“I have been an admirer of Don Felder’s unique gifts as a guitar player for decades,” says founding Styx member James “JY” Young. “Finally meeting him and having him on the same bill as us in 2014 was great fun. He’s like a long lost brother to me.”
Felder adds, “I’m so excited to be sharing the stage at The Venetian with my good friends Styx. This is going to be one ‘rocking’ ‘rocking’ city in the U.S.”
