Lawrence Gowan of Styx

Born in Scotland and raised in Canada, Lawrence Gowan carved a path to a very successful solo career, having released six albums and selling millions of records and collecting two Juno awards over a 13 year span.  However, in 1997 his musical path took a turn when he had a chance to open for Styx in Montreal.  Tommy Shaw took notice of Gowan’s talent and charismatic stage performance and invited him to join the band two years later.  Fast forward 21 years, Gowan has become an integral part of this legendary band and on June 18 they’ll release their 17th studio album, “Crash Of The Crown.”  Here to talk to us about this new album project is Styx lead vocalist, Lawrence Gowan.
