Neal Schon To Cover Neal Schon At Journey Concert

Journey has announced that their special guest on their Canadian tour will be Neal “Vortex” Schon.

Of course, Schon is a founding member of Journey and will be playing with them on their section of the show, but he will also open, playing songs from his new all-instrumental album Vortex. Joining Schon will be Omar Hakim on drums, Rachel Z Hakim on keyboards and Jerry Brooks on bass.

Vortex was released on Tuesday via the Mascot Music Group.

Schon will then join his Journey bandmates Jonathan Cain (keyboards and backing vocals), co-founder Ross Valory (bass and backing vocals), and lead vocalist Arnel Pineda (who was discovered by Schon) for a hit-filled set from the classic rockers. Omar Hakim will also be doing double duty, filling in for Deen Castronovo who was recently arrested for assault.
