Lawrence Gowan of STYX on their latest album The Mission

Lawrence Gowan is a Scottish-born Canadian
musician, and keyboardist and lead vocalist for the legendary
American rock band, Styx.  As a member of Styx for nearly
twenty years, Gowan has recorded four studio albums and toured
the world over, playing more than 1,600 shows with the
band. In June of this year, Styx released their “sonically
sweet” 16th studio album, The Mission, which chronicles the
trials, tribulations, and ultimate triumphs of the first manned
mission to Mars in the year 2033. From the hopeful drive of the
lead single “Gone Gone Gone” to the pivotal harmonic convergence
of “Radio Silence” to the elegiac optimism of the closing track
“Mission to Mars,” The Mission succeeds in delivering the greater
good from a band that continues to fire on all cylinders, 45
years after signing its first recording contract.
