Murphy’s most significant resume item is touring with the Alan Parsons<\/a> Live Project. Ironically, he’s also worked with<\/a> Steve Augeri, who originally replaced<\/a> former Journey frontman Steve Perry<\/a> in the late-’90s. Murphy has posted his own covers<\/a> of several Journey songs along the way. <\/p>\n Castronovo is in his second stint as Journey’s drummer and has more recently taken on occasional lead vocal duties. Murphy did in Cleveland<\/a>, as well, singing Perry’s parts on “Just the Same Way” and “Anytime.”<\/p>\n Murphy earlier had a lengthy stint in a south Florida group<\/a> called Nobody’s Fault after signing with Mercury Records<\/a> as part of Company of Wolves. He was congratulated later<\/a> in the evening by his regular bandmates in the Hitmen. “We’re all so proud,” they said. “We always knew he was a very special talent.”<\/p>\n Other notable associations include Jack Bruce<\/a>. Murphy played with the late Cream<\/a> legend on the Alan Parsons-led Walk Down Abbey Road Tour<\/a> and then on the Cream of Jack Bruce Tour<\/a>, both in the early ’00s. <\/p>\n Castronovo was part of the offshoot band<\/a> Bad English with Cain and Schon before replacing Steve Smith in Journey \u2013 twice. Castronovo’s first tenure lasted from 1998-2015<\/a>; he’s been back in the lineup since 2021.<\/p>\n Valenti performed “Faithfully”<\/a> during Journey’s Aug. 29 stop at the Greatest Rock Fukuoka Festival at Mizuho PayPay Dome and then again on Sept. 1<\/a> at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo. Valenti also sang the Escape<\/a><\/em> deep cut “Keep on Runnin'” during the second show. He hasn’t joined them again.<\/p>\n Nick DeRiso is author of the Amazon best-selling rock band bio ‘Journey: Worlds Apart,’ available now at all major bookseller websites<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n They’re seemingly always on the road, but the shows haven’t necessarily been well-documented.\u00a0So, we took a more expansive look back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n You Think You Know Journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\nWho Is Journey Guest Drummer Steve Murphy?<\/h3>\n
