Legendary STYX Vocalist Dennis DeYoung to
Perform with VSO Pops April 28
Former STYX Lead Singer Recreates 30 Years of Musical History,
Backed by Full Orchestra
Hampton Roads… The Virginia Symphony Pops
closes the 2011-2012 season with a symphonic
rock experience, combining the impact of a full
orchestra with the edge of a rock band. Former
STYX lead vocalist Dennis DeYoung has one of
the most recognizable voices in the music
world, and he will take center stage with the
VSO Pops for a journey through the 70s, 80s
and 90s with classic hits such as “Lady,” “Babe,”
“Come Sail Away,” “Mr. Roboto,” “Grand
Illusion,” “Lorelei,” “Suite Madame Blue,”
“Rockin’ The Paradise,” “Don’t Let it End,” plus
many more, including solo works and new
music.
In recent years, DeYoung’s songs have
appeared in movies and television shows, including: Sofia Coppola’s Virgin Suicides; Adam
Sandler’s Big Daddy and 8 Crazy Nights; New Line Cinema’s Detroit Rock City; DreamWorks’ Old
School starring Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn; Comedy Central’s South Park, NBC’s ED and ER;

ABC’s Still Standing and CBS’ The King of Queens. Volkswagen turned “Mr. Roboto” into a funny
national commercial featuring two Wayne’s World-type guys “jamming” to the song.
Recently, DeYoung wrote and recorded a song for his wife Suzanne’s soon to be published book
A Love Foretold. The book, accompanied by the new release, is currently available at
www.DennisDeYoung.com and will be available for purchase at Chrysler Hall on the night of the
concert.
The performance is Saturday, April 28, at 8:00 PM, Chrysler Hall in Norfolk.
Tickets begin at only $20. To order, call Symphony Patron Services, 757-892-6366 or visit
