D=0AFrontiers | A Tribute to Journey is the world's premiere tribute to the=
 80's rock pioneers. Yes, that Journey – the ones responsible for selling o=
ver 75 million records, including some of rock's most venerable anthems - t=
he Journey rebuffed by critics and the musical establishment, even as those=
 very critics secretly kept “Don’t Stop Believin’” in their Walkmans and sa=
ved a special place for “Faithfully” in their mix tape collection. No one r=
uled the road from 1979- 1983 like Journey. Twenty-five years after that ic=
onic lineup last graced the stage, Frontiers has carried on the banner of s=
eparate ways, summer lovin’, and open arms. As a tribute act, few - if any =
- have such a colorful back-story that blurs the line between tribute and t=
he "real deal." When Frontiers formed in 2002, lead vocalist Jeremey Hunsic=
ker had little motivation other than to enjoy time in front of audiences si=
nging the songs that he was born to sing. The lure of fame and fortune was =
an idle of youth, and as Hunsicker crossed the threshold into his thirties,=
 he felt it was time to settle down in his career as a shipping sales execu=
tive, start a family, and make music an enjoyable side project. =0D=0A=0D=0=
AFate would play a different hand, however. In early 2007, Journey (yes, th=
at Journey) found themselves at a critical crossroad. Do they abandon their=
 signature sound, forged by iconic vocalist Steve Perry - the soundtrack of=
 millions of sweaty backseat hookups in the 80s, and rediscovered by the yo=
uth of the new millennium? New vocalist Jeff Scott Soto - a heavy sounding =
tenor with a vocal character miles from the Perry signature - had barely sh=
aken the road dust from his shoes before the band decided it was time once =
again to embrace the "legacy sound." This time their journey would lead the=
m to YouTube, and keyboardist Jonathan Cain's daughter would lead him to Fr=
ontiers vocalist Jeremey Hunsicker.=0D=0A=0D=0AIn late May 2007, Jonathan C=
ain phoned Hunsicker, and explained the band’s situation. “They think I’m c=
razy,” he explained to Hunsicker, “But the way you perform those songs is i=
nspiring.” Cain managed to convince a skeptical Neal Schon to take a last m=
inute crosscountry flight to Charlotte, NC, where Frontiers would perform a=
 festival in front of over 5,000 people. For Hunsicker, there would be only=
 two people in the crowd that mattered. By the end of the performance, Scho=
n’s skepticism was erased, and at dinner later that night, the three would =
make plans to meet again in San Francisco, perform for the band’s managemen=
t (ubermogul Irving Azoff), and begin writing a few trial songs for a new J=
ourney record.=0D=0A=0D=0AWhat followed was a roller coaster ride none coul=
d have predicted, with Hunsicker and his seven-month pregnant wife flying t=
o San Francisco. The band rehearsed and wrote new music, broke bread togeth=
er, and made plans for an upcoming tour in 2008. Hunsicker would return to =
Virginia that summer, offer in hand, as the new vocalist of Journey. It was=
 an offer he had never independently pursued, and one that – despite the pr=
omise of fortune and some degree of fame – did not come without a price. Wi=
th the birth of his first child only weeks away, and the demand of a years =
worth of touring over his head, ultimately Hunsicker stepped away from the =
situation. “There were a few red flags,” said Hunsicker. “I always told mys=
elf that if it was meant to be, it would happen. When it didn’t fall into t=
hat perfect fit, I thought maybe someone was trying to tell me something.”==
0D=0A=0D=0ABut his time with Journey would prove prosperous nonetheless. On=
e of the songs co-written with Journey would be the lead single off of Jour=
ney’s new Wal Mart record, “Revelation.” He maintained contact with Journey=
, and began to see additional writing opportunities with other artists. Wit=
h burgeoning interest in Hunsicker’s story and the trickle-down effect it s=
oon had on Frontiers’ booking schedule, there was a clear opportunity to ta=
ke the tribute act full time. In June of 2008, Hunsicker stepped away from =
the daily grind of corporate America to live his dream of being a professio=
nal musician and entertainer – without the weight of that omnipresent Journ=
ey legacy on his shoulders.=0D=0A=0D=0ARounding out the touring production =
of Frontiers would be guitarist Kenny Seay, original Frontiers bassist Greg=
 Eanes, Ron Haynes on drums, and double-threat Isaiah Osbourne on keyboards=
 and rhythm guitar. Each musician made a full time commitment to the music,=
 and it shows in every performance. Perhaps no other tribute so closely rep=
licates not only the music of the original band – But also that band’s spir=
it of originality and improvisation…The key to what made Journey without eq=
ual when they walked out on stage every night.=0D=0A=0D=0AJourney founding =
guitarist Neal Schon would reflect on Hunsicker’s brief flirtation with sta=
rdom in an interview in June 2008. “Jeremey Hunsicker…He was very good… but=
 he was a bit scary because he was almost too much like Perry. He was almos=
t like a duplicate, probably the closest of anyone out there.” Perhaps not =
the best fit to step into the shoes of a legend. But a ringing endorsement =
for a tribute singer who was able to find happiness doing what he loves on =
his own terms. =0D=0A=0D=0ADoors open at 8PM=0D=0AShow starts at 10PM=0D=0A=
