Press Release
CalProg is pleased to announce Echolyn as the first
artist confirmed to appear at CalProg 2008 on October 11 in
Whittier
,
California
. The
Pennsylvania
based quintet has not appeared in
California
since ProgFest ’94, and it is our distinct pleasure to welcome them back this
year. We have been talking to Brett Kull (one of the founding members) for the
last few years about getting them out here but were never able to make our
schedules align. But with CalProg’s move from the festival-congested
spring/summer timeframe to the fall this year, we were finally able to make it
all come together.
Echolyn’s first album was released in 1991 and
since then they have had 9 studio releases, 2 “Official Live Bootleg” CDs,
and a powerful DVD (released in 2004). They have embodied the term Progressive
in their music, showing a willingness to experiment both musically and lyrically
in a sound that is distinctively unique and yet recognizably their own.
We know
that the CalProg audience will embrace this veteran band that has been so
prominent to the progressive rock movement. In a time that progressive music
seems to be dominated by bands from overseas, we are especially proud to be able
to present a true American original… ECHOLYN!
