Biography

Majesty of Rock is a mega talented group of south Florida musicians who banded together to faithfully re-create the sound and feel of the two super groups: Journey and Styx. Fronted by the masterful voice of John D’Agostino, this band also boasts the talents of four exceptional artists who not only capture every nuance of Journey in their iconic Steve Perry days, but also the vocal essence of Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw of Styx.
John D’Agostino, Vocalist (aka Steve Perry/Dennis DeYoung/Tommy Shaw)
John grew up in New York. A long-time resident of South Florida, John has been singing ... since he was a young boy. Blessed with exceptional range, he is the driving force behind the band’s sound. With his sound-a-like re-creations of Steve Perry, Dennis DeYoung, and Tommy Shaw, there are few vocalists today who can match his talent.
Rob Doyle, Bass, Vocals, Musical Director (aka Ross Valory/Chuck Panozzo)
Rob hails from Calgary, Alberta Canada, and is a long-time resident of South Florida. He has been playing bass guitar for more than 30 years working with bands including: George Fox, Powder River Express and Prairie Oyster. Rob was classically trained as a vocalist and spent a number of years performing in Music Theater. A veteran of the South Florida music scene, Rob also serves as the band’s leader and Musical Director.
Barry Gruber, Keyboards, Vocals (aka Jonathan Cain/Dennis DeYoung)
Barry was raised in Akron, Ohio. He spent time recording progressive rock for years in Memphis where he recorded music at the House of Blues before moving to South Florida. Although he has played keyboard and piano for 35 years, Barry’s real passion can be heard and felt through the intricate sounds he creates, intertwining the keyboard with the music. His attention to detail began when he worked as a keyboard tech for Dennis DeYoung. He loves adding that extra special touch to the band’s musical aura. Barry’s musical influences include Rush, Dream Theater, and Styx.
Daryl Tomas, Guitar, Vocals (aka Neal Schon/Tommy Shaw/James Young)
Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Daryl began playing guitar at the age of eight. Coming from a very musical family, he was immersed in all different styles of music from a very early age and by the age of 15 he was playing school dances and parties with a local rock band. After honing his skills on the Southwest Michigan bar circuit, Daryl relocated to South Florida where he has since performed, recorded, and toured with various local and national artists from the Southeast US to Mexico. He appeared in the movie “The Boynton Beach Club” with a popular South Florida oldies band as well as served in the music ministries of many local churches.
Dennis Pelchat, Drums, Vocals (aka Steve Smith/John Panozzo)
Dennis is a life-long drummer, who came to South Florida via his hometown in Valleyfield, Quebec Canada. Like Barry, he's another huge fan of Progressive Rock and cites Carl Palmer as his biggest musical influence. Before joining Majesty of Rock, he performed with a band called Tranquility Base. While Dennis is known as the quiet one, he supplies the solid foundation for the band as well as the beautiful high harmonies.
