When the idea of ProgJect first came to mind, my initial thought was, “Wouldn’t it be cool to have a stable of amazing players to work with, and depending on the material and schedule - pick, choose and assemble accordingly, always keeping it fresh and with new perspectives via the various players.” How lucky was I that my first set of phone calls resulted in the opportunity to put together a line-up that came together straight away!
That being said, the 2022 debut line-up of ProgJect on tour was a big success and the opportunities for the future are even greater than imagined. Therefore, it’s time to expand the ProgJect family and make the situation one so that we do not have to pass on any opportunities or turn down any offers due to someone’s availability or lack of.
And with that, I’d like to welcome and introduce you to Nick D’Virgilio (Big Big Train, Spock’s Beard, Genesis) - vocals, guitar, keys, percussion; Marc Bonilla (ASIA, Keith Emerson Band, UKZ) – vocals, guitar; Ric Fierabracci (UKZ, Chick Corea, Planet X) – bass, pedals, guitar, vocals; Ted Leonard (Spock’s Beard, Transatlantic, Pattern-seeking Animals) – vocals, guitar, keys; Michael Whiteman (I Am The Manic Whale, Ryo Okumoto Band) - vocals, bass, guitar, keys; and Travis Davis (Keith Emerson Band, Danny Seraphine’s CTA, Dragonchoir) – bass, pedals, guitar, vocals. As previously mentioned, depending on material and schedule, we’ll present various line-ups accordingly.
But why stop there? If you’re a musician (vocalist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, instrumentalist, and/or a drummer, in case I need a break at some point) and you love classic prog, want to play classic prog, can play the shit out of your instrument(s) and remember all the notes/words, own the gear, have a passport and experience on the road (know bus/travel etiquette), play and get along well with others, have no problems (bad habits) with alcohol and/or drugs, and are reliable, then by all means, send me an email with your details and we’ll take it from there.
Looking forward!
