Classic Rock & PROG meets Alternative & Cinematic Moods on NEW ALBUM feat. Steve Hackett (Genesis), Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd) & more!
Dave is already featured in this part of the forum due to his other ongoing project with Heather Findlay (Mantra Vega: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=98253). 

He was also heavily involved in the Sound Of Contact 'Dimensionaut' album.

This solo project is being financed by a (successful, and already closed) Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davekerzner/new-world-a-progressive-rock-album-by-dave-kerzner.

"I’m Dave Kerzner, also known by my nickname “Squids”. “New World” is my first solo album after splitting with award-winning Progressive Rock band “Sound of Contact”. My new Prog record brings classic rock elements of the 60s and 70s into a modern musical soundscape. New World is a concept album done in two versions, a standard edition with over 70 minutes of music and a deluxe double disc extended edition with over 140 minutes of theatrical, rich and picturesque music to dig into! The subject matter of the storyline deals with the journey of human emotions from the darkness of facing your demons to rising above the obstacles that hold us back in life." 
"All of the lyrics and music are written, produced and sung by me and I am joined by some amazing special guests such as Steve Hackett (Genesis), Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd), Francis Dunnery (It Bites), Nick D’Virgilio (Tears for Fears, Big Big Train), Jason Scheff (Chicago), David Longdon (Big Big Train), Fernando Perdomo, Heather Findlay (Mantra Vega, Mostly Autumn), Adam Gaynor (Matchbox 20), Ana Cristina and more!"

	I heard the track Stranded on Planet Rock Radio a few days ago. It sounds good. Keith Emerson and his son Damon were hosting the show 'One Man And His Prog' as a one off and he is recommending this strongly. BTW shouldn't this be in 'Prog News' ?

	Dave Kerzner as a solo artist isn't on the site yet, nor is his other new project 'Mantra Vega'. Sound of Contact is on the site, so he has links with one band who are approved as prog...but technically because he isn't in the database as himself as yet, his new project should be posted here rather than in Prog News, which is an area forum which should only be used for bands/artists who are already on the site. I'd much rather have posted this in 'Prog News', since it would get about twenty times as many views as it will here...but there's a strong likelihood it would have been moved back here anyway by admins if I had - for the reason given above. Gonna be a good Crossover Prog album, is this...Should be an easy addition eventually.

	Don't get me started on the whole moving threads thing I struggled to find anything about this album mainly because I mispelt Kerzners name as 'Kirschner' in my initial searches. Eventually I went to Steve Hackett's website to find a link and got the correct name! Keith Emerson admitted he knows Kerzner personally but was quick to stress this is not the reason for recommending it. I note that he does not make a guest appearance so he doesn't have a personal vested interest in the project from that point of view. Dave Kerzner does seems well connected in the prog world looking at the people involved so maybe Prog related would be okay but Crossover would be fine as well.
