Dark Beauty is proud to return to ProgStock, the place where they had their first full live band performance in 2018. While the band fits comfortably within the progressive rock world, elements of pop, dance, opera and heavy classic rock are all part of the mix. The songs are complex and rich, with a focus on memorable melodies, story-based lyrics, lean orchestrated instrumental sections, and more expansive opportunities for the individual musicians to shine.

The band was formed to record a three-album cycle telling the tale of Liz’s original character The Dark Angel, her fall from grace and hopeful redemption. The second album in the cycle, Between Sixes and Sevens, will be released on Halloween of 2021, and selections from it will be part of the band’s set at ProgStock. Liz takes on the role of The Dark Angel while performing, and the character changes from meek to powerful as the story progresses. While she’s passionate about the music, Liz says “it’s really all about the story. I want to pull the audience into The Dark Angel’s world.”

Dark Beauty is excited to be literally sharing the stage their friends Potter’s Daughter, as Dyanne Potter Voegtlin and Jan-Christian Vögtlin will be performing with Dark Beauty on keyboards and bass guitar. The lineup is rounded out by special guest Mark DeGregory on drums, and longtime collaborator Lou Tambone on percussion.
