About REO Survivor
REO Survivor is a professional tribute band dedicated to faithfully recreating the sound, energy, and musicianship of REO Speedwagon’s classic live era. Their performances are built on soaring lead vocals, melodic guitar runs, rich synthesizer textures, and the emotionally charged power ballads that put REO Speedwagon at the top of American rock radio. The five musicians behind REO Survivor bring both technical precision and genuine stage presence to every show: Kerry Craig handles lead vocals, David Miller drives the sound on keyboards, synthesizers, and lead vocals, Mike Graci anchors the rhythm on drums and percussion, Freddie Banner holds down the low end on bass and vocals, and Robert Bussey leads on guitars and vocals. The band performs at theaters, festivals, casinos, and concert venues across the country. Every REO Survivor show is designed to put the audience inside those recordings, and the result is a live experience that earns its place on any stage.
What You Will Hear
REO Speedwagon’s catalog traces a remarkable arc from blue-collar Midwestern touring band to one of the defining voices of American melodic rock. Their music built its following on tight FM radio hooks, driving rhythms, and ballads that cut straight through to the emotion beneath the surface. Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Keep On Loving You,” “Take It On The Run,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Roll With The Changes,” “Riding The Storm Out,” “Time For Me To Fly,” and “Don’t Let Him Go” woven through the set. The songs range from hard-charging rock anthems to reflective, delicately constructed ballads, and REO Survivor performs all of it with attention to the sonic detail that made these recordings matter in the first place.
