If any serious fan of modern progressive rock music was asked to make a list of the top 5 most influential prog musicians of the last 10 years, Neal Morse would most certainly be on it. His work with Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Flying Colors and as a solo artist continue to set the bar higher and higher. I've probably seen Neal 10 times but I never get tired of it. And that's because he continues to deliver incredibly complex music mixed with soulful and melodic songs in a heartfelt and entertaining way. There's never any doubt that he LOVES to make music and his natural ability as a front man is second to none. You always feel uplifted and energized after one of his shows and for me, that's what its about.
 
He will be traveling with his new band that was chosen earlier this year from open auditions held in Nashville. World renowned drummer Mike Portnoy will be on board as well as long time bassist Randy George. And Neal has assembled a new band that features (from what I've heard from people that were at the auditions) a jaw-droppingly multi-talented bunch of musicians. The show will focus on material from the about-to-be-released "Momentum" album. According to Mike Portnoy "This new album may be the best prog I have EVER played!" And coming from Mike that's a heck of an endorsement. No matter what, this is sure to be a night of music that will stay with you for a long time.
