Familiar faces will take the stage at the Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater this Tuesday, July 15.

Former REO Speedwagon lead singer Kevin Cronin, Styx, and Don Felder are bringing the Brotherhood of Rock tour to Bridgeport.

It's a homecoming of sorts, Cronin says, as he played in the opening show at the venue in 2021.

"We opened it," Cronin says. "So, we kind of feel a special connection to it."

Bridgeport is where REO Speedwagon recorded its first album at Connecticut Recording studios.

Cronin says the energy of the crowd is what keeps artists like him coming back to the amphitheater year after year.

"To walk out and play the opening chords of 'Time For Me to Fly' and see the audience – you just feel it," Cronin says. "We're looking forward to getting back to Bridgeport and picking up where we left off."
