Toby Hitchcock (who?? u cry!!! :shock:

) from Jim Peteriks(Ex Survivor) "Pride Of Lions"

I just got the DVD of the band live in Belgium... Toby is an awesome vocalist.... totally unknown before hooking up with Peterik. He is a natural... not Perry sounding.. but an immense range... in the "Lions" set they cover a couple Survivor songs... "I can't Hold Back" and "The Search Is Over" and he easily does a "Jimi Jamieson" on them.

Absolutely no over dubs on the DVD.. I sometimes mail Mr Peterik..and he mails back.. how cool is that?? and Toby did no overdubs at all. On the DVD is a "special" section.. that has Jim and Toby performing on a local broadcast station..with just acoustic gtr and voices...awesome.

Heres a link to the homepage...audio samples and vid clip..its a shame the vid clip isnt "live"

http://www.aprideoflions.com/

Only thing is..Toby looks just like he is an audience member who just jumped on stage...totally ordinary...but maybe thats a good thing?? I dunno

Anyway..please check him out... just for the sake of listening to a "class" singer if nothing else

I can just imagine the awesome songs he could sing in the Journey format..... :shock:

Watched the Sound of Home clip. Not bad at all. Kind of reminds me of Toto.

He sounds a bit like Dennis DeYoung on some of the higher parts. Good singer!

I picked up the audio to the DVD and must say I was quite impressed. You could hear him open up more as the show goes on too.

Life sucks when your pc illiterate.

I like Toby, great guy, great voice. But not a performer...yet. He's still young and he's not great on stage and I do think his voice - while powerful...lacks a little emotion. He'll get there!

He blows away anyone on the current edition of RockStar: SuperNova, that's for sure.
