Marin Rocker Neal Schon Readies For Journey Tour

SAN ANSELMO, CA — Guitarist and founding Journey member Neal Schon is readying for an upcoming tour with the band, and the San Anselmo resident can’t wait.

“We hope your having as much fun as we always do ! C U on tour hopefully @nealandmichaeleschon @journeymusicofficial,” Schon wrote on his Facebook page Thursday.

Journey has announced six dates on its upcoming tour through the end of this calendar year. The tour launches Aug. 20 in Atlantic City.

The band will conclude the year in Las Vegas Dec. 18 with a special symphony performance at Caesars Palace.

Journey earlier this summer posted a video of a song from its upcoming album titled “The Way We Used To Be.”

“[This song] came out of one of the many loops I’d written while the long downtime continued with the pandemic we all had to deal with,” Schon said in a statement according to Rolling Stone.

“So utilizing my time and trying to keep fans in touch I started posting many jams and loops I created very quickly most every day. On ‘The Way We Used To Be’ I laid down the keyboard loop with over-dubbed rhythm and a little blues lead guitar and sent to Jonathan. He sent it back very shortly after with demo vocals and lyrics and I said to myself with a smile, ‘We’ve still got it!'”
