. And the lead character was Conrad Birdie. And he was the. He was basically Elvis Presley. And when I heard that, I was like, whoa. That spoke to me in a different way. But I was encouraged to play music. It was my dad who suggested the guitar because he was like, you know, I wanted to play drums, but he was like, you know, the guitar, you can take it anywhere. Anywhere you go, you can bring your guitar with you. And I'll never forget that when he told me that because the guitar has been my constant companion, it's been like a friend. It's been a vessel for me to express my emotions. And, you know, just, you know, the guitar is. Is what allows me to write songs. And so I love the guitar. I've got guitars if you looked around this room, there's. And around our house, there are guitars everywhere, and it's just a beautiful instrument. And. And so, yeah, taking guitar lessons, man, that's where it started for me.
- [09:32]
Buzz Knight
So you joined REO shortly after their debut album. What drew you to the band? And can you talk about the. The early days of first joining reo?
- [09:44]
Kevin Cronin
Well, you know, I was born and raised in Chicago, and my chance meeting with Gary Richrath was you couldn't have written a. If I wrote the story and tried to turn it into a TV show or a play, no one would believe it because it. But basically I put. I hung flyers in all the music stores in Chicago advertising the. The Musicians Referral Service. And basically the Musicians Referral Service was. Was my idea to try to find musicians for my band. Our. Our guitar player and our bass player both left, and I. So I needed a guitar player and a bass player. So I just thought, well, I'll. I'll start this little company, and I'll be like a conduit for musicians who are looking for bands and bands that are looking for musicians, and I'll take the best musicians for my band. But I soon realized that a lot of people called in and had great stories, but I couldn't really verify whether the stories were true or whether every. Every guitar player was the next Eric Clapton. You know, every singer was the next Paul McCartney. So. But. So I was. The idea kind of went south, but the flyers were still up. And one day the phone rang, and this guy is telling me that he's the lead guitar player in a band. They're signed to Epic Records. They're getting ready to go in and make their second album in Nashville, and they needed a guy who could sing, play rhythm guitar and write songs. And I'm like, you know what? I think I've got the guy for you. I swear to God, that's how it happened. And Rich Rev came up to. I was living on campus at Loyola University in Chicago, and he came up and, you know, I played the most recent song that I written. It was actually my kind of. My first real song, a song called Music man. And. And evidently Gary liked what he heard, because next thing I knew, I was in Champaign, Illinois, on. On the campus of the University of Illinois, and I was the new lead singer of REO Speedwagon. Pretty crazy story. There's more to it than that. But. But that. That's the gist of it.
- [12:28]
Buzz Knight
I love it. And I also love the fact that you created, like, a. A precursor to, like, Band camp or whatever. In terms of this network, I think it's pretty. Pretty amazing. Really great. So Keep On Loving you Can't Fight this Feeling, two of the most iconic songs of our generation. What is it like striking gold with songs like that to take us into that story?
- [12:59]
Kevin Cronin
Wow. It's an indescribable feeling, I can tell you that. It's, you know, songwriting is such an amazing experience. And the way it usually works for me is I'll just pick up a guitar and just, you know, just start, you know, no preconceived notion of what I'm going to do. I just pick it up and start playing. And if something's going on in my heart that. That needs to come out, that emotion will. Will attach itself to the. Whatever I'm playing on the guitar. And I'll start to just sing and, and, and. And melodies come out and words come out. It's, it's. I can't account for how it happens, but. And I write a lot of songs. I don't play all of them for people, but every once in a while I'll just fall onto something and kind of. What you said you kind of do have a feeling about certain songs. Like. I wrote the verses for Keep On Loving youg. I kind of stumbled down the hallway of my house. First little house I had a little home studio. It was about 4:00 in the morning and I sat down and I have a little red Wurlitzer electric piano. And it started playing those chords for the verses of Keep On Loving you. And the lyric just came. It was about 20 minutes of a burst of creative energy and. But I didn't write the chorus. A lot of times it happens for me that way, where I write the verses and then I need to get away from it a little bit. And then the chorus comes. Because I've never planned it this way, but looking back, I noticed that a lot of times. And Keep on Loving you is a perfect example where the verses are pretty dark because songs are normally my way of kind of unraveling what's going on inside of me. And the next day I went into rehearsal and we were working on our upcoming album, which would become High Infidelity. We didn't know it at the time, and I was just playing the chords for the verse and just waiting for the chorus to arrive and suddenly there it was. And my choruses are usually hopeful is what I kind of notice. And so you get the true vulnerability, hopefully, and an expression of a difficult situation in the ver. But then the chorus is. Is the hopeful part. And like I said, I've never. I never planned it that way. I kind of just realized it recently. You know, in doing interviews, you kind of take a. Take a look back at things because people ask questions, and that's what I noticed. And so. But that song Keep On Loving youg has taken me on a journey that, you know, it was my first number one song, which, as a songwriter, you know, it doesn't get much better than that. And, you know, now, you know, people like Keith Urban. You know, I saw someone sent me a video of Keith Urban coming out for the. For his encore of his show, and I'm a fan of Keith's. And he sits down at the piano and he. He says to the full arena, what does he say? Everybody feel like singing along, and they're all, yeah, yeah. And. And then he plays Keep On Loving you. And I just sit there and I go, this is unbelievable. Keith Urban is playing this song and 20,000 people are singing along with him. So it's an amazing experience. I'm humbled by it. The fact that that song has gotten into people's hearts and souls is just amazing to me. And I just love playing that song for people and just feeling the energy that they give back to me when they sing along. And I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

Buzz Knight
Welcome back to the Taking a Walk podcast.
- [21:22]
Well, to quote one of my favorite songs, roll with the Changes. You are rolling with the changes. You've announced the end of Vario's touring under that name. Can you talk about what inspired that decision, what was involved with it, and what the fans can expect to see coming to see you on the road in 2025?
- [21:45]
Kevin Cronin
Well, you know, I am honestly devastated by the fact that I can't tour under the name REO Speedwagon because I've spent my entire ad of putting all my energy, all my heart and soul into building up the concept of REO Speedwagon and what REO Speedwagon stands for, which is hard work, having fun, positive energy. Even though I'm not permitted to use the name REO Speedwagon anymore, no one is, but no one can stop me from playing those songs and no one can stop me from spreading that song same REO Speedwagon energy. And that's what I'm going to be doing this year. I'm so happy that Dave Amato and Brian Hitt, who played in REO for 36 years, they've been by my side since 1989 and they will, and they're sticking with me. Derek Hillen and Matt Bissonnette, who joined the band in 2023, they're staying with me. The entire road crew is staying with me. The agents, the managers, everybody is sticking with me. And there was just some, there were just disputes. You know, bands, bands are intricate, unique organisms. And Bruce hall and I played together for 47 years, which is a pretty amazing run. And we accomplished a lot as bandmates. But things change and people grow up and as we grow up, sometimes we get closer, sometimes we surround ourselves with, with different people that, that influence us in, in different ways. And I'm proud of everything that I accomplished with REO Speedwagon. And as I say, it's, it's gonna be, it's gonna be an Ario Speedwagon experience. When you come and see the Kevin Cronin Band, that's just, that's what I'm all about. I'm all about playing those songs that we're going to be playing the entire High Infidelity album In sequence. Plus all the other hits, you know, can't Fight this Feeling and Roll with the changes, Time for me to fly, Keep Pushing and of course all the, the songs from High Infidelity, you know, keep on loving you, taking on the run, you know, tough guys, you know, wish you were there in your letter, don't let him go. We're playing every song, every album cut. It's really fun, man. It's really fun to play that whole album because I was so invested in that record. I just loved that album and I put so much love into it and you know, the name High Infidelity just kind of dropped into my lap one day and I believed in that album and believed in those songs so strongly. And you know, you never know when you're making an album what kind of a journey that album is going to take you on. And High Infidelity has taken me to places all over the world that I never would have seen and I've met people that I never would have met, you know, through that music. And even though I can't tour Zario Speedwagon, I'm going to keep that music alive. Nobody can stop me from doing that.
- [25:12]
Buzz Knight
I wouldn't try, that's for sure. Because you're hell bent on bringing it to people and you love bringing it to people. It's so obvious and you're so passionate about it. How does it make you feel when you see the multi generations that are just loving all the music at these shows?
- [25:28]
Kevin Cronin
It's, it's, it's amazing. What music. The power of music. The power of music to bring people together and, and you know, you can't, you can't duplicate the, the live conc. In. In any way. It's amazing, you know, for us on stage to, to be playing these songs and you know, I'll play the opening chords of Time for Me to Fly and you know, everybody's up on their feet singing along and you know, and, and I just, I'm taken back to, you know, you know, in the case of Time for Me to Fly, I remember exactly where I was when I wrote it. You know, I was, I was on a friend's porch in Boulder, Colorado. Again, you know that that's, that song is three chords. It's literally three chords. But it doesn't matter, man. It's not how many chords it is, it's. It's about the feeling of the song and that people took it, took that song and so many of my songs and Gary Richrath songs into their hearts and you know, Gary and I, we had our ups and downs over the years. We were, we were brothers and musical partners and, you know, we never really co wrote in the traditional sense, but Gary's influence on my songs made my songs better. And I'd like to think that my influence on Gary's songs made his songs better. So our stank is all over each other's songs. So when I play any of those songs, whether they're mine or Gary's, their REO Speedwagon songs, and we collaborated on them in our own way. Sadly, Gary's no longer with us, but I feel like it's my responsibility to kind of keep an eye on Gary's songs, make sure that they continue to be performed. And I love singing Gary songs. I feel like they're my own and I'm their caretaker, so. And that's what the Kevin Cronin Band is going to be doing. We're going to be keeping that music alive and playing those songs and respecting those songs. And you know, I can't remember what the question was.
- [27:47]
Buzz Knight
Oh, it's just the joy of being out there connecting with the multi generations of fans who love the music.
- [27:54]
Kevin Cronin
You know what? And you're right. And I see that happening and you know, I'm a dad, I love my kids. And music has been a bond between myself and my children. And to see people bringing their kids to our shows, it's a beautiful thing. And we've always been kind of a family friendly band. You know, our songs are songs that, that are accessible. They're, they're kind of, you know, I look at them as being kind of rocked up folk songs. And you know, they're, they're story songs. They're there. You can sing along to them. And to see young people. There was a show we played recently where there was a group of six or seven kids in college kids, they had to be right in the front row. And we walked out on stage and I was like, oh boy, I hope these people know the songs or whatever. And sure enough, they were singing along with every song. And we kind of had a running joke through the whole show about how young they were and about how awesome it was that they, they grew up with, with their parents playing REO Speedwagon records. And there they were at the concert. And I think probably mom and dad were in the crowd somewhere, but. But the kids were right up front.
- [29:16]
Buzz Knight
Well, you have six kids. How do you balance, you know, work life and personal life with your family?
- [29:23]
Kevin Cronin
Wow. You know, I, I didn't Realize that I have six kids, but. But, you know, I've. It's a complicated extended family that I have. I raised my first wife's son, Chris, and we had a son together, Paris. And then I remarried, and Lisa and I have been together for 36 years, and we have three kids, Holly, Josh, and Shane. And my wife Lisa was a big part of both Chris and Paris's life too, because they were young at the time. So I think she did a great job. She's just an amazing woman. She's beautiful and brilliant and fun and everything that a guy could want in a woman. I definitely married up. But she raised our kids to have a respect for what I do. But when I'm home, I'm dad. I'm taking out the garbage, picking up the furniture when it gets blown down the hill, when the Santa Ana winds hit us. And my children and I are all close, and as far as they're concerned, I'm just dad. And it's funny because as they've gotten older, they've started coming to concerts and kind of have a better understanding of my music, and it's really fun, but they're well rounded young people, and I couldn't be more proud of them. And. And my wife did an amazing job. I was around, you know, a little bit, but. But I give it up to. To my wife, Lisa. She. She did the heavy lifting.
- [31:14]
Buzz Knight
So in. In closing, Kevin, how do you want your legacy to be thought of in the music industry?
- [31:21]
Kevin Cronin
Wow. You know, honestly, I've never thought about that. You know, I guess I would want to be remembered as someone who kept it real, who always strove to build on the minimal, natural ability that I have and make the most of my talent. And to be an example that no one would have ever accused me of being most likely to succeed in high school, but I believed and I worked really hard and I kept it real. And I love what I do. Music has allowed me to bloom as a human being. Without my guitar, I don't know where I would be today. And so if I can be an example of hard work paying off and just a. An unquenchable thirst for improvement and a love of music and. Wow. Yeah, I don't know, that's. If I was gonna put it in a nutshell. Gosh, I guess I would say that. That I serve the songs. And as a musician, I think that's your job. The song is what it's. And it's the songs that have taken me on this amazing journey. And it's these songs that I love that I'm fortunate enough to have written and recorded and sung on records and gotten into people's hearts and souls. And I'm going to continue to bring that music with me and the Kevin Cronin Band and, and even though we can't call it REO Speedwagon, it's the REO Speedwagon Experience, and we'll be bringing it to a city near you this summer. The whole High Infidelity record in sequence, cover to cover, bunch of the other hits. Roll out the changes. Time for me to fly Riding the storm out can't fight this feeling. So I appreciate you having me on Buzz and allowing me to kind of spread the word because that's what I've got to do. I've got. I've got to let people know that, that the Kevin Cronin Band is basically the REO Speedwagon Experience. And if you want that experience, that positive energy, if you want to hear those songs played live by, by an awesome band, Dave, Brian, Derek and Matt, and sung by the guy that sang them on the record, Words, it's not called REO Speedwagon, it's called the Kevin Cronin Band. But between you and me, it's REO Speedwagon.
- [34:24]
Buzz Knight
I love it. Thanks for the joy of all the music that you continue to give us and thanks for spreading the word. Kevin Cronin, it's great to have you on Taking a Walk.
- [34:35]
