When the Winds of Change Can Be a Rockin Good Thing!

TROUBLE, a Chicago based band, has been rockin’ the United Sates and parts of the world since 1979. Like many bands that have survived decades of music, TROUBLE has not been exempt from change. Changes in personal lives, artistic impression, approach to and attitudes towards their music and conducting band business can easily lead to the demise of a great band. But TROUBLE stood strong and survived.
TROUBLE has a fan base that is truer to their love for music than some people are to their own personal love relationships. Talk about loyalty! This was quite apparent when former lead singer Eric Wagner parted ways with the band. Of course, with a major change like that there were the usual hisses and grumblings from some fans, but that was expected.
