SHANE TASSERT has the look and the sound of classic Steve Perry with extraordinary attention to detail and takes us all back in time to those special songs from Journey that we all fell in love with from the good ole days. Shane takes his craft extremely seriously, warming up for hours before each show, but the results speak for themselves as he sings every high note every time, even in multiple-set evenings.
JEFF ELLIS, LA Music Awards and All Access Magazine Best Rock Guitarist Of The Year and singer/writer/guitarist of The Cauze. Fans are in awe of his showmanship on stage, tone, and playing Neal Schon note for note. Jeff is a fantastic singer and brings us back to the Gregg Rolie days as he belts out favorites such as “Anytime” and “Feeling That Way”. One of the highlights of every ESCAPE show is Jeff’s jaw-dropping rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, a guitar solo that Neal Schon has also been known to perform for decades.
