We are excited to welcome Terry Gowan to Styx!
The seven band members are committed to thrilling audiences around the world as they begin their second decade with an average of more than 100 shows per year. STYX consists of James “JY” Young, Tommy Shaw, Chuck Panozzo, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman, Will Evankovich and, picking up the baton from Ricky Phillips, taking over on bass is Terry Gowan.
Terry Gowan declares, “It is within an honor and somewhere beyond a dream come true to be joining JY, Tommy, Chuck, Will, and my brother Lawrence – and to be reacquainted with decade long Gowan bandmate Todd -- in taking on the mantle as the new bassist of the legendary STYX. Here’s to many years ahead on the Styx adventure!”
52 years ago today, we signed our first record deal with Chicago's independent label, Wooden Nickel Records.
“To me, there is an arc to every artist’s career. First, you become known initially as a performer. And then you begin to establish yourself with new songs and new music. You may do a cover song here or there, but mostly you go with new material written by you or by others. That goes on for a while — and then you get signed.” — James “JY” Young

Celebrating 'Equinox' today – an album that marked a pivotal point in our journey. What are your favorite moments from #Equinox?
“Equinox really was the start of some great records for A&M. We had an evolved sense of who we were, and what we could accomplish. And our goals were then set that much higher. In the context of Styx, I think it all came together on that record." — James “JY” Young.
