July 30th Bon Journeyed - The ultimate Bon Jovi and Journey experience brought to you by Chicagoland music veterans and lifelong friends Tyler Holcomb and Matthew Pablecas. Tyler, known for his work with ARRA, and Matthew, the dynamic force behind Oh Yes!, have been friends for over 30 years. Their shared passion for rock 'n' roll has culminated in this extraordinary tribute. Tyler's uncanny vocal resemblance to Steve Perry and Matt's striking similarity to Bon Jovi form the heart of Journey Jovi's electrifying performances. Together, they deliver an unforgettable show that transports audiences back to the golden age of rock. The band's lineup is a powerhouse of talent, featuring Marty Craven on guitar, Joe "Powder" Lynch on drums, Brian Sheridan on bass, and Robert “Doc” Watson on keys. Each member brings a wealth of experience and a deep love for the music, ensuring that every note played is true to the spirit of the originals. Bon Journeyed isn't just a band; it's a musical journey through some of the most iconic rock anthems of all time. From the soaring highs of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" to the anthemic power of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer," Bon Journeyed delivers a high-energy, authentic rock experience that leaves audiences craving more. Join us for a night of timeless classics and unforgettable performances with the best of both worlds...
