Prog-Watch 513
This week I’m chatting with our old friend, Erik Norlander, mostly about his new project with John Payne called Dukes Of The Orient! We get the low down on the Dukes and some of Erik’s other endeavors, and along the way I spin plenty of great music, with an extra large helping of new Dukes Of The Orient music!
Keyboard maestro Erik Norlander is an American musician best known for his work in the Progressive Rock genre.
