(NEWTON, NJ) -- Foreigners Journey featuring American Idol finalist, Rudy Cardenas on lead vocals, will perform at The Newton Theatre on Friday, March 29, 2024 at 8:00pm. It's the music and energy of two legendary stadium rock bands comes together in one electrifying show!
Almost any music fan who came of age in the 1980s will cite Foreigner and Journey as bands that sound tracked their young life, bands that are forever lodged in their mind. Back then, the two acts might have been separated by an ocean, but together they helped define the "magic era" of classic rock.
At one point not too long ago, they toured the world as a one-two combination, but don't count on it happening again. Luckily, you can count on Foreigners Journey, a veritable tribute-band supergroup, to deliver the unforgettable experience of seeing both bands in one knockout show. Foreigners Journey comprises veteran members of the music scene, guys who've made it with their own original music. But since 2014 they've also dedicated themselves to something larger, a supergroup intent on bringing the sounds, sights, and emotional thrills of two of rock ‘n' roll's greatest bands to eager fans around the Northeast and beyond.
Along with Rudy Cardenas, the band includes Keyboardist Paul Kochanski, Bassist Joe Pettengill and Drummer Art Mambuca (and his sprawling double kick-drum kit) who all played together in the Journey tribute band Captured. And, rounding out the band is hotshot Guitarist Kevin Alexander Herrera and Adam Tese on Saxophone.
Tickets range from $39-$49 and are available for purchase online starting Friday, January 5 at 10:00am.
Their repertoire of classics hits by Foreigner and Journey and a few surprises provides a crowd-pleasing night of unforgettable music. From power ballads like "Waiting for a Girl Like You," "I Want to Know What Love Is," and "Faithfully" to anthems like "Jukebox Hero," “Stone In Love,” “Cold As Ice,” "Don't Stop Believin'," and "Separate Ways," Foreigners Journey are more than a tribute band. They're a time machine, and their energy is infectious.
