Journey
Founded in 1973 in San Francisco, the legacy of Journey
has spanned nearly 30 years with 18 U.S. releases and 50,000,000 in album
sales. Their music is artful, intense, melodic rock played with passion
and superb musicianship.
Journey's initial style was progressive jazz-rock, a style much in evidence
on their first three albums. The switch to their signature highly sophisticated
rock occurred with the recording of their hugely successful album, "Infinity."
The band's next release, "Evolution," followed and brought the
band their first US Top 20 hit, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'."
"Captured" was a live double album that surprised many critics.
The album featured cranked-up guitars and raucous hard rock, eventually
peaking at #9 on the US album chart. Founding member Rolie departed after
its release, to be replaced by Jonathan Cain, who had previously played
with the Babys. Cain's arrival was an important landmark in Journey's
career, as his songwriting input added a new dimension to the band's sound.
The band's next release, "Escape," reached #1 and stayed in
the charts for more than a year. It also spawned three US Top 10 hit singles,
"Who's Crying Now," "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open
Arms." The follow-up, "Frontiers," was also massively successful,
staying at #2 on the Billboard album chart for nine weeks.
Valory and Smith departed the group prior to the release of 1986's "Raised
On Radio," which generated another US hit single, "Be Good To
Yourself." The band was joined in the studio and subsequent live
dates by bass players Randy Jackson and Bob Glaub, drummers, Mike Baird
and Nashville veteran Larrie Londin.
In 1996 Perry, Schon, Smith, Cain and Valory reunited to release "Trial
By Fire," which entered the US chart at number 3. The following year
Deen Castronovo (ex-Bad English) replaced Smith and vocalist Steve Augeri
(Tall Stories) replaced Perry after health problems sidelined the singer.
Vocalist, Steve Augeri first recorded with Journey for the band's 1998
contribution to the "Armageddon" soundtrack – "Remember
Me." The soundtrack, which hit #1 on the Billboard charts, was certified
triple platinum. The band's 18th release, "Arrival," debuted
in the spring of 2001 and the group launched their incredibly successful
56-city Arrival 2001 World Tour.
Throughout the summer of 2002, Journey again brought its live show around
the country during their Under The Radar Tour. It also gave the band an
opportunity to showcase music from their new EP, "Red13," to
their die-hard fans.
January 21, 2005 will forever be known as “Journey Day,” as
declared by Hollywood’s Mayor Johnny Grant. That’s the date
Journey - who has sold over 75 million albums worldwide making them the
29th best-selling music group of all time-were honored with a Star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not only was the entire current line-up in
attendance, but several band members from the past as well: drummers Steve
Smith and Aynsley Dunbar, guitarist George Tickner and singer Robert Fleischman.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of all—not only to the fans in attendance,
but to the band most of all—was the unexpected appearance of the
group’s legendary former frontman Steve Perry, who had not been
seen anywhere with the band since his departure in 1996 after Trial by
Fire was released and earned the band’s first Grammy® Award
nomination for “When You Love A Woman.”
For Journey, transformation and renewal are an integral part of the creative
force that has led the band on their remarkable "journey." Journey's
touring and performing continues to delight audiences across the country
and around the globe.
