Progressive Tracks Show #258 (SeaProg Festival Preview #1), originally broadcast on Saturday, April 21, 2018, is now available to download or listen to anytime you desire.
Oh boy, oh boy! It’s that time of year when the sweet strains of Avant Prog fill the streets of Seattle… or at least the streets in the Columbia City neighborhood.
And as is tradition (5 years is tradition, right?), The Progressive Tracks Show is uniquely poised to prepare you for the experience that is The Seattle Festival of Avant and Progressive Rock (SeaProg) 2018.
The plan is to feature a few SeaProg bands each week leading to the festival’s start on June 1st. And this year you’ll hear a bit from the artists themselves… mini ‘interviews’ if you will… that will give you a welcome break from all my talking. ;o)
This week we’ll highlight some bands from this region that will impress! Are you up for that? If so… go grab your old SeaProg t-shirt from the closet and your favorite beverage from the fridge, sit back, and prepare to be prepared.

Progressive Tracks Show #256 (Always Eclectic), originally broadcast on Saturday, April 7, 2018, is now available to download or listen to anytime you desire.
Now I love classic progressive/art rock as much as anyone… but one of the things I love to do with The Progressive Tracks Show is to introduce listeners to music they haven’t heard before.
Sometimes that quest takes me into some interesting territory, and if I combine that with music you may have heard… well, can anyone say “eclectic”?
