ProgDay 2007 Announces Advent

ProgDay is pleased to welcome the New Jersey based prog rock stylings of Advent to the Storybook Farm stage. Advent was formed in 1989. They released their self titled debut album to rave reviews in 1997. It would be a long gap until the band's sophomore release in 2005, but it would be worth the wait. The album, Cantus Firmus, drew superlative reviews from the progressive rock press and more mainstream publications like Guitar Player magazine.



The band describes their music as a contemporary sound with an extensive variety of influences solidly rooted in western musical sources, whether they be folk, classical-romantic, or popular. Their lyrics range from reflective to the mysterious, complimented by a descriptive "cinematic" musical style. Advent plan to enter the studio in the near future to begin work on their 3rd release. We are thrilled to be able to welcome Advent to the ProgDay stage. Check out the Advent website at: http://www.adventmusic.net/.

Advent joins Qoph and 6 other bands to be announced.

ProgDay takes place at Storybook Farm near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Sept 1st and 2nd, 2007. For more information visit the ProgDay web site at http://www.progday.net.
