I don't remember the specific conversations for the most part. I think you were talking to the woman at the Anglagard table and she was trying to tell you how complex Anglagard was while still trying to maintain your interest. Or maybe that was someone else.

As I said, the two of us had a handful of chats. The longest one along with the fine man behind the Romantic Warrior movies, one or two outside the venue and a couple or possible three at the parties. So I do recall them, and you :-)

Maybe you don't remember but we actually did meet and talk for a bit. I know it can get confusing trying to remember who was who. Sorry about your ankle.

Yeah. Didn't have the time I would have liked to talk to you, alongside many others. Friday's extended walking, standing and partying left me with a gnawing ache going to pain in the ankle I broke a few months back, so spent a bit more time than usual backstage due to that. It was fun though, as usual.

 yeah you aren't going to see PA's group pictures taken at festivals like you did with ProgEars. That is primarily a US-centric group.. obviously this site is larger, more international thus more scattered and diverse.
|
Well, PE doesn't do group pictures at Rosfest either. Afaik, they never have. They used to do that at Nearfest but I think maybe it's because the PE crowd is more into avant over all. Those prog elitists. ;) The members from the internet radio station aural moon(of which I am a member)used to a group photo shoot at Rosfest but there have been fewer of us there over the past few years so they haven't done one in a while. Oh well. I think these days most people just want to do selfies with band members instead.
Anyway, it was very good to meet you Windhawk!

I'm the guy on the right here. Without a suit, but should be recognizable still.

Cool. I'll be wearing a Rosfest shirt and then a Yes shirt later. That's right. I have so many shirts I wear one under the other. Lol.

I can not say really. But I go mainly for the people. Visiting good friends the week before, and then seeing more friends at the festival. Just back from a pre-festival get together right now. Looking forward to seeing good friends tomorrow and for the rest of the weekend.

I'll be there this year. I'll look for you. I'm tall and bald with glasses and I'll be in the balcony. It should be a lot of fun. More people from this site need to check out Rosfest.

As has been the case for the last 4 years, I'll be at this year's ROSfest. If anyone wants to say hi, look for a fairly burly 6f3 guy with beard and glasses, wearing a suit. I tend to be the only one in the audience in that specific category.

Swedish band MOON SAFARI to headline at ROSfest 2017
It is not customary for us to bring back bands that have played here
on numerous occasions before, but Moon Safari is one of those bands that
really makes a strong impression. They blew us way in 2009, even more
so in 2011, and as six years have passed since they played here last so
we found that it was a good idea to bring them back again now. They are a
solid band, a high quality live unit, and has the stature required to
be a headliner. We know that many people will be extremely happy so see
their name on the roster again for 2017, eagerly waiting to yet again
hear their impressive, positive and uplifting take on contemporary
progressive rock. And as they have been working on a new album for some
time now, tentatively called "Himlabacken II", we might expect this one
to be ready in time for ROSfest as well.
We know that for some of
our audience, it is difficult to make it to the Friday night event, but
with Moon Safari as the headliner, we are certain that quite a few will
make an extra effort to get here in time for a full weekend stay. A
beautiful experience is coming our way on May the 5th of 2017, and a
guaranteed contender for the best ever ROSfest concert!

US band Evership announced for ROSfest 2017 Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, this is a band formed around the
talents of composer and musician Shane Atkinson. Although an active
presence in the music scene in the 1990's, Shane took an extended break
away from music but found himself steadily writing new material.
Eventually, he concluded that he really had a solid need to record and
release these compositions in a proper manner. He managed to solidify
this project into a genuine band venture in 2016, after developing it
slowly over a number of years. In July, he self-released the Evership
CD, a production that has received high praise from both regular fans in
the know and progressive rock insiders. The live band to perform
at ROSfest 2017 consists of Shane Atkinson (keyboards, background
vocals), Beau West (vocals), James Atkinson (guitars), Jaymi Millard
(bass, pedals, background vocals), Jesse Hardin (guitars, background
vocals), and Joel Grumblatt (drums, background vocals). We expect quite
the experience from this band, set to play second on Sunday, especially
for those who enjoy epic length songs, plenty of keyboard leads, and a
band that follow in the footsteps of the accessible symphonic
progressive rock bands of the 1970's. Made in the USA is still a
quality trademark, and as far as progressive rock is concerned Evership
is one of the many recent bands to appear that documents this quality
firmly and with distinction.

UK band KYROS returns to ROSfest in 2017 We're very happy to
announce the return of UK band KYROS to ROSfest for 2017! For those of
you who don't recognize the band name, they performed with us as
Synaesthesia in 2015. This young British band went down a storm
when they played for us in 2015, both their music as well as their
performance making them one of the standout bands of the festival. Not
too long after their ROSfest appearance, the band chose to sever ties
with their record label, subsequently releasing an EP that marked both
their transition between band names as well as their first independently
released production. Come 2016, KYROS returned with the double
album "Vox Humana," opting to again release independently. Fans and
critics alike have been heralding its superior quality, and when we had
the chance to book them for ROSfest 2017 we jumped at the opportunity.
We said that this was a band that would be going places when we booked
them the first time around, and from what we can see and hear that
prediction is as sound in 2017 as it was in 2015. Adam Warne,
Sam Higgins, Joey Frevola, Robin Johnson, and Peter Episcopo are a very
talented group of young men that together form KYROS. We have selected
them to play on the first slot on Friday, to open the festival in 2017.

US tribute band ProgNation signed to perform at ROSfest 2017
We’re happy to announce that US tribute band ProgNation have been signed as the Friday night After Hours band, where they will entertain us at the traditional party at the Aspire Hotel from 11:30 pm to 1:30 am on Friday, May 5th.
Created in 2015, the band provided the best explanation for their formation via a press release: “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that they have once again disrespected prog rock pioneers, YES, by failing to garner the required votes to enshrine the iconic band even though they finished second to Chicago in the fan balloting. In response, we are announcing the creation of a new tribute band, ProgNation, to celebrate the accomplishments of some of the greatest prog rock bands/musicians currently being ignored by the Rock Hall.”
The members of ProgNation are Chris Cuda (guitars), Tony Cuda (bass), Steve Kolesar (vocals), Bruce Kowalski (Keyboards/Vocals), and Marty Zlocki (drums). To quote further from their initial press release: “Everyone in ProgNation has been a fan of prog rock since Yes came out in 1968. ProgNation will be an outlet for us and all the fans who know how great these musicians are and want to enjoy their music in a live setting. We also want to send a message to the Rock Hall that until they recognize Yes and all the other prog rock bands they have ignored, we will be there to remind them of their neglect.”
So we can expect a dedicated band to entertain us at the Friday Night After Hours party at Rosfest 2017. As for the music one can expect to hear from them, their repertoire includes Yes, King Crimson, ELP, the Moody Blues, Genesis, and a handful of other prog acts from the late ’60s/early ’70s
