Tommy Shaw's Bio:
Tommy Shaw was born in Montgomery, Alabama in 1953 and played with many local bands in his early years. He left Montgomery after high school to join MS Funk, a Chicago-managed outfit that he played with for 3 years, which gave him a chance to be noticed by the
band Styx during a 2-week club gig in Chicago. After MS Funk disbanded, he went back to Montgomery to join a local group with his childhood friends called Harvest, which performed at a club in a bowling alley called “Keglar’s Kove”. Following Styx’s m
ove to A&M, guitarist and vocalist John Curulewski suddenly left the band shortly before they were to embark on a nationwide tour, and a frantic search to find a last-minute replacement was launched. While playing at the bowling alley bar, as a result of h
is previous experience with MS Funk in Chicago, Shaw got the call to audition for Styx and was quickly hired.
The first album with Shaw, “Crystal Ball” (1976), was titled after his own composition and also includes his songs “Mademoiselle” and “Shoo
z”. Its follow-up, The Grand Illusion (1977) became the group’s breakthrough album, which went platinum and also featured a radio hit by Shaw, “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)”.
