File/staff: The Music Farm hosts Odyssey Road on Friday.
OK folks, it’s time for another admission: I’m a Journey fan.
Whew, it feels so good to get that off my chest. (Don’t hate.)
Yes, I’m the person who throws their fist up in the air and sings every word when songs such as “Don’t Stop Believing,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Faithfully” and “Separate Ways” come on at the local bar, or on the radio, or at a wedding … well, you get the idea.
So it excites me to announce that Odyssey Road, the “ultimate” Journey tribute band, will be performing Friday night at the Music Farm, 32 Ann St. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 the day of the show. Doors open at 8 p.m.
Find out more info at www.musicfarm.com.
Now if only I could convince someone to go with me!
In other music news, Freshfields Village’s Music on the Green concert series comes to a close 6-9 p.m. Friday.
The final performance in the free, family-friendly series will be by Men of Distinction. The high-energy seven-piece group plays everything from rhythm and blues to country and swing to soul and Bach (you read that right).
The show will be on the Freshfields Village Green, at the crossroads of Johns, Seabrook and Kiawah islands. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. And don’t forget to bring a beach chair or blanket for the event.
