Awesome!
Saw you at Kennesaw Mountain Fest. We loved it!
Best time!
We saw Departure in Gatlinburg. They totally rock!!! Awesome show!
Madlife Woodstock 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!
The Best Journey Band
Absolutely Mind Blowing rendition. Come back to Daryl’s House as fast as you can!!
BEST CONCERT EVER!
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.
Date night
It was an awesome concert! Journey was our favorite group and Departure delivered a great tribute to them.
Darryl’s house Jan 13 2024
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!!!!
One of the BEST TRIBUTE BANDS EVER
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.
Phenomenal Performance
DEPARTURE rocked a packed House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach, SC on 12/27/23. Strong performance, great crowd, rockin’ night!!!!
AMAZING
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!
Great show
Enjoyed their performance as much as when I saw Journey live
Departure the greatest band!
We had a GREAT time at Southern Roots tonight watch Departure…they put on a great performance. It was on point!
Outstanding
My favorite band and people.
Anyway you want it that’s the way you need it.
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!!
Awesome band
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.
Just close your eyes and listen
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.
Chattanooga
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.
AWESOME!!
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.
DEPARTURE
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.
MEMORIES
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.
Possibly Better than Journey!
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!
Awesome Band
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.
Uptown Columbus Concert
You guys rocked Broadway tonight. Awesome show!
Great show
Great band at a great venue
A One Show At Smokey Mountain Center in Franklin NC
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 Journey tribute band.
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.
Smokey Mtn Performing Arts
I saw Steve Perry and Journey in 1979 and He has nothing on you! You guys are brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Thankyou!!!!
Departure rocked Franklin tonight
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!
Absolutely fantastic
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.
Myrtle Beach House of Blues, Fantastic!
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!
GREATEST JOURNEY BAND EVER
This band is hands down the closest band that can compare to Journey .
Chattanooga Loves You
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.
Fantastic band
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.
Gas South Theater
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.
Excellent show in Duluth, Ga!
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!
Rockin at the PAC
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.
Best show ever at House of Blues Orlando
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!
Evans, Ga.
The performance was simply unbelievable. No words to describe how good these guys are.
Evans, Georgia
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!!
Absolutely awesome performance!!
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..
They are fantastic
Saw Departure in Evans, GA tonight. It was a very high energy show. The vocals and band were amazing.
Un-Freaking-Believable!
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.
Still THEY Ride!
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.
Loganville Concert 2023
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
What a riot !
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.
Excellent Journey
Saw Departure in Berea Ohio. If you love Journey you will love this band. Great show.
Berea, Ohio
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.
Wow!
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.
excellent entertainment
We saw the show last night in Portage Michigan and were impressed by all of the performers!
Awesome Performance
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
Amazing show at house of blues Disney Springs Great musicians and awesome vocals.
You have to be the greatest journey tribute band. Much better than what I saw at Epcot last year
Thanks for playing at the Pecan Festival in Florence, Sc. It’s hard to put in words what an awesome experience to watch and listen to Departure. After having attended multiple Journey concerts in the 80’s, it was just like experiencing the original Journey concerts. You truly rocked the house. I wished there was more time for the musical experience. I didn’t want it to end. If you ever have the chance to see and listen to Departure, be sure to make that date available for the experience, you will leave waiting on the next experience. Please come back and play at the Pecan Festival in Florence SC again in 2020. Also please consider Florence after 5 for the Summer of 2020. Florence will always great you with Arms Wide Open. If you are interested in a different spot in SC, try the Okra Strut in Irmo, SC for the year 2020. Hope you can make it. Here’s hoping to see you at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach SC in January 2020. Rock on. Journey will be proud of you.
-Jeff (Irmo, S.C.)
I saw you guys play for the first time last night at Buford Community Theatre and it was AMAZING!!!! There was so much energy and great music. I really enjoyed it. I hope to see you guys again soon. Rock on!! You guys are the best!!
