I'm so very very happy for seeing the Larry Gowan's show for the next 18 March at Palais Montcalm of Quebec city. Gowan is my favorite anglophone singer since that I've 16 years old and I always listened his music before to make my school's works. It will be a great pleasure for going to see you on this next 18 March!

P.S. In front of stage!!

Sure would be interesting to meet you someday as I do enjoy your music and have for years. I have been mistaken many a time over the years as being your lookalike/twin. Reply back to me if you so chose to, I will alwyas be a fan. stay cool and enjoy life. :)

Sorry, LG just sent me the dates earlier this week and I just got a chance yesterday to post them. I'm sorry that you missed out.

I am always checking this site for dates in my area, but I was sad to learn I had missed out on tickets to the show in the falls. It was not posted here in time and when I heard about it, it was too late...sold out. I saw your Return of the Strange Animal show there last year and was hoping to see you again. Maybe making another date at the Falls this summer wouldn't be a bad idea...and please post in plenty of time on this site....Thanxs

Bonjour,

Enfin des dates de spectacles (solo) au Québec; je serai à Québec au Palais Montcalm le 18 mars 2011...au plaisir !

For Christmas and our 16 year anniversary present I bought my husband second row tickets to see you perform. We loved the concert very much we can not wait to see you again there. That was our second time seeing you there. When I got to touch you hand when you were on stage that was the best part of my trip. My daughter who turns 14 was so mad that she did not get to go with us. We did bring her a shirt back. We will be going as a family to watch you next time. Thank you for the great performance.

Lawrence, I watched you perform last night in Anaheim, and you are an absolute genius! Thank you!

I am a huge Styx fan and have been for 30 years. However, I have always been a Tommy Shaw fan. Tonight at the House of Blues in Anaheim, you changed my mind..I am now a huge Lawrence Gowan fan. Interesting how things can change. It was a pleasure to watch you perform tonight. Thank you for providing me with a night to remember.

My wife and I flew from Saskatoon and met you and Ricky Philips in Reno at thye coffee shop at the Silver Legacy where we came to watch you with Styx... The concert was excellant and worth every penny, we can't wait untill we can get to the next concert, we're thinking June the 5th in Birmingham UK. Thank you for for talking to us it made a great week-end unbelievable...............

Bonjour!

À quand un retour de Gowan dans la métropole?
Il y a si longtemps... Espérant revoir Gowan prochainement!
À bientôt,

Patrick

A guy sat in your house in L.A. while looking to buy it. He sat with you at your Steinway Piano and you showed him some licks that you started but had no lyrics. He started to sing... A criminal mind is all I've, All I've ever had.... He left those words with you... I am that person

Get in touch with me...

ah too many missed shows due to my health. I really miss being front and center having fun. Maybe in the future i will be able till then you guys are always in my thoughts i still moderate a group on yahoo in your honor.have a great new year!

You have an amazing voice, My twin boys who are 4 love your songs!! Please come to the Sudbury Area or Sault Ste Marie to play!!!!

finally found this offical website. just wanted to let you know that i saw you @the Red Robinson Theatre in Coquitlam B.C. last year.Untill that day i had only got the tickets for Styx as i had seen them 5 times back n the eighties. I was actually up getting beer when Tommy Shaw announced you as you launched into Criminal Minds, I almost dropped my beer! The Show was FANTASTIC. I actually got past security and met you and the band as you were leaving

Hi Larry

I used to watch your band Rhinegold at the Picadilly Tube in Toronto. I even sat down with you between sets one night and we had a great convesation. I would like to know how to get your very first album. Any help in this would be a great help.

Looking forward to seeing you perform at the Fallsview Casino on March 12! We'll be coming all the way from Chicago just for your show! I was very excited to see that only single seats are available for that show - it's gonna be a good one!!! Much love from the birthplace of STYX!

Greetings!
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"... And it was a great night at the Royal Conservatory last Saturday! We really enjoyed the whole show... but of course John McDermott saved the best for last!
Lawrence Gowan performs John Lennon... ahhhh... there's only so much a girl can take!! :D What a gift- thank you so much for that!
The energy level certainly did go way up when you took the stage... your jig was quiet impressive and your Christmas song is a catch tune indeed! I been catching myself humming it all week!
Looking forward to seeing you in Niagara in March!
May His peace and joy and blessings be yours this Christmas time!
Thanks again for sharing you wonderful gifts!
Sheryl

What an incredible voice you have especially when singing John Lennon songs as you did Dec 18/10 in Toronto.

I am avidly searching out other music with your voice alone. I also love your personality on stage. You are such fun!!!!!

So impressed with your musical talents. I believe that my 13 year old son could have a a fraction of that musical genious too! My father, a musician all his life, believes he gave him "the" gift. LOL! Did you inherit yours?

Saw you recently (Nov) with Styx in Bangor, and had a conversation with a native American, a very mild dispute ensued as to whether you were Canadian or not. (They had noticed my Canadian accent :) We Canadians of course, hold all our successful Canadians very close to our hearts and we are very proud of them/YOU! Regardless of where you were born, to me (to us) you are Canadian and we are proud of that fact!

The real reason for my comment, is to ask if you would consider coming east soon? Yourself, or as part of Styx. We would certainly welcome you back again to the Maritimes with open arms.

All the best, and Happy Holidays.

When you made a stop at the Louisville Palace this year you made the year for an 8 year old girl. Most 8 year olds want to meet Disney stars, but mine only wanted to meet you...
You walked out the back door toward the motorcoach and saw her, you came right up to her and talked to her like she was the most important person in the world...thank you...from not only a huge fan...but a Mom...THANK YOU!

Hi there,

You are litterally the reason Derek and I are together -- You performed the "Strange Animal" Tour about 5yrs ago (Feb. 18, 2006) - I met Derek that night (after a friend convinced me to go see you at Centenial Hall in London Ontario). Ever since then we've been together. Now, 5 yrs later, you are back in the region and we have tickets to go to Niagara Falls in March 2011 to see "Strange Animal" again and with any luck, we can get you to sign the picture taken 5yrs ago here in London! THANK YOU for your music, for coming to London and for playing a part in my meetin the man of my dreams! Who knew you had that much influence/power! haha! See you in March

Hey Gowan,
SOOO glad to see you'll be coming back to Ontario next year. First saw you in Belleville, ON at the local arena on your first Strange Animal tour and you've been making an impression on my life ever since. I REALLY want to bring my 8 year old daughter to this Strange Animal tour, however as was the case earlier this year in Niagara I don't think I could "slip" her into a casino. Too bad 'cause she'd absolutely LOVE to see you live.
In any case I'll still be logging onto Ticketmaster tomorrow 'cause my husband %26 I aren't gonna miss this show!!!
Keep up the awsome work and I'll look forward to rock'n in Niagara in 2011.
Cheers,
Kerry

Larry, you were, and still are one of my initial inspirations for singing/songwriting. My sister is one of the Good Lovelies, folk/roots music...they won a Juno last year. I love your style lyrically and musically...would love to collaborate.

I might have spelled the band name wrong, have been listening to Larry since the 70s when he played in a band called rinegold I believe, saw him several times at the Rondon on Dundas ST west in Toronto. Still a great singer

Wishing the "Strange Animal" a birthday full of all of your "Moonlight Desires!" Don't let your "Criminal Mind" get you into too much trouble, and keep Dancing on your Own Ground!

Jo

Happy Birthday Larry!
I was just at my frist Styx show om 11-12-2010 it was a blast did not want it to end.It will not be my last now.As i am hooked:) JY%26TS got it right when you came on board sir.

Hope you have a very happy birthday and a great Christmas holiday too! :)

I would really love it if you could post the chords or tab to this song because i am trying to learn to play it and i am stuck. its not an easy song to learn by ear

thanks ;)

Lawrence,

I went to my first concert in Louisville on the 7th to see Styx play. You guys were amazing! I've loved Styx for 22 years (and 9 months before that too. lol.) Seeing you guys play in person was inspiring and wonderful for me- the best night of my life! It's so cool how much time you take to let your fans know you care. I'm crazy about you guys and hope to catch another concert soon!

Jaclyn

Hi Lawrence! I am an author with Museituppublishing.com and have been trying to contact you. I would love to use 1:30 of your 'Moonlight Desires' song in my book trailer for a romance shedualed for release June/ 01/ 2011. I have tried through the record company and Styx manager for permission and info on how to do this and recieved no response. Any help you can give me would great. Love you, you rock! PS, my 10 yr old son loves "Moonlight Desires" %26 "Strange Animal".

Just saw you with Styx in Louisville, KY. Thanks for the show--music was great. What is the keyboard you use? I saw Yes with Wakeman Jr. this year, and he's still using a bank of different instruments like his dad did, but you have something there that does sound like EVERYTHING! I guess I should have known such an invention was possible, but it was a new experience for me to hear it.

I would prefer if bands scale back on the backdrop video a bit; Just a bit of video for each song, for greater effect. First rule of video editing: "kill your babies!" On the other hand, I could listen to keyboard and guitar solos all night. OK, I'm an old fart, I just think it distracts from the music if it's there all the time.

So talented. Styx picked the best, they knew what they were doing! Loved seeing you in ERIE tonight! I'm 19 but I'm Styx's biggest fan, i swear!!! :P

Go Gowan! Long may you rock!

Any Canadian dates? I've never seen Gowan live and would love to... it's on my bucket list. ;-)

I have been looking, without success, for the piano sheet music for "A Criminal Mind". It is one of my forever favourites. I am an adult-onset piano student, and very much want to learn to play this for myself. I appreciate any help in this direction. K

What are your Canadian dates out west? I saw you the last time you where in Victoria and I would definately come to see you in concert again.

GREAT concert tonight at Star Plaza in Merrillville, In. (Oct. 15th, 2010)
STYX was my sons 1st concert and he loved it!! Thanks for making it a great night for him!!!
I had a BLAST Also!!!

Gowan, my friend and I attended the Styx concerts on Sept.30th and October 1st,2010 at Fallsview. You guys were amazing. It seems like you guys really love performing for us. Can't wait to see you again....either solo or with Styx. From your fans...Margaret and Doreen.

What an awesome show last Friday night in Niagara Falls! If Saturday night had not been sold out, we would have been back for more! I've always loved your music Larry,(and LOVED the show in May here as well, thank you for that!) but now I am a Styx fan! You guys look like you are having the time of your lives up there playing together... and the music... WOW! Hope you come back to the area soon... in the meantime I'm enjoying my new DVD's.
Peace,
Sheryl

Hi Larry;
We were at the STYX concert on Oct 2nd at Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls. What an amazing show! As in the past, we thoroughly enjoyed it! We will continue to purchase tickets whenever you are playing 'local' (within a few hundred miles) to Belleville. Thanks again for your energetic, enthusiastic performance... Keep up the great work.

Hey Larry,

It was a pleasure to see you at the Meet %26 Greet. We spoke briefly when I mentioned that we had met once before 22 years earlier in a Scarborough hospital. 1988 was a good year.

Great show!

Take care,

Angela

Thank you Larry for making the show last night so memorable for hubby and I, great music, good times, you rock!

My friend and I will be attending the Fallsview concerts on September 30, 2010 and October 1, 2010. I hope that you and the band will have a great time playing for us. I am so excited....M.

It sure would be great to have a midi version of criminal mind to play....Anybody out there have one?

Saw you for the first time in Concert Sept 2,'10 in Duquoin....First ever Styx Concert and I have to say I am hooked!!! It was AMAZING!!! You rocked too!!!...I have to say I am a little behind on your work...but after researching and checking out video's and songs you have done I am a new fan!!! Which @ 41 I love finding what I call new music to me.... Illinois wants you to come back soon!!! ....A Criminal Mind is now a fav....andha it downloaded on my Blackberry....Listen to it @ work...which as a nurse not much time to listen....lol...but among all the chaos I love jamming to it!!
Your newest fan!!!!~ Jamie

HI Larry;
We are really looking forward to the concert on Oct 2nd. We were at the Strange Animal Tour on May 8th and were blown away. Your music and live concerts have been a part of our lives since the mid 80s - Keep it up! Maybe we'll get a chance to meet you this time :)

hey, just browsing and came upon the old videos and thought i'd check out where you were. i see you're in niagara falls, Canada this month and i wish i had known sooner so i could have scheduled my annual visit home this year and seen a show with Styx. Always have seen you solo since the first time at the Trafalgar Cafe in Buffalo back in the 80's. I went through a lot to get to that show but it was worth it and i will never forget it. Met you then and am still just as impressed as I was all those years ago. So, just saying hey, i still love you and thank you for the picture and autograph i still have.

Hey! It was so awesome meeting you in person this morning in Starbucks at Lenox Mall! I am a fan of your music! And I told my nephew all about you today during my break. :) He thinks it's cool that he has red hair just like you. You made my morning!

Dude, your tunes have been a part of my life since childhood. Growing up in Scarborough, I never believed that a genius such as you could have come from here. You are a major figure in popular music. Thanks for your dedication dude, you are a legend.

Larry you took my breath away today. I watched you with STYX for the first time and I was so blown away that I could not leave the TV not for even a second. Your love for music and your awesome personality took my heart away. I just moved to Portland Oregon. Have you and the guys ever toured here? Please keep in mind that Portland would love having you here. This is a very cool place. Thank you Larry for taking time out for one of your many fans.
Peace, Love, and Cheers to you....Karen
