Longtime Styx fan Michael Notarnicola is excited the Dennis DeYoung will be performing the music of the great band. “I love Styx because they pay really close attention to melody and harmony and making them work together,” said Notarnicola. “My favorite song is definitely ‘Come Sail Away’ because the piano intro is really pretty and it switches up genres in an interesting way.”
