Frontiers, a Journey tribute band, performs May 11 at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center.
If you were teenager in the late 1970s or early ’80s, there’s a very good chance that an 8-track or cassette tape of a Journey album was in constant replay on your first car’s stereo.
For those craving a taste of the good old days, the band Frontiers is the next best thing. Though they may not have Steve Perry as their front man, Frontiers has been hailed by fans and critics alike as the best Journey tribute band in the world. That’s saying something and East End Journey aficionados who want to find out for themselves if it’s true can head to Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center on Saturday, May 11, to hear the band performing Journey’s music live and with chilling accuracy.
Reviewers say that Elaine Tuttle is an absolute dead ringer for Steve Perry, vocally speaking. A professional singer and vocal coach, Ms. Tuttle performs in no fewer than 14 different ensembles in New York, New Jersey and New Orleans. In recent years, she headlined in New York with Girls Girls Girls (an all-female Motley Crue tribute band) at Gramercy Theatre and performed with her Dio-era Black Sabbath tribute band, Bible Black at Slake concert hall for the Global Black Sabbath Convention. A vocalist who sings classical, ethnic, metal, hard rock, blues, jazz, pop and r&b, she has also performed several times at Carnegie Hall.
The other members of Frontiers are New York musicians Damon Marks (guitar, vocals), Tom DeMicco (keyboardist, vocals) Marc Windler (bass, vocals) and Gerry Fortus (drums).
So if you’re in the mood for a little Journey, “anyway you want it” Frontiers will take you back to the music of your youth … just “don’t stop believing.”
Frontiers performs at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, 76 Main Street, Westhampton Beach. Tickets, $49 at whbpac.org or 631-288-1500.
