The music of Journey — the 1970s and 1980s group that, with lead singer Steve Perry at the helm, churned out hits such as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Foolish Heart,” “Oh Sherrie,” “Open Arms” and more — will be ringing loud and clear in Gloucester this Memorial Day weekend.
A performance called Captured — The Journey Show, featuring a Boston-based Journey tribute band, will be playing Saturday night at The Gloucester House, with tickets priced at $10 and doors set to open for the show at 8 p.m.
Unlike other tribute acts, Captured — the Journey Show isn’t merely pegged as a tribute band.
The show is billed as one of the country’s premier tributes to Steve Perry and Journey, covering all of the hits from the late 1970s though the 1990s, including some rare cuts. But the performers view themselves as a “cast,” with John Robert Murphy playing the role of Perry, who was Journey’s front man before deciding and announcing in 1987 that he was “toast” and that it was time to leave the group. Journey has reformed and carried on — without Perry — and is once again touring more than two decades later.
