Progstock 2018
https://www.progstock.com/2018/

ProgStock’s main stage will feature music that most radio hosts would find to be too long and too complex to play on-the-air. Dancing in 7/8, indeed, is left to fans who are accustomed to calculating high math in their heads. It’s easy to assume — because even the massive force of Apple Music doesn’t feature a decent Prog option — that the genre is dead. Alas, the Internet is largely credited for bringing together Prog’s most loyal and growing fandom.

This three-day festival was founded to solve a few positive problems. First, even though a handful of fun Prog gatherings exist around the globe, artists are eager to play in the Northeast United States during the autumn months, where and when not much else in Prog circles takes place. Second, we know that Prog fans are seeking a comfortable, classy venue to see their favorite bands perform. Add in a great host town that’s close to a huge airport and regional rail transportation… and that’s most of ProgStock’s story. The only thing we need for this to be complete? You! And with you, there will be much rejoicing at North America’s Newest International Progressive Rock Festival, which is ProgStock.

Phideaux Xavier is a progressive rock musician whose unique musical style gained the attention of the progressive rock community in the US and Europe upon the 2007 release of his “Doomsday Afternoon” album, the second installment of a trilogy that began in 2006 with “The Great Leap.

Phideaux is now back with a new album and back on stage with his full band. This group of ten musicians is comprised of many childhood friends and comrades who have played on his more recent albums. Together, the band tackles a kaleidoscope of haunting vocals, multiple keyboards and upbeat, intricate, rock music.

The group is comprised of:

Phideaux Xavier – Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Ariel Farber – Vocals, Violin
Valerie Gracious – Lead Vocals, Piano
“Bloody” Rich Hutchins – Drums
Mathew Kennedy – Bass Guitar
Gabriel Moffat – Electric Guitar
Molly Ruttan – Vocals, Percussion
Linda Ruttan-Moldawsky – Vocals, Sound Effects
Mark Sherkus – Keyboards
Johnny Unicorn – Keyboards, Sax, Vocals

The new double album, “Infernal”, is the final and eagerly awaited chapter in Phideaux’s trilogy, and a fitting finale to his carefully crafted “eco terror tale”. Phideaux and his band have played several festivals since the release of Doomsday, including RoSfest (US), Summer’s End (UK), Crescendo (France), Terra Incognita (Canada), and 3RP (US). Other recent album releases have included “Number Seven” and “Snowtorch”.

While widely considered progressive rock, Phideaux’s music is difficult to

categorize. It has been called cryptic, mysterious and frightening, as well as playful, melodic, and mischievous. Whether it’s progressive, art or psychedelic rock, Phideaux consistently pushes musical boundaries and defies genre.

Join Phideaux and his cohorts as they celebrate the cinematic sounds of the Doomsday Afternoon trilogy live in 2019.
