A Tribute to REO Speedwagon, Survivor, and Loverboy, this five piece band had the goal of creating a hard-driving, fist pumping, rock and roll force.
On November 30th, 2018, REO Survivor & Co. made their debut appearance at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC. From the very first note, the band had the audience enthusiastically singing along to such classic anthems as REO Speedwagon’s “Take It on The Run,” Survivor’s “Eye of The Tiger,” and Loverboy’s “Working for the Weekend.”
