Lead singer Kevin Cronin has shorn his massive mop and is sporting glasses these days, but fans of Cronin and his REO Speedwagon bandmates are no doubt happy to help him travel back to the “Hi Fidelity” days. The band’s massive summer tour includes a stop at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Tickets, $22-$45, include fair admission (www.evergreenfair.org).
