‘TIMELESS JOURNEY’...

...is the newest Journey Tribute
Powerhouse to hit the California music scene.
It consists of some of the most experienced musicians
in the Los Angeles area, dedicated to playing all of Journey’s
top hits with a musical production that is second to none.

Fronted by lead vocalist Franky Dee, this five piece band
mastered the audiovisual reproduction of Journey’s live concerts.
Take a vocal range able to hit the highest notes that
Steve Perry made famous, add a three-part backing harmony
paired up with a strong instrumental section, and a drummer with the power
of a machine gun to round out the backbone of the band, and you get...

...'TIMELESS JOURNEY'

Franky Dee - lead vocals:
Originally from New York, he spent a few years rockin’ Florida,  where he recorded his first CD and music video. He then went on a six month tour opening for Iron Maiden in England, as well as Night Ranger, Blue Oyster Cult, and many other national acts here in the United States.  “We were ready to get signed with A&M Records, but the band broke up”.  (My almost famous story...lol) 
Now living in L.A. he just released his 2nd CD entitled 'If I Had A Fortune'.  With some help from friends, Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit, who did a Killer Rap on his song ‘Sexy Dancer’, he wrote, arranged, and produced all of his original songs as well as sang all lead and harmony vocals. All of his music can be found at CDBABY.COM, as well as iTunes and all Digital Download Sites.  Franky has also been a Vocal Coach for many years and is now the front-man of ‘Timeless Journey’, as his voice is very reminiscent of the classic Steve Perry tone.
