After six years as lead vocalist for the Harrisburg-area Journey tribute band Wheel In The Sky, Rick Balaban announced Monday that he is leaving the group over creative differences. 'We just reached a point where we had very different ideas about where this band is heading,' Balaban said. 'While the other guys wanted to go in a more power-ballad, Open Arms,' Send Her My Love'-oriented direction, I felt that we should be focusing on rocking out more in a Separate Ways' fashion.' Balaban said he plans to embark on a solo career, starting a Journey-lead-vocalist tribute act called 'Steve Perry.' The most likely replacement for Balaban in Wheel In The Sky is Jim 'Kerr' Bulone, currently lead singer of Glittering Prize, a Detroit-area Simple Minds tribute band.
