In 1989, a promoter located in Milwaukee, WI, reached out to five unconnected regional gunslinger musician/vocalists with the concept of creating an AOR-Rock band with a fresh sound. After meeting each other, JUKEBOX HEROES took the stage “literally” five weeks later to an oversold house at Starz on 100 in Milwaukee with a waiting line out the door.
The tour began, and soon JUKEBOX HEROES was in demand throughout the Midwestern US. The schedule had the group sharing the stage with the likes of 38 Special, Starship, Georgia Satellites, Styx, Kansas, REO, Survivor, ELO, and many more, some on multiple occasions. The group headlined a stage at Summerfest, the largest music festival in the US located in Milwaukee, on multiple occasions drawing thousands of fans.
”Jukebox Heroes”, the self-titled CD, was released in 1992, since then out of print and much sought after by AOR collectors. Now 2023, three decades after, Pride & Joy Records commissioned a remastered version, done by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering.
”Jukebox Heroes” is a unique combination of stellar musicianship, vocals and harmony arrangements in a late ’80s AOR/Pop Rock style similar to Sheriff, 8084, Frontline USA, Sojourn…
This is the Pride & Joy Music physical CD release featuring the original 10-track album plus 6 previously unreleased tracks, all remastered.
A great slice of ’80s + 90s poppy AOR / melodic arena rock.
Highly Recommended
