The guy who plays keyboards and sings now is Larry Gowan, from Canada. In 1987 the band I was in got a call to go open for his band of the time, simply named Gowan. We didn't get to meet him but we DID fire up his audience!

I saw Styx with Kansas opening about 5 years ago and they sound exactly like they did back in their day. They can still sing well and the replacement players are top notch. The old bass player came out and did one or two songs with them too.
