REO believes in Santa Claus

It's been more than two decades since they wowed us with Hi Infidelity, but REO Speedwagon isn't done giving back to its fans.

Kevincronin On its official website, the band has a Christmas message and a free download of their new single, "I Believe in Santa Claus." A free single -- that's a great idea for bands to hand out to fans. As for the song itself, Kevin Cronin's voice still sounds great after all these years. And if you're living near Agoura Hills, Calif., you can see REO play live on Dec. 30 and 31 at The Canyon Club.
