ABSOLUTE JOURNEY TRIBUTE is a live performing band that brings the essence of Journey to a live stage near you.
We perform Journey to the highest level of musicianship with outstanding vocals as sung by Riccardo Curzi (Steve Perry clone in both look and voice). The band complements him with amazing backing vocals and wows the audience with an exciting and energetic live performance.
The band brings a visually compelling live stage show, which includes backdrops, special effects and costume changes.
To say the least, after watching ABSOLUTE JOURNEY TRIBUTE, you will feel like you have left an actual Journey concert and that is our goal to leave a lasting impression to our audiences.
We went to see Absolute Journey while on a cruise March 10 and the show was great! If you closed your eyes you were swept back in time. The vocals were spot on and the instrumentalist were well prepared. My wife and I had the pleasure of speaking to a couple of the group after their performance and found that they are very dedicated and well grounded in their commitment to excellence. I would recommend them 100% and told them about Jazz Fest in New Orleans. I hope they can make it! Great Band!
Response from Absolute Journey Tribute:
Thanks very much for the kind words of appreciation, Jeff! We will look into trying and book the New Orleans Jazz Fest
Saw Absolute Journey Tribute performing in Ottawa/Gatineau on 2 Feb 2018. Mission accomplished. We had a good time and the songs are well delivered, perhaps a little to well executed, without the usual live performance intensity at times, which renders the act a little suspicious (recorded backup?) Guitarist Paul Mulley looks like Ritchie Blackmore playing Van Halen style so that was kindda off to me but overall good show!
Response from Absolute Journey Tribute:
Thanks for the review! We pride of the fact that our vocals are 100% live. Paul is the most amazing Neal Schon we ever had. He plays note by note and doesn't have to forcefully imitate the style of the original guitarist. He just has it in his blood and this quality makes him more natural and entertaining on stage than most guitar players. We're glad you had fun and hope to see you again at future shows!
