The July 5 concert,
featuring Journey’s former lead singer Steve Augeri and Russell Thompkins, Jr
and the New Stylistics, is a fundraiser for the Farmington-based Reach
Foundation, which hopes to raise money to help young people.
Tickets
range in price from $30.80 for bleacher seats to $46.20 for on-field, reserved
sections. Ticketmaster also tacks on charges totaling about $5 per ticket.
Augeri was
Journey’s lead singer for many years after Steve Perry left, regularly performing
the band’s blockbusters before packed arenas.
Thompkins is
the original lead singer for The Stylistics, a rhythm and blues band that had a
string of hits in the 1970s that include “Stop, Look, Listen", "You
Are Everything", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to
Make Up" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New.”
In addition
to the concert, the city plans a vintage baseball game in the afternoon on July
5, fireworks after Journey’s gig is over and a two-day carnival beginning on
July 4.
