Head East
Head East is an American rock band from Illinois. The band was formed by singer John Schlitt, guitarist Danny Piper, keyboardist Roger Boyd, bassist Larry Boyd, and drummer Steve Huston. They met and formed the band while Schmitt, Piper, and Boyd were studying at the University of Illinois and Huston was at Eastern Illinois University. Boyd is the only remaining original member. Piper left the group in 1972, Boyd left in 1974, Schlitt took a break for part of 1973–74 before leaving in 1980, and Huston took a break for part of 1973–74 before leaving in 1983. Mike Somerville (guitar) and Dan Birney (bass) replaced Piper and Boyd during the band's 1970s heyday, while the entire lineup (except Boyd) has gone through numerous changes since the 1980s. The band's biggest hit was "Never Been Any Reason", released in 1975.
