Nektar continues U.S. ‘Vinyl Sides Live’ Tour with April dates

There’s still plenty of chances to catch prog-rock pioneers Nektar on their “Vinyl Sides Live” Tour in April!

Nektar changes their live show every night; and their renowned light show/visual environment has been updated and fully digitized – creating the ultimate Music & Light Theatre!

Here’s their April schedule:

MARCH 31-APRIL 2 WILDEY THEATRE EDWARDSVILLE IL
APRIL 3 KNUCKLEHEADS KANSAS CITY MO

For more than 50 years, Nektar has taken legions of fans on audio-visual journeys to far reaches of the universe and the depths of the ocean with their immersive blend of sight and sound.

During the height of the pandemic, when touring had to be postponed, the band made the most of their ‘down time’ by preparing for this upcoming tour, adding another 90 minutes of music to the 3 hours of repertoire they performed on the previous tour in early 2020.

Nektar has captured the imagination and admiration of listeners the world over with their multi-media concerts, melding a jam-band vibe with superb musicality and a visual cornucopia that perfectly complements the performance.

Formed in Germany in 1969 by British expats, Nektar soaked up the musical freedom they found in their new home, favoring extended compositions and concept albums over the constraints of pop. They were among the progenitors of the progressive rock movement of the 1970s as well as the jam-band scene that arose in the late 1990s.

Currently, Nektar features three of the original members – Derek ‘Mo’ Moore (bass guitar, vocals), Ron Howden (drums, percussion, vocals) and Mick Brockett (visual environment). Ryche Chlanda (guitar, vocals) and Randy Dembo (bass guitar, bass pedals, 12-string guitar, vocals) are alums of previous Nektar incarnations. World-class multi-instrumentalist Kendall Scott completes the lineup on keyboards; his performance credits include Project/Object and Ryche Chlanda’s Flying Dreams. They are joined onstage by Maryann Castello on backing vocals.
