Tommy Shaw, Lawrence Gowan, and Terry join Eddie Trunk from SiriusXM’s Vegas studio to discuss their current residency at the Venetian Theater.
The band shares stories about performing “Pieces of Eight” in its entirety, including the excitement of playing deep cuts like “Great White Hope” and “Sing for the Day.” They also discuss their new album, “Circling from Above,” their upcoming summer tour with Chicago, and the return of their “Rockin’ in Paradise” event in Miramar Beach, Florida. The conversation takes some amusing turns as they share their pre-show health regimens, including their collective fascination with “lion’s mane” mushrooms, and their thoughts on AI’s impact on music. Tommy also reveals the emotional story behind a song he’s writing about his late sister, highlighting the human connection that can’t be replicated by technology.
