Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

Born September 11, 1953 in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, Tommy Shaw started his professional career in 1975 with Styx, a week before the band started its tour, following the departure of John Curelewski.
During those years, Styx’s album "Cornerstone" was the biggest selling album of 1979… and 1980. Their following album, "Paradise Theatre," is one of the top-selling pop-rock albums of all time.
Through several solo albums, and a stint with Damn Yankees, he is now back with Styx. They released the album "Brave New World" in 1999 and completed a world tour for it.
