0AFrontiers | A Tribute to Journey is the world's premiere tribute to the 8=
0's rock pioneers. Yes, that Journey – the ones responsible for selling ove=
r 75 million records, including some of rock's most venerable anthems - the=
 Journey rebuffed by critics and the musical establishment, even as those v=
ery critics secretly kept “Don’t Stop Believin’” in their Walkmans and save=
d a special place for “Faithfully” in their mix tape collection. No one rul=
ed the road from 1979- 1983 like Journey. Twenty-five years after that icon=
ic lineup last graced the stage, Frontiers has carried on the banner of sep=
arate 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 the=
 "real deal." When Frontiers formed in 2002, lead vocalist Jeremey Hunsicke=
r had little motivation other than to enjoy time in front of audiences sing=
ing 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, h=
e felt it was time to settle down in his career as a shipping sales executi=
ve, start a family, and make music an enjoyable side project. =0D=0A=0D=0AF=
ate would play a different hand, however. In early 2007, Journey (yes, that=
 Journey) found themselves at a critical crossroad. Do they abandon their s=
ignature sound, forged by iconic vocalist Steve Perry - the soundtrack of m=
illions of sweaty backseat hookups in the 80s, and rediscovered by the yout=
h of the new millennium? New vocalist Jeff Scott Soto - a heavy sounding te=
nor with a vocal character miles from the Perry signature - had barely shak=
en the road dust from his shoes before the band decided it was time once ag=
ain to embrace the "legacy sound." This time their journey would lead them =
to YouTube, and keyboardist Jonathan Cain's daughter would lead him to Fron=
tiers vocalist Jeremey Hunsicker.=0D=0A=0D=0AIn late May 2007, Jonathan Cai=
n phoned Hunsicker, and explained the band’s situation. “They think I’m cra=
zy,” he explained to Hunsicker, “But the way you perform those songs is ins=
piring.” Cain managed to convince a skeptical Neal Schon to take a last min=
ute crosscountry flight to Charlotte, NC, where Frontiers would perform a f=
estival in front of over 5,000 people. For Hunsicker, there would be only t=
wo people in the crowd that mattered. By the end of the performance, Schon’=
s skepticism was erased, and at dinner later that night, the three would ma=
ke plans to meet again in San Francisco, perform for the band’s management =
(ubermogul Irving Azoff), and begin writing a few trial songs for a new Jou=
rney record.=0D=0A=0D=0AWhat followed was a roller coaster ride none could =
have predicted, with Hunsicker and his seven-month pregnant wife flying to =
San Francisco. The band rehearsed and wrote new music, broke bread together=
, and made plans for an upcoming tour in 2008. Hunsicker would return to Vi=
rginia that summer, offer in hand, as the new vocalist of Journey. It was a=
n offer he had never independently pursued, and one that – despite the prom=
ise of fortune and some degree of fame – did not come without a price. With=
 the birth of his first child only weeks away, and the demand of a years wo=
rth of touring over his head, ultimately Hunsicker stepped away from the si=
tuation. “There were a few red flags,” said Hunsicker. “I always told mysel=
f that if it was meant to be, it would happen. When it didn’t fall into tha=
t perfect fit, I thought maybe someone was trying to tell me something.”=0D=
=0A=0D=0ABut his time with Journey would prove prosperous nonetheless. One =
of the songs co-written with Journey would be the lead single off of Journe=
y’s new Wal Mart record, “Revelation.” He maintained contact with Journey, =
and began to see additional writing opportunities with other artists. With =
burgeoning interest in Hunsicker’s story and the trickle-down effect it soo=
n had on Frontiers’ booking schedule, there was a clear opportunity to take=
 the tribute act full time. In June of 2008, Hunsicker stepped away from th=
e daily grind of corporate America to live his dream of being a professiona=
l musician and entertainer – without the weight of that omnipresent Journey=
 legacy on his shoulders.=0D=0A=0D=0ARounding out the touring production of=
 Frontiers would be guitarist Kenny Seay, original Frontiers bassist Greg E=
anes, Ron Haynes on drums, and double-threat Isaiah Osbourne on keyboards a=
nd rhythm guitar. Each musician made a full time commitment to the music, a=
nd it shows in every performance. Perhaps no other tribute so closely repli=
cates not only the music of the original band – But also that band’s spirit=
 of originality and improvisation…The key to what made Journey without equa=
l when they walked out on stage every night.=0D=0A=0D=0AJourney founding gu=
itarist Neal Schon would reflect on Hunsicker’s brief flirtation with stard=
om in an interview in June 2008. “Jeremey Hunsicker…He was very good… but h=
e was a bit scary because he was almost too much like Perry. He was almost =
like a duplicate, probably the closest of anyone out there.” Perhaps not th=
e best fit to step into the shoes of a legend. But a ringing endorsement fo=
r a tribute singer who was able to find happiness doing what he loves on hi=
s own terms. =0D=0A=0D=0ADoors open at 8PM=0D=0AShow starts at 10PM=0D=0A=0=
