Resurrection: The Journey Tribute

Since 2014, Resurrection has built a reputation as the gold standard by which other Journey tributes are measured, playing in nearly 40 of the 50 states in the United States. At the end of 2022, the band found itself in need of a new vocalist to handle the frontman duties and deliver the high notes originally belted out by Steve Perry.. After auditioning vocalists from all over the country, Resurrection performed on it’s home turf in Nashville to give eight singers the opportunity to divide up the evening’s set list and perform for the sellout crowd. By the end of the night, fan sentiment was clear that one man had the power, the pipes, and the passion to do the Journey catalogue justice. That man is Bryan Cole.

Only two weeks later, Bryan took to the stage and faced a room full of fans at The Maryland Theatre to deliver a nearly two hour show of Journey material. Resurrection launched into the opener, “Any Way You Want It.” Vic White addressed the crowd to acknowledge the band’s change of vocalist and to introduce Bryan. The audience welcomed Bryan into the Resurrection family with open arms, and Resurrection’s torch landed in the capable hands of Bryan Cole. Still they ride. The strong will survive. Journey on!
