Returning Journey drummer Steve Smith says that he is excited to be back playing with the band again. “I am excited to revisit a role that was a formative part of my career, performing music that has touched many people for more than 30 years,” Smith said on Facebook. “My kids Ian, Elizabeth, Kasia and Zac have not seen me play with the group (Ian has but he was too young to remember), it will be fun to have them see me perform with the band. Finally, I can say ‘yes’ to the many fans who have asked if I would tour with Journey again.” “My hope is that Journey fans will appreciate a new line-up similar to the Escape and Frontiers era – and will want to revisit this timeless music with me. By bringing my musical experience to the table along with the years that the members of Journey have spent touring, I’m sure this new incarnation of Journey will develop its own special magic. It’s going to be amazing. I look forward to seeing all the fans on the road!” Smith replaced Deen Castronovo, who was fired earlier this year. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
