5 piece band: lead vocal, guitar, keyboard, bass, drums
EVOLUSION is a professional tribute band that takes you back to the era of “Arena Rock” and gives you two blockbuster bands on the same ticket! The performance is 100% live! Hailing from Upstate SC, with a name inspired by the fusion of Journey’s album Evolution and Styx’s album The Grand Illusion, EVOLUSION brings a high-energy experience with a meticulously crafted show faithfully recreating the iconic sounds of both Styx and Journey.
Lead vocalist Jimmy Stroud delivers the studio quality lead vocals of Steve Perry, Tommy Shaw, Dennis DeYoung and James “JY” Young. Guitarist/vocalist Andrew Magnuson adds backing vocals and masters the tasteful, melodic guitar licks of Neal Schon, Tommy Shaw and James “JY” Young. Keyboardist/vocalist Marc Juliano provides backing vocals, rhythm guitars and the keyboard mastery of Gregg Rolie, Jonathan Cain and Dennis DeYoung. Bassist/vocalist Tim Morelock supplies backing vocals and precision bass lines from Ross Valory, Randy Jackson and Chuck Panozzo. Drummer Tim Blackwell anchors the show with second to none percussion from Aynsley Dunbar and Steve Smith, as well as John Panozzo and Todd Sucherman (his fav).
An EVOLUSION show will leave you energized and wanting more…
Note: The show is typically Styx opening the show for Journey. However, the band can also do a “Styx only” show or a “Journey only” show at the request of the buyer/venue.
