The Hugo concert is the best Journey Tribute band you will ever hear. Hugo not only looks like Steve Perry but he sounds just like him! "It's the closest thing to original Journey we have ever heard" is what everyone is saying!
Hugo Valenti is no stranger to the world of Journey’s iconic music. As the longtime frontman of Voyage, he helped build one of the most successful tribute acts in the country, selling out venues nationwide and earning a reputation for delivering the most authentic Journey tribute. His uncanny resemblance—both in voice and appearance—to Steve Perry is no coincidence. In fact, when Hugo auditioned to take the famed frontman’s place, he was told he looked too much like Perry. Now, Hugo is taking it to the next level with Hugo – The Ultimate Journey Tribute. This show brings audiences the anthems they know and love, performed with the same passion and precision that only Hugo can deliver.Beyond his tribute success, Hugo has a deep-rooted history in rock. He was the lead singer of Valentine, a melodic rock band that emerged in the early ‘90s, carrying the spirit of ‘80s arena rock into a new era.
The main stage is being closed off from the festival on Saturday starting at 5PM in order to create the "pop-up amphitheater!" This area will have covered and uncovered seating available for sale to guarantee you the best seat in the house! We have General Admission seats as well as VIP seats that are right next to the stage to get that up close experience!
If you have Festival Only tickets you will NOT be able to get into the amphitheater seated area. You will be able to hear the concert but there will be visual obstructions. So if you are a Journey Fan then you really should grab tickets to the Hugo concert!
Come be part of this amazing night of 80s history! Its the soundtrack of your life.
CT Food Truck Battles started because the organizers are also the owners of a vehicle wrap company as well as a comedy show fundraiser company. (2 separate companies)
After wrapping over 1000 food trucks and producing hundreds of non profit fundraising shows it just seemed natural to combine the two businesses into a showcase of food truck wraps as well as comical food eating battles.
