Hey all,

Just wanted to share with anyone interested, in celebration of 25 years as a band and 20 years since our first album, Farpoint has a new album coming out soon and we have shared a song in...

Haha. :D True.
Or kind of like King Crimson with "Starless" NOT on the STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK album.

I like the sound of the new song, and am excited about the album. I was shocked to hear that he already had a new album on the way, then even MORE shocked to realize that it's been 3 yeas since THE...

Oh no. Another hero gone. So thankful I got to see him perform many times. So incredibly sorry to hear this. Prayers and condolences to his loved ones.

Man, I'd love to see this show. What a great lineup of musicians! I've watched several videos online. But it doesn't look like they are coming close enough for me to make it. Maybe one day.

The music of Vangelis left a permanent imprint on my life since the mid eighties. So sad that he's left us. So many of my musical heroes are departing.

Sad to hear, but as others have said, not terribly surprising. Best wishes to Alan. I'm thankful that I got to see him perform with Yes 8 or 9 times over the years. I'll always cherish those memories...

A couple of videos I made for the new release. The first deals with my passion for collecting Native American artifacts, and the second is a tribute to one of my all time favorite songwriters. Hope...

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy what you hear, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Sounds really good! Very well done. Interested to hear more!

Sorry for another dose of shameless self promo, but I have recently released what I think may be my favorite album I've ever released, and I'm excited to share it. The group is called the Green Swamp...

Oops. I mean, "thirded!" :)
Heck, I'll just say I'm with you fellers.
It's such a high energy album with a ton of feeling. I never really get tired of it.

Seconded!

Huge shoes to fill, but good news nonetheless. I'm hopeful for good things!

Sorry to self-promote, but Farpoint's 4th album COLD STAR QUIET STAR is a sci-fi concept album, although granted the story is somewhat obscure.
...

Oh no. So terribly sorry to hear this. Prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

Not prog, but my new folk/Americana album THE GREEN SWAMP COLLECTIVE is now available there, if anyone's interested. I've had a couple of folks so far tell me it's the best thing I've released to...

I listened to a few songs. Well done! Sounds really good. I’ll try to come back and check out more soon!

For any who may be interested, the song is now officially released pretty much everywhere:

YouTube:...

Thanks so much, Lou!

Curious, which organization did you donate to? There are SO many options, and I'm sure most are good, but I'm open to others' input.

That is actually the plan, but I am currently researching options as I want to make sure that my donation goes to the best possible organization to make sure as much of it as possible gets to the...

Many thanks, Jed. It was cathartic, although it still feels very small. I wish there was something I could really do to stop the killing or ease the pain.

Thanks so much! I should have it released on all platforms in about a week or so.

I wrote a song in support of those suffering in Ukraine. I know it won't ease their suffering, but perhaps it will help remind us to think of those less fortunate, and to be thankful for the...

So as I have been watching the news, and feeling my heart break over and over for the people of Ukraine, I did what I usually do and wrote a song for them. I know, it won't ease their suffering, but...

Yep...That one's pretty cool as well!

Yes, thanks for sharing that one! I enjoyed it as well, although the "growly" vocal is maybe a bit much for me...Thankfully they kept it pretty subtle! My favorite I've heard is still "We Three...

Thanks so much Ken! I really appreciate the kind words. Yeah, From the Morning is my folk outlet...Acoustic guitar is my primary instrument there although I augment that with bass and occasional...

I just recently discovered some awesome new music by a couple of brothers originally from my own hometown. They are called the Bethlehem Cowboys and they do prog or prog-metal arrangements of...

Ken, thank you so much! I appreciate it more than words can say, and I hope you enjoy the music! And let me know what you think of the music. I would be interested to hear the thoughts of such an...

Uh oh...
I don't mean to derail your thread, so this is the last mention I'll make of my Christmas music. :) When I put those FtM songs out I did put them for free the years I released them as...

You know, I was late to the game of finding BBT, but when I did, I think I spent about 2 or 3 weeks listening to nothing else. All I've really heard is the Longdon era stuff, and it's just so...

Fair enough. I will admit that it was more poignant in this setting than it has ever been before for me. Just still not an all time favorite. But I totally get where you are coming from.

That was a real whiplash transition but I absolutely LOVED it!

I’m with you on this. I love “Domino” as well, and it was a bit loose and Phil seemed to stumble over a few words, but I can easily forgive it. 🙂

So after a day of reflection, here are a few thoughts on the show. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Phil didn’t hit all the high notes but was stronger than I expected based on what...

Agreed 100 percent! I'm so glad I went! No time right now for a full review now but I'll try to get to it this afternoon.

Thanks Ken! I'm just saying the truth. I've been a fan of your music ever since I was intrigued by an interview in (I believe) Progression Magazine years ago and checked out one of your solo albums....

One further addendum: Last year apparently I forgot to update this link, but I compiled all of the single songs released by my duo From the Morning, along with a couple more carols and 2 original...

Thank you Renate, as always! :)

Thank you SO MUCH! And I hope you have a great holiday as well!
I should add that most of the links above are no longer valid, as CDBaby closed their store a couple of years ago. But pretty much...

Heading out the door now for the show! Can't wait!

Oh No! What horrible news! Prayers and condolences for all who knew him. :(

I've listened several times and I really like what I hear. Well done, Ken!

Another addition for this Christmas:

For anyone interested, this one also features my Farpoint bandmate Jennifer (Meeks)...

Wow, you got good seats! We are in 224...Stage left and up high. But I'm not complaining! :)

:( Sorry Bill. Wish you could too. I'm only going as the result of a serendipitous near miracle.

How cool is that?! What section are you sitting in?

Next Saturday, the 20th. I will definitely give a report! But, as is usually my mindset, I am expecting to thoroughly enjoy it! 🙂

So a friend who can’t make it to the show just offered me his tickets at basically half of face value. (pun intended?) How could I say no? Never thought I’d get a chance to see Genesis live. Can’t...

I swear my music gets LESS plays on Bandcamp Fridays than on normal days! 😂

I was sorry to learn last night that Pete Jorgensen (also known as Phoen1x) of the SC prog band Vertical Alignment passed away last week. I knew he had been facing some health issues but didn't...

I’m interested to hear this, and proud that he (or whoever made the decision) embraces the fact that it’s a “prog” album in the title. 🙂

Wish I could be there, Mike. Hope y’all have a great couple of shows…I know you will!

Same here! Going to check this out as soon as I get a chance!

Very informative, thorough and seemingly balanced review. I have already pre-ordered the CD through my local brick and mortar store, and I'm looking forward to it. Your review seems pretty much what...

Hey all,

I swear I hate to do this again, but I'm basically left with no choice.

I distribute all of my music through CDBaby, which used to be a great company. Unfortunately, ever since Derek...
