Info for Inception

Die aus New York und Boston stammende Band Hugo's Voyage wurde 2005 als Journey Tribute-Band gegründet und ist die erfolgreichste ihrer Art in den USA, die eine treue Fangemeinde anzieht und von deren Musik tief bewegt ist.

Hugo's Voyage, bestehend aus dem ehemaligen Valentine und Open Skyz Sänger Hugo, Robby Hoffman (Gitarre), Greg Smith (Bass), Dana Spellman (Schlagzeug) und Lance Millard (Keyboards), haben sich nun auf eine eigene musikalische Reise begeben und auf ihrem Debüt-Album «Inception» einen unverwechselbaren Sound entwickelt, der ihren Einflüssen Tribut zollt und gleichzeitig eine eigene, lebendige Identität entwickelt.

"Für mich war es eine natürliche Entwicklung, dass wir unserer Inspiration folgten und ein Album mit eigenen Songs heraus brachten. Dieses Album ist für alle AOR-Fans da draussen", sagt Hugo.

Ihr Sound mag Nostalgie für die goldene Ära des Rocks hervorrufen, aber Hugo's Voyage haben die Grenzen des klassischen Rocks neu definiert, indem sie ihre Musik mit einer zeitgenössischen Kante und einer frischen Perspektive versehen haben, die sie von ihren Mitstreitern abhebt. Ihre Musik besitzt eine zeitlose Qualität, die Generationen überbrückt und beweist, dass grossartige Rock-Musik die Zeit überdauert.

Hugo Valenti
started his career as frontman for the band Valentine. The band was orignally signed with Columbia Records and released their debut album in 1990 through Warner Bros. Records. The bands video for the song “No Way” was consistently featured on MTV. Valentine also wrote and performed songs for the movie “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter Is Dead” starring Christina Applegate. Valentne's ballad "Never Said it Was Gonna be Easy" was recently ranked by Classic Rock Magazine as the #1 'Greatest Power Ballad You've Never Heard'.

For the 2nd release, the band changed their name to Open Skyz and released their album through RCA/Giant Records. Produced by Ritchie Zito (Eddie Money, Cheap Trick, Heart, Cher) and Rob Jacobs. (Don Henley, The Eagles, U2), the album provided several singles, including the top 20 AOR single “Every Day Of My Life”. The band went on to tour with acts such as Mr. Big and KISS.

After years of touring and searching for their dream, the band broke up. Hugo went on his own making his debut solo album recognized throughout the AOR community.

Constantly being compared to Steve Perry, he started fronting his own tribute band to keep his voice strong while releasing two more solo albums "Time On Earth" and "Fire In The Night" and partnering with Josh Ramos, (formerly of The Storm, Two Fires and Hardline) to complete Ramos/Hugo album. Hugo's next project was getting together with Valentine for a one time album project called "Soul Salvation" which was released 2008/2009.

Hugo has many songs written and when time permits he will put out another solo project. Right now he's enjoying his time with VOYAGE, a musical tribute to Steve Perry and Journey featuring world class players top in their field.

This album contains no booklet.
