From a Baltimore based band that's shared the stage with other prog acts such as The Mercury Tree and Moon Letters. 

BALTIMORE, MD (Tuesday, October 10, 2023) – In a harmonious blend of music and imagination, Bardic Compass, a progressive rock outfit hailing from the United States, is gearing up for the release of their debut concept album, "Songs of The Caravan," slated for November 3.

"Similar to the Progressive Rock pioneers of the 70’s, we use the backdrop of epic fantasy and specifically more modern role-playing settings to tell deep and moving stories of self-realization, triumph through adversity, and heroic self-sacrifice inspired by the deeply personal reflection which interweaves itself both at the table and through the music," shares Bardic Compass drummer David Wilson.

This ambitious project takes its inspiration from the world of tabletop fantasy role-playing games, offering a unique perspective that mirrors the immersive storytelling experience of gamers. Through their music, Bardic Compass invites listeners to embark on a journey of relatable themes, skillfully intertwining elements from various genres, including pop punk, emo, blues, and even Latin jazz.

Notably versatile, the quartet seamlessly transitions from collaborations with established prog-rock acts like Seattle's Moon Letters to donning costumes and engaging in Live-Action Role Play (LARP) events. They will grace the stage at DARKON's annual feast and share their talents with the esteemed local renaissance-faire ensemble, Bard City.

With "Songs of The Caravan," Bardic Compass presents a compelling collection of 10 full-length tracks, each meticulously crafted to transport listeners into the immersive realm of tabletop roleplaying games, offering a musical journey that resonates with fans.

What sets Bardic Compass apart is their commitment to music education within their local communities. Each band member actively contributes to teaching music at the Lutherville Rock School, embodying their dedication to sharing the power of music with others.
