The Great Escape
Bio:
Don’t Stop Believin’ — because the ultimate Journey concert experience is alive and rocking harder than ever. Formed in 2008, The Great Escape delivers every monster hook, soaring harmony, and arena-sized solo from Journey’s golden era with terrifying accuracy and unstoppable energy.
Jason Paulino channels Steve Perry’s legendary voice and charisma so convincingly that crowds regularly ask if the real band snuck in the back door. Backed by Rich Vigdor’s note-for-note Neal Schon guitar heroics, Chris Brunelle’s signature keyboard/piano textures (and spot-on harmonies), plus the rock-solid foundation of Tony Clement on drums and Bob Wheeler on bass, this is the closest you’ll ever get to 1981 Frontier Tour Journey without a time machine.
Voted Best New England Tribute Band twice (2008 & 2013 Limelight Magazine Awards) and backed by a massive, multi-state fan base that grows with every show.
