Thanks for playing a couple of Farpoint tracks! We truly appreciate it!

very cool news. Look forward to this. Wonder what the title initialism stands for. We may never know.

This sounds quite fascinating. I look forward to reading it one day.

I don't mind improvisation or taking a new approach to a song as long as 2 things are met: First, that it still fits the mood and atmostphere (and key and rhythm!) of the song, and second, that any...

So, this might not be of interest to most here, but it made my night...Last night a local FM radio station, WUSC from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, played a short "prog" segment...

Listening now. Sounds great! I definitely hear the early PF influence.

Hey again all. Well I'll keep this short and sweet...To continue with our 25th anniversary celebration, Farpoint is pleased to announce the release of LIVE UNDER THE AUTUMN SKY, a show from November,...

I know it's been years since this question was asked, and weeks since the last reply, but what the heck...I generally release 1-2 albums plus a single or two per year, with a variety of different...

Very cool! Sounds like y'all had a great show. And kudos for supporting an important cause!

Thanks Mike! :)

Awesome news, Mike. Congrats on the shows, especially the UK one. You have worked so hard and passionately and you deserve this. Knock 'em dead.

Hey all. Just thought I'd try something that might be fun. I'm limiting this offer to PE for right now, but if no one is interested I might try it somewhere else. So anyway, here's the contest: The...

Thanks so much Lou! I really appreciate you giving it a listen, and the kind words. I'm fascinated by the comparisons to MTB. I hear that often, and while I do like their music, I'm surprised to hear...

Likewise, Steve! It looks rather unlikely this year, but maybe next year! I've missed being a regular attendee like I used to be.

Wish I could make it this year. Would love to see Nektar, and the others all sound interesting.

I've seen Kansas probably 10 times and they never disappoint. At least, not since they've begun doing shows longer than an hour! :) Regardless, their performances are always tight and high-energy.
I...

That was quite a lovely and captivating piece of music. I'm interested to hear more.

Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for that detailed analysis and wonderfully complimentary review. I can tell you really listened, and that's incredibly gratifying. You picked up on some things that I wasn't...

I would like to humbly put forth my good friend and bandmate in several bands, Jennifer Weich. She isn't Farpoint's only lead singer, but she usually sings lead on a couple songs per album. She's...

Thanks for playing some new Farpoint! :):up

Here's another one some may enjoy. It's probably the strangest song we've ever released. This one was inspired by a docu-drama about the colonization of Mars.

...

Oh yeah, one more thing...Here's the song I think the proggers might most appreciate:

It's official! The new album is now officially out everywhere! Many thanks in advance to those who purchased via BandCamp. The album is now available on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and pretty...

Wow. Thanks so very much! We really truly appreciate the support. So far the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Would love to hear your thoughts when you get a chance!

Many thanks! So far, so good! :)

I just gave a listen to several songs. Interesting stuff, and quite diverse from song to song. Well done!

So glad to hear that ProgDay is still kicking. I have so many wonderful memories from my years attending that festival, going back to my first one in '98. Long live ProgDay!

Thank you SO MUCH for listening, for the kind words, and for the support! We appreciate it so very much, and I hope you enjoy the album. Would love to hear your thoughts on it once you've had some...

Very cool news! Glad to see that you guys are back at it!

Thanks so much for the comments, guys. We are pretty excited about it. Here are a couple of updates:
First of all, the album is available today to download or purchase as a CD on BandCamp. It will...

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!
