Imagine, attending a live musical event, listening to the sounds emanating from the stage and hearing a song from your childhood or simply a favorite tune from your past. Focusing your eyes on the musicians, you are first surprised, then shocked to not see the original
artist but - The ROCKSHOW. You will never come any closer to the original artist as this showstopper is receiving rave reviews touring across the country. . .

Close your eyes and you will think it's the real deal! Michael Hawkes (guitar/vocals), Bruce Shew (bass/vocals) and Chris Bartnikowski (drums/vocals) round out the Journey complement.
