Dennis DeYoung, former singer and songwriter of Chicago-based rock group Styx, will perform at The Orleans Showroom March 13 and 14 at 8 p.m.

DeYoung, performing along with his five-piece band, will produce a unique rock experience with a new power, feeling and edge to such classics as "Lady," "Babe," "Come Sail Away," "Mr. Roboto," and "Don't Let It End," along with solo works and new music.

DeYoung was 14 years old when he and his brothers founded Styx, the Chicago-based rock band, in 1962 in the basement of their childhood home. Selling more than 35 million albums worldwide, DeYoung has written eight of Styx's top 10 singles. For more than four decades, DeYoung has been a successful singer, songwriter, keyboardist and record producer. Recording seven solo albums -- including Desert Moon, whose title track achieved Top 10 status -- DeYoung continues to tour with his band around the world.

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, DreamWork's Old School starring Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn, Comedy Central's South Park, ABC's Still Standing and CBS' The King of Queens.
