CalProg 2007 will be held in Whittier, California on May 19. So far on the bill are Puppet Show and Frogg Cafe. We have also just confirmed Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) and Rod Morgenstein (Dixie Dregs). There is one slot left to still be announced.

The seed was planted for the Rudess/Morgenstein Project one evening at a sold out Dixie Dregs performance in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In the middle of the set, a power failure shut down the guitar, bass and violin rigs leaving only the keyboards and drums unaffected. Disaster seemed imminent. What followed instead was a blistering, ten minute drum/keyboard power-duo jam which brought down the house. This event marked the beginning of a unique musical collaboration between keyboard virtuoso Jordan Rudess and drumming legend Rod Morgenstein.
