One of the most popular bands to appear in the Decatur Chamber’s annual summer Concert Series will be returning to the Madison St. Plaza stage Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E5C4P3, a Journey tribute band, will be making its fifth appearance in the eight-year history of the annual series, and its third year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E5C4P3 first performed on the plaza back in 2019, the second year of the Chamber-sponsored concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band is scheduled to play from 7 to 9:30 Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No admission is charged and, as usual, various types of food will be available, along with adult beverages provided by The Oasis Pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONG TIME: E5C4P3 has been around awhile, since being formed in 1993. After going on hiatus in 1999, the band was reformed in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five-man band says it focuses on the Steve Perry era, covering Journey hits like \u201cLights\u201d, \u201cWheel in the Sky\u201d, \u201c Separate Ways\u201d, and \u201cBe Good to Yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking on the role of Journey vocalist Steve Perry is Jason Kelty, 54, a Cleveland native who has been performing professionally since 1992.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Decatur show, the band will move into two Ohio sites, Springboro and Norton, for gigs on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
