ProgNation/The Rick Ray Band

Formed in 2015 as a protest against the inclusion of prog rock bands into the Rock Hall, Prog Nation plays music inspired by the prog acts of the late '60s and early '70s. The group features locals Tony and Chris Cuda, the bassist and guitarist from the local prog/jazz group, CuDa, KrishNa & CuDa. In addition, it also includes singer Steve Kolesar (Rockin Ravers, ex-Champion), drummer Marty Zlocki (Time Traveler, ex-Fayerweather) and keyboardist Dan Maier (ex-Phillip Glass). Expect to hear tracks from Yes, King Crimson, ELP, the Moody Blues, Genesis and a handful of other prog acts at tonight's show. Local guitar hero Rick Ray opens. (Niesel)
