216: Shadow Circus & Jon Anderson

In the first part of this show, Tony and Dave take a look at U.S. band Shadow Circus! Guitarist and keyboardist John Fontana and vocalist David Bobick front this group which is sure to appeal to fans of traditional, Symphonic Prog and Heavy Prog! John also provided answers to the standard Prog-Watch questions, so you can get a little insight into the creative processes that lead to the music of Shadow Circus. In the second half of the show, the guys begin coverage on another Prog legend, Jon Anderson! Jon is, of course, the classic voice of Yes, and has more than 20 solo albums to his name! On this show the guys cover his first two albums—the epic “Olias Of Sunhillow” and his second “Song Of Seven”. Obviously, more of Jon will follow!

Music with some meat to it!
