Fremont Street Experience presents “Summer of the ’70s” welcomes Escape, a seasoned Journey tribute band. Performing free concerts August 17-21, reminisce with the band’s multi-platinum selling hits like “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Open Arms,” “Any Way You Want It,” and “Separate Ways.” Escape will perform three sets a night – at 9, 10 and 11 p.m. — each starting after the top-of-the-hour Viva Vision shows.
The lead singer, Dave Alcantar, is from Orange County, Calif., and the rest of the band is from the Greater L.A. area.

The band consists of veteran musicians who love performing the music of Journey as accurately as possible while bringing a dynamic high-energy presentation to every show. Escape consists of keyboardist Stu Simone, drummer Gary Ponder, bass player Clark Souter, guitarist Jay Gore and lead singer Dave Alcantar.
