State Farm has been running a lot of GREAT commercials lately- those Aaron Rodgers ones come to mind.

But their latest commerical ties right into our Ultimate 80's Dance Party this Saturday-- Journey!

Come in and check out the commercial.. see Journey sing the song.. .and get details about how you could win tickets to see them this summer!

Ultimate 80s

They were one of the BIGGEST bands in the 80's- JourneyEscape and Frontiers were "Must Haves" for your record collection back then.   'Don't Stop Beleivin'', 'Open Arms', 'Faithfully', 'Seperate Ways'..  GREAT songs!  'Don't Stop Believin'' is one of iTunes all time top-selling catalog tracks! 

The gang at State Farm have an affinity for the band as well.. using a hit of Journey's Depature album to demonstrate how accomodating they are!

Now, the guy in the commercial saw Journey (in Fresno) back in 1983.  That was when Steve Perry was the lead singer.   Kudos to all that Steve did with the band until his depature in 1987.

Steve DID rejoin the band for a few years in the mid-90's, but now the lead singer (since 2007) is Arnel Pineda and he rocks the house!  I find it interesting that Steve has Portuguese heritage and Arnel is Filipino. I don't know WHY I find it interesting...

Take a look at the band singing 'Any Way You Want It' just a few years back-

They ROCK the house, and they will be rocking Cheyenne Frontier Days on Thursday July 26th!

THIS SATURDAY-- we have your chance at winning FREE TICKETS and FREE TRANSPORTATION to the show!  Join us for The Ultimate 80's Dance Party at Sunset Event Center Saturday night- part of the fun will be a 'quaters' tournament sponsored by Bud Light!

 The winner of the tournament wins the Journey at Cheyenne Frontier Days prize package! 

It's going to be a GREAT night this Saturday, which could lead to you having a GREAT night later this summer!
