New CT Prog Festival Coming July 19th
Connecticut will finally have a Prog Rock festival of its own! Marred Productions is pleased to announce the coming of MARPROG ‘09, the first of what is hoped to be many more annual events featuring the finest of the Prog Rock world from in and around Connecticut. The show is scheduled to be held at Toad’s Place, 300 York St. in New Haven, on July 19th, 2009. Doors open at 12:30 PM and music starts at 1:00 PM. The five bands (in order of appearance) are Brett Bottomley’s Toy Masheen, IZZ, Helmet of Gnats, Advent, and Holding Pattern. The event will take place throughout the afternoon and last into the early evening, and is expected to be an excellent representation of what the area has to offer in the genre of original Progressive Rock. Tickets are now on sale at: http://tinyurl.com/marprog09tix for $27.50 (plus nominal ticket fee) in advance and $30 at the door on the day of performance. Please plan to join us and help make this inaugural event a rousing success!
If the line up is not set, you should look into CT’s own Mile Marker Zero for the lineup.
This year is set but Mile Marker can submit for next year’s festival at the Marprog website http://www.marprog.com. Use the email link at the bottom of the home page.
Thanks! MAR
