Saw you at Kennesaw Mountain Fest. We loved it!

We saw Departure in Gatlinburg. They totally rock!!! Awesome show!

I’ve seen y’all 4 times now and you get better like fine wine! You always put on a great show!! Please don’t ever stop!

Absolutely Mind Blowing rendition. Come back to Daryl’s House as fast as you can!!

We attended their concert tonight in Albany, Georgia and it was FANTASTIC. I’ve been to a lot of concerts over the decades and I can honestly say this is right up there with the top bands of all time. Even better than most of them. I will certainly get tickets to see them again. An incredible talented group of men. If they come to your area, you should make a point to see them.

It was an awesome concert! Journey was our favorite group and Departure delivered a great tribute to them.

What an amazing awesome epic performance!!! Second time seeing them at Daryl’s house and def won’t be my last!!! Brian’s vocals are beyond compare.. the way he sounds just as good 90 minutes after his first song is mind blowing!! The band is one of the best I’ve seen… just fabulous!!! GO SEE THEM FOR YOURSELF!!!!

I saw y’all for the first time at Southern Roots December 2019. I was truly blown away! I love you guys so much!! I think tonight was my 6th time seeing y’all. I hope to see y’all again and again.

DEPARTURE rocked a packed House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach, SC on 12/27/23. Strong performance, great crowd, rockin’ night!!!!

I was at the Villa Rica september 8th concert and, just, wow. Departure is such a great band and, they sound almost identical to the real Journey band. I love them so much!

Enjoyed their performance as much as when I saw Journey live

We had a GREAT time at Southern Roots tonight watch Departure…they put on a great performance. It was on point!

My favorite band and people.

Anytime Departure is in our area, we try and see them. So good, so fun, so cool ! We take friends who have never seen them before because we love to show them off. What a great, rockin’ performance and they’re a nice bunch offstage too. We hope they never grow old!!

Got to see Departure for the first time Nov. 3rd at the Bulldog Park in Athens. Awesome band and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. After performing ask to get picture with them and they said yes. Very down to earth and looking forward to seeing them again soon.

Saw Departure in Portage Michigan 07/13/23 outdoors.

Without a doubt, the absolute best and in my opinion (old guy here been to 700+ shows and listening to Journey since the very beginning) even better than Steve Perry. in the vocals. The music was incredible and perfect, both in sound and energy. All I can say is “Wow”. Well done and PLEASE come back to Kalamazoo Michigan at the State Theatre. You’ll sell out.

Saw these guys for the first time in Chattanooga. They had my heart the first note that Brian sang. They sound just like Journey. That concert brought back so many memories and brought back the dreams I had when I was younger. My husband and I were fulfilling those dreams until he passed away 10 years ago. I let the dream die for a while until I heard these guys. Thanks for bringing back the memories and my dreams. I’ll stop by your concerts while I’m on the road.

Saw them at Madlife while visiting friends in Woodstock, GA. and had so much fun. Hope they make their way up to Virginia in the near future.

They were awesome, if I had closed my eyes I would have thought it was Journey. I loved them and hope to see them next year at the Mississippi Coast.

You guys were great. Couldn’t get enough. Saw yall in Ocean Springs last night and Biloxi today. I bleed Journey music if cut. Saw Journey first time in 1980 ,Jackson, Ms

Have a safe trip home. Hope we meet again.

Saw Departure 2x’s this year in Mt. Pleasant, SC. We were front and center stage! My favorite band that never disappoints. Spot on with vocals. Love the blowing long hair and energy of these guys! You all rock!

I’ve seen Departure in GA and Mount Pleasant, SC. I never miss a show at the WindJammer or Party at the Point. I let all my friend know and we usually have a group.

These guys are so talented and professional. They put on a great show each time! Bryan’s vocals are spot on and he’s backed by some terrific guys that know their stuff.

You guys rocked Broadway tonight. Awesome show!

Great band at a great venue

A fitting stage for a truly amazing performance. As the one gentleman said “there are bands that can play Journey tunes, but no one else can really step up and sing them.” They packed the house in that gem of a theater and had everyone clapping, singing, and hollering along. These guys really do sound like Journey,and I have seen Journey live on stage!

Thank you for an amazing show!

Great experience. My wife and I saw Departure last night in Franklin, NC. Lead vocals were spot on. Band was excellent, energetic, non stop, and engaging. Thank you Departure for giving your all and providing an excellent concert.

I saw Steve Perry and Journey in 1979 and He has nothing on you! You guys are brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Thankyou!!!!

We were on our feet with arms outstretched, rocking our 2023 “lighters” in the air, our voices raised in song, in appreciation to Departure, who were killing it to all our Journey favorites. Thank you for the evening out at The Smoky Mountain Playhouse: Departure YOU ROCK❣️ See you next year- What a great time!

At the Smokey Mtn Center. What a wonderful show. Had a blast. Will definitely see again next time they come to town. Highly recommend going.

Excellent show, and very accurate.

I loved the energy throughout the show, they did an especially good job on Stone In Love.

They were also very nice, they signed my ticket and poster, and gave me a guitar pick.

It was my first concert, and I am sure to never forget it!

I will definitely be on the lookout to see them again next year!

This band is hands down the closest band that can compare to Journey .

I’ve had so much fun going to see these guys that I drove to Woodstock Georgia because I missed them in Chattanooga! We’re going again to Woodstock in October can’t wait.

If you have ever been to a Journey concert, close your eyes and be transported back 40 years. These guys are great musicians and showmen. I will see them again.

Saw these guys for the first time last night with my wife and they did not disappoint. Great show from start to finish. Can’t wait to see them again in 2 weeks.

Love the sound of the band and the range of Brian Williams! Played for more than two hours and all the hits! Brought back so many good memories. Great show!

Close your eyes and you’d swear Journey was on stage. Departure is an amazing band and giving you a show experience, you won’t soon forget. Great night of rock.

8/18/23 HOUSE OF BLUES ORLANDO! Seen every show they’ve done here. This was the best show yet! Vocals strong and clear! Guitar lead instrumentals, keyboard, base, drums all super clear and played to perfection. They didn’t miss a note or a beat! Just spot on as good as Journey in concert (saw last month) without the $200 dollar seats 1/4 mile from the stage! House of Blues is a great cool venue with a open floor and pews and stools on 2 balconies and some VIP tables in a New Orleans style setting. Great sound and lights! And they’re celebrating their 16 year anniversary! PERFECTION!

The performance was simply unbelievable. No words to describe how good these guys are.

The band was awesome last night in Evans,Georgia. So much energy! Played 2 hours non-stop and then came out and greeted and allowed any guests to take photos with them. So nice!! Loved it!!

This band was awesome!! I would pay the money to go see them again! The best show ever!! The singer sounded just as good if not better then Steve Perry..

Saw Departure in Evans, GA tonight. It was a very high energy show. The vocals and band were amazing.

You guys were awesome tonight! The mix was a bit off the first half, but it really came together for the second half! I did not think a Cover-Band could be so on par with the original, but also, your Stage Presence and ability to keep the audience so involved was truly remarkable.

I had the absolute pleasure to see this band at City of Cumming Music Festival presented by 37 Main Buford. I was mesmerized. Each and every member are energetic rock star performers on stage and kind gentleman off stage. I never thought I would see or hear Journey the same again. Well done Departure. Excellent job! VERY. Well done.

The first concert I ever went to was the GA Sattelights and Journey in Atlanta, GA. I was 15 years old. Now at age 52 I saw Departure in concert in Loganville, GA in 2020.I have to say Departure was just as good if not better than Journey. This years show got rained out. Heartbrea

king

Berea, Ohio loves Departure. Who knew I’d have so much fun at a cover band concert. These guys are amazing and give it 100%. Amazing musicians.

Saw Departure in Berea Ohio. If you love Journey you will love this band. Great show.

Just saw them at Live at the Lake in Berea, Ohio. If you’ve seen Departure, you’ve seen Journey. They’re that good. Truly nice guys.

Just home from our small town Berea Friday night concert. Departure rakes them in and the show is absolutely amazing! Great night, great concert once again. Thank You Departure! 💕💕 Best show at the lake.

We saw the show last night in Portage Michigan and were impressed by all of the performers!

Saw them in Portage Michigan and the show was incredible. You could close your eyes and listen to an incredible lead singer and band. One of the best tribute bands I have ever heard
