ProgDay is thrilled to announce the addition of MIRTHRANDIR to this year’s lineup.  With a style in the tradition of classic symphonic, melodic, driving progressive rock, the band also features a unique twin lead guitar attack that allows for added complexity and density.  

The band formed back in the early 70’s and released “For You The Old Women” in 1976, generally ranked as one of the top American progressive rock albums of the time.  For a while it looked like MIRTHRANDIR would join the top tier of U.S. based progressive rock acts, but unfortunately the band broke up before that happened.  

Reunited in the new millennium, critically acclaimed performances at the New Jersey Proghouse, Baja Progressive Rock Festival, and The Rights Of Spring Festival have gained the band a whole new generation of fans.  ProgDay is proud to welcome this classic ensemble to the Storybook stage.

ProgDay, the world’s longest running progressive rock festival, takes place this year on August 30th and 31st at Storybook Farm near Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  Other bands announced so far are Ain Soph (Japan), Canvas Solaris (US), CHEER-ACCIDENT (US), Holding Pattern (US), VonFrickle (US) and Abigail's Ghost (US).  To hear music and get information about all the bands, please visit our website at www.progday. com.

	ProgDay Announces PINNACLE! ProgDay is pleased to announce Pennsylvania based PINNACLE for ProgDay 2008. PINNACLE first formed in 1997 when guitarist/vocalist KARL EISENHART met drummer GREG JONES and they began performing together as DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS and later as LANDSLIDE. After several lineup changes, multi-instrumentalist BILL FOX became the magic third person they needed to complete the band. PINNACLE’s musical goal is to write accessible songs that are firmly rooted in the best progressive rock traditions. Both vocal and instrumental tracks are featured on the band’s two albums, “A Man’s Reach” (2003) and “Meld” (2006). PINNACLE's live shows have underscored their place as one of the best up and coming symphonic bands in the US, including their performance at PROGOCTOBERFEST in Saratoga, New York, and a headlining appearance at THE NEW JERSEY PROGHOUSE. PINNACLE are sure to please with their modern take on classic progressive rock. ProgDay, the world’s longest running progressive rock festival, takes place this year on August 30th and 31st at Storybook Farm near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Other bands announced so far are Ain Soph (Japan), Canvas Solaris (US), CHEER-ACCIDENT (US), Holding Pattern (US), VonFrickle (US), Abigail's Ghost (US) and Mirthrandir (US). One more band to be announced. To hear music and get information about all the bands, please visit our website at www.progday.com.

	ProgDay is happy to announce the performance of two great bands. On Friday night, August 29, LOCAL 506 in Chapel Hill will be hosting KINETIC ELEMENT and SPEECHLESS. Led by "Mad Organist" MIKE VISAGGIO, KINETIC ELEMENT is a keyboard based progressive rock trio that was originally formed to perform the music from "Starship Universe" (2006), a solo CD by Mike. The band continued to perform and write. Currently, in addition to "Starship Universe," the band's repertoire includes original material from their newest opus,"The Powered By Light Suite," as well as covers of selected classic prog tunes. SPEECHLESS is an instrumental mix of rock, jazz, classical, world, funk, metal... (pretty much everything the band members love) all tossed in a blender and shaken well. Their debut CD ranked #46 in the GAGLIARCHIVE' s Global Progressive Top 100 Poll of 2007, and in 2008 their song "Stella" was awarded "Best Progressive Rock Instrumental Indie Performance" by the PROGRESSIVE ROCK HALL OF FAME. ProgDay, the world’s longest running progressive rock festival, takes place this year on August 30th and 31st at Storybook Farm near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Bands this year are Secret Oyster (Denmark), Ain Soph (Japan), Canvas Solaris (US), CHEER-ACCIDENT (US), Holding Pattern (US), VonFrickle (US), Abigail's Ghost (US), Mirthrandir (US) and Pinnacle (US).
