Steve Perry Holiday Auction: Bid on Music History for a Cause
Former JOURNEY singer Steve Perry has teamed up with Darkives Collectibles to launch a holiday auction featuring items from his personal archive. The auction aims to raise funds for Gilead House, a charity supporting unhoused single mothers and their children. Over 90 unique items are up for grabs, including handwritten lyrics, diamond records, vintage tour merchandise, signed instruments, and more. The auction runs until December 16, offering fans a chance to own a piece of music history while supporting a good cause.
Highlights of the auction include handwritten lyrics of JOURNEY classics like "Separate Ways" and "Only The Young," as well as Steve Perry's diamond RIAA award for JOURNEY's "Escape." Solo and JOURNEY albums, test pressings, and signed items from Steve's personal collection are also available. The auction features promotional and signed items related to Steve's holiday albums, as well as vintage merch from past tours. Steve Perry expressed his excitement about sharing these items with fans and supporting Gilead House through the auction.
In addition to the auction, Steve Perry released an animated video for "This Christmas" from his holiday album "The Season 3." Earlier this year, he surprised fans with a reimagined version of JOURNEY's "Faithfully" featuring Willie Nelson. The track was produced by Kent Wells and Steve Perry, showcasing a powerful duet between the two artists. Darkives Collectibles, a platform specializing in artist archives, curated the items for the auction, sourced directly from the artists themselves.
