"The next best thing to actually seeing Steve Perry and the boys, is going to an Evolution show. It�s 2 hours of Journey hits. As good as the real thing.� So says Charlie Walk, President of Epic Records. He should know as Epic was Journey�s record label back in the day when hits such as "Don't Stop Believing," "Any Way You Want It," "Faithfully," "Open Arms," "Separate Ways" and "Wheel in the Sky" were big. And if you�re one of those people who knows all of the subtle nuances of one of rock�s best opening keyboard riffs as found in the song �Don�t Stop Believing� you�re going to want to see the Journey Tribute Band: Evolution at The Ridgefield Playhouse for Movies and the Performing Arts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, August 16.

With lead singer Hugo, a dead ringer for Steve Perry, both visually and vocally, fronting, the band of veteran musicians from New York is the closest there is to the early to mid 1980s live-up of Journey live. Journey released their eighth and biggest-selling studio album, �Escape� in 1981. The album, which would ultimately sell nine times platinum, went to number one on the album charts that year, and included three top-ten hits: �Who�s Crying Now,� �Don�t Stop Believing� and �Open Arms.�
