Prog-Watch 218
Dave is back this week for a look at two really great Prog acts! First up is the unique Prog stylings of IO Earth, a UK project headed by Dave Cureton and Adam Gough, who handle much of the composing and instrumental chores. They have a wide variety of influences and weave them together in a sophisticated and compelling manner which can only be called “Prog”! In the second half of the show, the guys go back for more of the great Steve Hackett! Don’t miss it…because as Dave may have said “It’s Steve Hackett!”
IO Earth is a UK band that seamlessly blends styles such as Rock, Ambient, Jazz, Classical, World, Dance, Celtic, Folk and Contemporary into an eclectic, pioneering sound! Website: ioearth.com 
What do you say about Steve Hackett? He’s STEVE HACKETT! Legendary guitarist who played with Genesis on some of their finest albums of both the Gabriel and Collins eras, he continues to put on excellent live concerts to this day, and has more than 30 solo albums to his name!
