West Palm Beach, CA (Top40 Charts / SSI Records) The members of Odyssey Road have made a name for themselves with spot-on covers of classic rock band Journey; now, the band is excited to announce the release of their first original single. "If I Never Have You" will hit the airwaves on October 1 st and will be available for download on October 15th . A release show and party will be held at Wellington Amphitheater at 7:00pm , where the band will play the new track along with standards from the
Journey catalog. "If I Never Have You" is available for pre-order on Odyssey Road's official website: www.odysseyroadband.com .
Odyssey Road has been on the road playing nationwide gigs since early 2009. In November of that year, the band released "Essence Recaptured," a 17-track album of
Journey chart toppers. Each member of the quintet has a wealth of experience and talent to fall back on, helping them to recreate the sound of
Journey with flawless precision. The new single is the band's opportunity to stake a claim to its own place in music history.
"We started four years ago with the mission of paying tribute to one of the most legendary rock groups of all time, and we've been more successful in that respect than any of us would have thought possible," said Odyssey Road frontman
James "Bubba" Sanderford. "Soon, we realized that our band was a powerful collection of talent and began toying with the idea of writing some original material. Today, we're excited to bring new music to the world."
In addition to founding member and lead vocalist Sanderford, the regular lineup of Odyssey Road includes:
Bobby Gugliuzza , bass guitar and vocals
Brian Lutz , drums and vocals
Mike Soper , keyboards, synths and vocals
Paulie Granato , guitar and vocals
The soon-to-be-released single is just the beginning of a new stage in the band's career. Odyssey Road has a second new song set for release next February, to be followed closely by a full album.
