Frontiers | A Tribute to Journey is the world’s premiere tribute to the 80’s rock pioneers. Yes, that Journey - the ones responsible for selling over 75 million records, including some of rock’s most venerable anthems - the Journey rebuffed by critics and the musical establishment, even as those very critics secretly kept "Don’t Stop Believin’" in their Walkmans and saved a special place for "Faithfully" in their mix tape collection. No one ruled the road from 1979- 1983 like Journey. Twenty-five years after that iconic lineup last graced the stage, Frontiers has carried on the banner of separate 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 Hunsicker had little motivation other than to enjoy time in front of audiences singing 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 executive, start a family, and make music an enjoyable side project
