Are you in the Seattle/Tacoma area?
Clearly Beloved- Jan 16 @ Barboza (They are a great local prog/folk band with a bit of Avant thrown in)
Mike Stern & Eric Johnson- Feb 8 @ The Triple Door
There are a number of local bands doing really interesting music in Seattle/Tacoma right now. Most are not in the Symph style though, if you're tied to that.
Autumn Electric (the most symph band on the list mixed with indie/folk)
Moraine
Clearly Beloved
Mercury Tree (out of Portland, but they do play up here)
Midday Veil
Master Musicians of Bukkake (space-drone stuff)
There are a number more that I'm forgetting at the moment.
No festivals, but there are usually some pretty cool local shows in the winter months that will certainly cost less money than a plane ticket to Florida.
I just saw Mike Stern Sunday evening in DC. First live show for Dennis Chambers since whatever happened to him last year. He was good but didn't have the over the top bombastic rolls that he usually has. I was talking with him and wouldn't even have recognized him in the mall.

Andrea noticed this over coffee this morning. Too bad we found out about it a day too late. Very bummed to have missed something like this that took place so close by.Winter Prog 001.jpg
I wonder if it has ever been mentioned on this site. If it has I sure don't remember seeing anything about it. I know that if I was reading the newspaper while drinking my coffee and saw that I'd probably spit my coffee all over the paper because you very rarely see or hear prog mentioned off the internet.

Looks like a good one, too. http://www.regenttheatre.com/details..._showcase_2015
Zombie Frog, a ProgDay alumnus, was to play, but they are out and Mindset X is in.

I've always wondered this too. I think something over President's Day weekend would make sense. Cold as hell but 3 days off so no rushing home Sunday night needed and 3 months away from other festivals on either side of the date.
It just happened earlier this week. We got a poster promoting the show with ZF on it, then a couple of days later got a revised one with Mindset X. I don't know any of the details, apparently one of the band members had some sort of issue.
Two days to go, we're looking forward to it.

I'm psyched you guys are coming! We'll try not to disappoint.
We should be better than the Magic Room. Much as I loved playing there, we didn't have very good sound on the stage, so we struggled a lot at first. I think it got better as the show progressed. We'll have a good soundcheck before this gig, so I think it will be smoother.
Glad folks enjoyed the show anyway... it was a mixed bag for us.
