Myrtle Beach Work-cation


So I was fortunate enough to get an invitation to shoot at great band at a great venue in a great vacation spot. What could be better, right? Well, when the band is Frontiers - Journey Tribute Band, the venue is the House of Blues, and the vacation spot is Myrtle Beach, it doesn't get much better.
We found out Frontiers would be playing the House of Blues, Myrtle Beach at the end of May and singer Jeremey Hunsicker invited me to shoot them there. First, if you've never heard Frontiers, you owe it to yourself to check them out. They are THE Journey Tribute Band. You can check them out at www.journeytributeband.com or find them on facebook.

So the wife and I talked about the proposition and decided we could make it a mini working vacation, a work-cation if you will. So we arrived a day before the show and stayed a day afterward. We had a great trip and had a blast with the guys. I'll post more details about the vacation par of the trip on another post but suffice it to say the Frontiers gig at the House of Blues was the highlight of the weekend.

I hadn't been to Myrtle Beach in 10 years. And believe it or not, I had actually seen JGB at the House of Blues then. It is a truly great venue.

Before the show we met a friend from my hometown that I hadn't seen in probably 25 years and his wife. Our friends, Mitch Borden and his wife Lisa, made reservations for us for dinner at the House of Blues and in spite of my wife and I getting lost and arriving late, we had a wonderful dinner. It was great catching up with Mitch after all these years and the wives became fast friends. They are just really nice people and we are looking forward to hanging out with them again very soon.


As for the concert itself....WOW!! The guys really brought their "A" game. The best show we have seen by far. It was so much fun seeing them at this venue. So the moral of the story is.......great music at a great venue with great friends makes for one incredible night of fun!
Just back and I'll offer some more update on the guys from Frontiers and more on our Myrtle beach trip.
have a great day!
