As Journey super fans, this five-piece powerhouse vocal quintet perfectly captures the supergroup’s legendary music and style.

As one music critic said, “Odyssey Road is one of the best tribute bands I’ve ever heard. Hands down! They don’t look like Journey, but they have the sound and arrangements nailed down tight… they cover hours of pure Journey without a noticeable flaw.”
