MARYVILLE, Mo. — The sweet sounds of classic rock love ballads filled the field of Donaldson-Westside Park Amphitheater as Maryville was taken back to the 70s and 80s by Revelation: A Tribute to Journey.

Revelation played the final show of the Concerts in the Park series on Saturday, June 16, with a performance that had the audience dancing, singing and enjoying the music of one of the best bands in soft rock. Songs like “Don’t Stop Believin,’” “Any Way You Want It” and even “Oh Sherrie” were played during the night of music.

While many tribute bands consist of only one vocalist, Revelation utilized all members of its band to create the sound of Journey. The Kansas City band consisted of Danny Wayman who sang lead vocals, David Williams who sang vocals and played the guitar, Curtis Anderson who also sang lead vocals and played the bass, Nate Holt who sang vocals and played the keyboard and Craig Shores who sang vocals and played the drums.

Along with the musical entertainment, Maryville Parks and Recreation offered a Kids Zone for younger audience members to enjoy. Food and beverages were also available through Hy-Vee Food and Spirit during the event.

As Maryville Parks and Recreation finished up the concert series, representatives from the team made sure to acknowledge sponsors of the event. Jordyn Swalley encouraged the audience to fill out surveys available at the event to tell the sponsors about their experience and to be patrons of those businesses that helped make the series possible.
