Frontiers


We went to the House of Blues about 25 minutes before show time. We were there to see Frontiers, A Journey tribute band. I give the performance 5 out of 5 stars. The HoB obviously spent a lot of money to make this place look like a dive club, but it was well worth it. The atmosphere was perfect, the only downside were the $4.00 canned beers.


Frontiers themselves were incredible. How they managed to find a guy that sounds exactly like Steve Perry, I have no clue, but he was perfect. The room had plenty of space for standing around in General Admission ($10.00 per ticket). Marty O and I once discussed hiring these guys for a party behind his uncle's house on Harbor Av. I now gotta believe that if we'd have gone through with our plan we may have been elected Co-City Managers, possibly even Co-Emperors.


They played from 9pm to midnight with one 15-20 minute break. Name the Journey hit and they played it...perfectly. They even did a cover Steve Perry's solo hit, "Oh Sherrie."

I am planning a trip back to see The Stone Ponys Band, a Springstreet Tribute on June 23. Let me know if you are interested.
