Jeremey Hunsicker -- Different Guy, Same Ol' Sound..

When Journey was in need of searching for a new lead singer once again, they looked everywhere. Jeremey Hunsicker was one of those people, but due to personal issues declined the job. Hunsicker is from Virginia and is the lead singer of the popular Journey cover band "Frontiers", although he and his band may not sell out arenas and stadiums, they enjoy what they do. People are shocked when he sings these Journey songs simply because he sounds a lot like "the voice" himself, Steve Perry.

When Hunsicker was approached by Journey Keyboardist and Journey Guitarist Neal Schon, he was asked to come to California to rehearse and write a few songs, but with a son on the way and a busy life, the timing just wasn't right. If one were to put a mark on where Hunsicker ranks amongst all of the Journey singers, he'd have to be a close second to Perry himself. Now all of these singers that Journey are bringing in to fulfill the role of lead vocalist might be a bad move in the eyes of some people, but there isn't going to be another Steve Perry. None of these singers want to be Steve Perry, they simply want to continue a legacy that has brought people together with tunes such as "Open Arms", "Faithfully", and "Don't Stop Believin'". The bar is set high when a replacement singer steps on stage to sing songs that have already been written, but Journey knows more than anyone else that it's something that must be done.

Hunsicker and his band "Frontiers" are currently touring around the USA, if you are interested in checking out tour dates and more information about the band, you may visit their website at http://www.journeytributeband.com/ . Journey has set their tour dates as well with their new lead singer Arnel Pineda, this is another guy who can belt out Journey classics without a problem.

When I was checking out YouTube, I looked up the different tribute bands and most of them are simply amazing, but Frontiers is by far the best I have heard. When I heard Hunsicker sing, it's like I am listening to Steve Perry himself, the role that this guy has portrayed is simply astounding, I seriously couldn't believe my ears. Below I have posted a few videos from YouTube. You can watch and see for yourself how great this guy really is. It is too bad that he couldn't join Journey, but I know they will do just fine with Arnel Pineda, he is a great vocalist as well.
