Steve Perry Returns to Journey!?

That is the dream of every Journey fan: to witness the amazing lineup that dominated arenas worldwide in the late ’70s, ’80s, and mid-’90s.

Journey Tribute, ‘Never Stop Believin’,’ makes that dream come true!

This is the ONLY Journey show on the planet that pays tribute to the look and sound of Journey from the ’70s and ’80s! The show starts out like witnessing Journey play the ‘Evolution’ and ‘Departure’ albums in 1978, then jumps to the mid-’80s look with a costume change mid-show, and you are experiencing the ‘Escape – Frontiers’ albums tour!

‘Never Stop Believin” is fronted by the incredible vocals and presence of an amazing vocalist who looks and sounds just like Steve Perry! Plus, the band plays the songs note for note with four-part live vocal harmony!

Imagine if Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond toured together in their prime. The incredible Jonathan Elgart portrays his childhood heroes, and you will be amazed as he sounds just like each artist.
