Added on 10-05-2007 Liquid Tension Experiment to headine Saturday night in 2008 "We are very pleased to announce the Saturday night headliner for NEARfest X - Liquid Tension Experiment! The supergroup consisting of Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin are reconvening and preparing to tear the roof off of Zoellner Arts Center next June. Portnoy and Petrucci are founding members of progressive metal's 5-headed monster, Dream Theater, and have won accolades from fans and critics alike for their prowess on the drum kit and guitar, respectively. Rudess is was previously known for his blazing keyboard work with the Dixie Dregs and the Rudess/Morgenstein Project and joined Dream Theater officially after the second Liquid Tension Experiment album sessions. Tony Levin needs no introduction - Stick and bass maestro, two-time NEARfest alum, and played with everyone from King Crimson to Peter Gabriel to Yes to Sarah McLachlan. Liquid Tension Experiment's two studio albums, Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and Liquid Tension Experiment 2 (1999), are filled to the brim with everything from blazing, chops-laden sonic attacks ("Paradigm Shift") to melodic anthems ("When the Water Breaks") to humorous jams ("Chris and Kevin's Excellent Adventure"). The improvisational nature in the writing sessions permitted the band to stretch out to many different influences, including rock, metal, prog, funk, blues and even ragtime. It is a great honor to host this ensemble of legendary, virtuoso players on the NEARfest stage for our 10th anniversary." For more information, please visit the NEARfest website. Liquid Trio Experiment - "Spontaneous Combustion" Added on 09-27-2007 Mike Portnoy mixes the Liquid Trio Experiment Jams Liquid Trio Experiment - "Spontaneous Combustion" - Magna Carta MA-9060 Tony Levin - Bass Mike Portnoy - Drums Jordan Rudess - Keyboards US Release date: October 23rd, 2007 Pre-order Now at CDUniverse.com European Release date: October 22nd, 2007 Pre-order Now at Play.com Dream Theater's keyboard player and drummer Tony Levin - bassist with King Crimson and Peter Gabriel Unreleased jams recorded during sessions for LTE2 Limited Edition Metallic Print DigiPak Brand new liner notes by Mike Portnoy "In October 1998, Liquid Tension Experiment reunited at Millbrook Studios in upstate New York to record their 2nd album. A few days into the sessions, John Petrucci's pregnant wife went into premature labor leaving Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin stranded in an already set-up and booked recording studio. So like any creative and productive musicians would do, they decided to stay and JAM... and JAM they did! For some bizarre and still unexplained reason, the master tapes of these jams were misplaced during the mixing process. But, luckily, Portnoy records almost everything he ever does and as a result his live 2-track stereo DAT mixes are the only remaining traces of this historic jam. So what you have here is as live and raw as it gets. No overdubs, no editing, no mixing. Just 3 guys, their instruments and their spontaneous imaginations feeding off of each other."

Rudess/Morgenstein Project to perform at CalProg 2007 Added on 02-18-2007 CalProg 2007 - Press Release Saturday May 19, 2007 in Whittier, California The Rudess/Morgenstein Project Frogg Cafe Spiraling Puppet Show (Dinner Break Patio Performer: To Be Announced) Tickets on Sale: Saturday February 24 at 8am PST - All Seats Reserved Get tickets at: http://www.calprog.com PayPal or Major Credit Card accepted First Come First Served, All Sales Final ABOUT CP07 We are very proud to present the 4th annual progressive rock festival CalProg 2007. Each year we strive to showcase the very best in modern prog, drawing from the diverse sub-classifications that exist in this genre of music. The festival runs for 12 hours and is presented in a comfortable family friendly traditional theater where all seats are reserved. One of our top priorities is superior sound quality so we use the finest state of the art pro-audio equipment for your enjoyment. In addition, CalProg offers a unique opportunity to interact with the performers in our large Vendor area and dining patio. As returning CalProggers will attest, this is an all encompassing total musical immersion marathon. RUDESS/MORGENSTEIN PROJECT Our headliners this year represent the very finest in musicianship working today. This rare concert appearance will provide an opportunity to experience these two virtuosos in an intimate concert setting. Jordan Rudess (keyboards for Dream Theater) is known for his versatility at both playing and composing. He is adept at everything from emotionally charged orchestrations (see Dream Theater, 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence opening), to blistering shredding, as demonstrated going note for note with DT's renowned guitarist John Petrucci. Rod Morgenstein while perhaps best known for his 30+ years of drumming with the esteemed "Dixie Dregs", has appeared recently on Jordan's "Rhythm of Time" solo CD as well as being the drummer for Jelly Jam, Platypus and Winger. His list of album credits reads like a who's who of the music industry. When asked about what we can expect to hear from them, Rod replied, "An RPM concert includes a mix of stuff from the RPM studio CD, Jordan's Rhythm of Time CD, solo keyboard extravaganzas, drum solos, and jam improvisations." FROGG CAFE This New York based band marks the first "prog/jazz/jam" band to perform at CalProg. They have 2 highly acclaimed studio albums and plan to release a live album in the very near future. But their recorded works don't begin to do justice to their real strength, live performances! Marked by their instrument versatility you will see many members switching instruments and the incorporation of brass and strings into the symphonic mix. If you are not familiar with the Froggies, prepare to add a new entry to you favorite bands list! SPIRALING New Jersey based CalProg alums (CP05) are making a return appearance by popular demand. This young, energetic group takes a prog base rich with synths and snappy guitar work, and infuses it with power-pop sensibilities. The result is a catchy and uplifting sound with more hooks than a tackle box. Keyboardist and primary writer Tom Brislin has very impressive prog credentials, having been the touring ivoryologist with bands like YES (the symphonic tour... that's him on the DVD!), Camel and even Meatloaf. But you haven't lived until you've seen him do "the Briz Shuffle" live. Even your non-prog friends and loved ones will love this band. PUPPET SHOW No, not the act that upstaged Spinal Tap, this is the real deal from Northern California. Bursting back on the prog scene with a new CD (to be released next month) and performances at both CalProg and ROSfest, 2007 promises to be a big year for Puppet Show and their fans. Stylistically they are along the lines of the classic prog acts of the �70s, to my ears a direct descendant from Genesis. These guys will remind you why you got into progressive rock to begin with.
