I could see that tree so clearly in my mind, and then I opened my eyes and thought, ‘Whoa—where did I just go?’ Now everybody has passed of course, but for just that moment I was home for Christmas.”
For both artist and audience alike, The Season ultimately serves as a form of emotional time travel, a direct conduit for the kind of memories that sustain the spirit and restore a sense of joyous serenity.
While getting ready for a tour Steve took some time and went to Hawaii. It was not long when Chrysalis and Columbia came knocking and wanted to sign the group to their label. After hearing Moyes play they started jamming and writing a song. Despite his solo success, Perry decided to put his second solo project on hold and dedicated himself to the album "Raised On Radio." After recording "Raised on Radio," Perry returned to San Joaquin to visit his family and his ailing mother.
“ On April 21st 1986, Raised on Radio was released and a slimmed down Journey with Randy Jackson and Michael Baird embarked on a tour in August of 1986. Steve in 2002 worked with Tommy Tokioka and Laid Law featuring Nikki Sixx lending his vocals to the single I Wish You Were Mine from Tommy’s CD Happy To Be Living and Send My Baby Home a single from Laid Law’s First Big Picnic CD.
While visiting his friend drummer Steve Ferrone in 2003 Stephen once again lent his vocal’s to Jeff Galoub’s song Can’t Let You Go which was released on Jeff’s new CD Soul Sessions. Steve who had met Neal Schon in 1976 before Alien Project got together asked if they needed a lead singer. It was then that ex-Baby’s keyboard player Jonathan Cain was brought aboard to replace Rollie.
Steve and Jonathan began writing together and a partnership was formed.
Steve wanted to try and pursue a career as a DJ and went to San Francisco to take the F.C.C. Steve became first tenor in the choir and believes that the experience and training he received helped to shape his voice. I felt like I was sort of spinning my wheels so I got out.” “When I was younger my parent’s were mad at me because I never learned how to write or read music.”
In 1974 Andy Krawchuk from Privilege invited Steve to come join Privilege and Steve came up to Edmonton where they started rehearsals for an Eastern Canada tour.
Between 1978 and 1987, Perry’s soaring tenor and commanding stage presence helped define Journey’s signature style on classic albums like Infinity (1978), Evolution (1979), Escape (1981), and Frontiers (1983).
The band scored massive hits with tracks like Don’t Stop Believin’, Open Arms, Faithfully, and Separate Ways, blending arena rock energy with heartfelt lyricism.

While rehearsing for drummers Moyes Lucus Jr. knocked on the door and asked for an audition to play. Call Paul Taylor he wants to write with you.” Cyndi told Steve. On “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve,” The Season shifts into a jazzy reverie that lovingly nods to Ella Fitzgerald’s version from 1960.
It was his time to find his life and find himself.
His parents were Raymond Perry, a vocalist and co-owner of a radio station, and Mary Quaresma Perry. In early April Steve was present at the San Diego Padres ball park to root for the San Francisco Giants on opening day. It was not long after that the Sullies disbanded.
