Journeyman, the only nationally touring tribute band to Eric Clapton comes to The Suffolk on Friday, April 19, at 8 p.m.

Fronted by Shaun Hague on lead guitar and vocals, Journeyman has become the top tribute band to Clapton in a very short amount of time. With over 50 years of music to choose from, Journeyman covers it all — “Layla,” “Badge,” “The Core,” “White Room,” “Lay Down Sally,” “Tulsa Time,” “Cocaine” and countless others.

Hague has built quite the resume in the last decade of his life. At just 17, he was named “The Best Young Blues Guitarist” by The House of Blues and by 21, the young guitarist was playing guitar for blues phenom Kenny Wayne Shepherd. His career has also seen him sharing the stage with Amos Lee, John Waite, Terra Naomi, performing on Jay Leno and sitting in with John Fogerty.

Robert Monroe (keyboard and vocals) is the founding member of Journeyman and a versatile performer of blues, gospel, Latin, jazz and classical. He is a Hammond artist and a highly sought after freelancer in the Chicagoland area. Monroe is a regular performer with Elan Artists, Simply the Best, a Tribute to Tina Turner, Andrew Blake Band and many others.

Darius Peterson (drums) has been a fixture on the Chicago music scene as a professional for over 25 years. He began playing at age three, and has had the opportunity to share stages with many notable artists. Well versed in the gospel, R&B, pop, and rock genres, Peterson continues to contribute to the music scene, not only in Chicago, but all across the country.

Dina Bach (vocals and percussion), Chicago-based singer-songwriter and recording artist, has been building an original music career for over a decade, with music airing on Big 95.5, WGN Radio, NPR’s WNIJ, Radio One Chicago, and Radio Sobro Nashville. To add to these original musical accomplishments, she was also asked to sing the National Anthem for her home-town Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. With a genuinely charismatic and glowing personality live and off stage, her warm vocals and evocative lyrics create a sound that is both original and approachable. When she is not touring with Journeyman, she is performing throughout the Midwest, writing music in Nashville and releasing original recordings.

Brandon Stephens (bass) is an accomplished bassist, producer and professional musician with over 10 years of experience in the music industry. His style is heavily influenced by the greats in the bass world, including Marcus Miller, James Jamerson, and Sharay Reed. Stephens was born and raised in Chicago, where he continues to reside and be an active member of the music community. He has a passion for all genres of music, and his work showcases his ability to seamlessly blend various styles and create something truly unique. With his exceptional talent and unwavering dedication to his craft, Stephens is a rising star in the music industry.

Tickets are $39 to $59 at thesuffolk.org. The Suffolk is at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
