Journey cover band Frontiers thrills Lancaster Festival crowd
Frontiers rocks Journey fans of all ages

LANCASTER -- The crowd that swayed around the bandstand at Ohio University-Lancaster was decidedly young -- too young to be fans of the music when it was first popular.

But as Frontiers, a Journey tribute band, did its best to entertain Wednesday night's Lancaster Festival crowd, it was hard to notice the overwhelming youth in attendance.

"(Journey's) music is popular again," said Gloriann Schmelzer, 15. "It's not country. It's not hard rock. It's just music you can listen to."

Schmelzer, a sophomore at Lancaster, was with a group of three other friends in the lawn listening to former Journey frontman Jeremey Hunsicker belt out the words to "Faithfully."

"It's classic rock," said Molly Mauger, 16. "They're good for everybody. Everyone likes them."

Frontier and Hunsicker, who toured with the original band in 2007, opened the show with "Separate Ways" before launching into "Only the Young," which brought the crowd -- young and old -- to their feet.

Lancaster residents Chris Towe and Diane Kistler weren't surprised to see the crowds of teenagers at OU-L on Wednesday night.

"A lot of the old hits are coming back," Towe said. "And with my own kids, it's because of 'Guitar Hero'. My kids listen to all kinds of crazy stuff."

Sean Snoke knows all about Journey. As a member of Fairfield Union's assembly singers, he performed "Don't Stop Believing," a song that, thanks to prominent play on television shows like "The Sopranos" and "Glee," has skyrocketed to the top of teenage playlists.

"I learned about Journey from friends," said Snoke, a Fairfield Union graduate. "And my dad listened to it. It's easy to listen to."

Austin Wallace, 17, and David Hartranft, 16, were surprised at how well Frontiers sounded. Hartranft attributed his familiarity with classic rock to the video game, "Guitar Hero," while Wallace said good music manages to stay alive, no matter when it was recorded.

"I'd say those songs are as popular, if not more popular, than some of the new music," Wallace said. "They're just good, classic songs that everybody knows."

You've got to be kidding me. Hey Joe Arnold, learn to get your facts straight before you decide you want to be a writer.

Wow....Anyone who can go to such lengths to find a small town newspaper article like that and post it here completely disregarding the point of the article for no other purpose than to cause drama here could certainly go to same said lengths to find the correction statement I posted on the newspaper correcting the reporter, whom I have never spoken to.

Good call, Ken. I'd send that dude an email if I were you.

Agreed......

I thought it's a very positive article. Obviously the writer made a few factual errors but you can't deny the fact that the people really enjoyed the show. The overwhelming youth attendance caught my attention and I thought that's pretty cool.

New York / New Jersey dates soon, Jeremey?
