Lawrence Henry Gowan (also known simply as Gowan) was born on this day in 1956, in Glasgow, Scotland. His parents moved to Canada when he was quite young so he grew up there and it seems he has become something of a favourite son. He had a successful solo career, scooping a couple of Junoâs among 12 nominations and receiving plenty more accolades besides.
The eighties and the then boom of the music video really loved him (and his mullet, which he now jokes about himself, so Iâm not just being mean, lol!), however, I have already inflicted his highest charting single, âMoonlight Desiresâ, (complete with mullet) upon this board once before so will refrain from doing so again!
Heâs a classically trained pianist and vocalist, and has been a member of Styx since 1999. Heâd performed as a supporting act for them in 1997 and when Dennis DeYoung left the band, Tommy Shaw offered him the vacant spot and a 53 date tour. Seems as though itâs a good fit and Styx now regularly performs one of this other big solo hits, âA Criminal Mindâ â¦
