For Immediate Release William Shatner To Perform His New Album 'Ponder the Mystery' With Prog Rock Group Circa: featuring Billy Sherwood and Tony Kaye formerly of YES Los Angeles, CA – William Shatner will be performing his new record Ponder the Mystery in its entirety along with the progressive rock heroes Circa: featuring Billy Sherwood, who produced and co-wrote Ponder the Mystery with Shatner, and Tony Kaye both former members of the legendary prog rock band YES. William Shatner is a film and TV icon with an intense passion for music which has yielded several solo records including the critically acclaimed Seeking Major Tom. This most recent solo record, Ponder the Mystery, which includes guest artists from the prog and fusion genres such as Rick Wakeman, Al DiMeola, Steve Vai, Robbie Krieger, Vince Gill, Edgar Winter, George Duke, Zoot Horn Rollo and Dave Koz to name a few), expands Shatner’s musical horizons due to the fact that all of the songs are original, written by Shatner and his musical partner in the project Billy Sherwood. The album will be released on both CD and vinyl on October 8, 2013. This partnership of Shatner and Sherwood has created a vast and expansive artistic landscape for Shatner’s amazing gift of poetry while Sherwood composed the musical backdrop. The record is conceptual in nature: following a man in despair through the setting sun, twilight and finally darkness, and in the process, regains his joy of life. Both Bills had a vision of taking the record to the stage and performing it live. When it came time to form the band for this event, Circa: was the obvious choice, Sherwood and Kaye have had a long running musical relationship playing on stage together with YES and forming Circa: in 2006. Circa: recently released a new album Live From Here There and Everywhere. Performance dates and locations: Wednesday, October 23, 2013: Saint Rocke, 142 E.

More than anything, this sounds like a joke.......be that a good one I've never familiarised myself with Shatner's work outside of Star Trek, Agent Catwalk and Rescue 911 - but maybe this upcoming release will be my first foray into his musical aspirations. Who knows.Gotta say, after listening to that clip provided by Ze Crimson King - he does come across pretty awkwardly. Maybe that's a cool thing, I'm not sure. I do have thing for bad taste and kitschy stuff though. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Well I'm quite certain that a fair few members of PA think of my tastes in music as being horrendous. Whatevs - we can't all be listening to the same stuff. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

That's it? Thread died? I just listened to the album and like Has Been , its a nice ride. Nothing earth shaking, but the music is tasty, and Shatner is always fun to hear. If you haven't yet, check it out. |

I can get behind I Can't Get Behind That  I think it's great that Shatner is a prog rock fan, but... ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

As to William Shatner: Everyone knows him as Captain Kirk, but did you know he played alongside the recently deceased Maximilian Schell in "Trial at Nuremberg" (Shell got an Oscar for his performance in that movie)?
