January 27, 2017Best 80s cover band I've seen in SD!
Killer show, didn't expect them to be so dynamic AND talented. Friend invited me to their concert (we love cover bands), they were incredibly accurate and without my eyes open, I couldn't tell the difference between them and the bands they covered. I hope to catch them again.

April 15, 2014Amazing Show! Total Professionals!
Saw these guys at the House of Blues in San Diego on March 1st, they totally blew the competition away. Every song sounded almost identical to the way I remember them sounding off the radio or albums. Journey, Styx, Foreigner, Boston, Kansas, Def Leopard...the list goes on and on. ARENA ROCK MUSIC doesn't get much better than this.

All band members and support staff are drug free. We are from San Diego, California and enjoy travel to provide the best entertainment experience for our clients.
The band has been together for three years, previously forming as a Journey Tribute Band before the members found the tribute to the era of stadium and arena rock music was more rewarding than anything they had previously done, and allowed them to provide a entertainment experience unparalleled and unique, involving and rockin' the audience!
