 <\/p>\n

Orpheus Nine is delighted to return to ProgStock! The New Jersey quartet previously opened 2018’s event with an “electrifying and engaging” set that Proglodytes called the “perfect way to start a prog festival.”<\/p>\n

O9 evolved from a solo project by keyboardist and lead singer Jason Kresge, who in 2005 teamed up with co-founding drummer Daniel Nydick. The current lineup is a full decade strong and features Kresge, guitarist Matt Ullestad, bassist Tony Renda, and drummer Mark DeGregory.<\/p>\n

2017 welcomed the band’s debut album, Transcendental Circus<\/em>. “Symphonic American progressive rock rarely sounds as good as this,” wrote Kev Rowland, author of The Progressive Underground<\/em>. PROG Magazine’s Dom Lawson agreed, declaring that “Orpheus Nine are among the best bands ploughing this ageless furrow.”<\/p>\n

Transcendental Circus<\/em> graced the top 20 on ProgArchives.com and earned an Independent Prog Award (IPA) nomination from Friday Night Progressive. Its centerpiece, the nearly-22-minute title suite, was played live in its entirety for the first time at ProgStock 2018.<\/p>\n

Jason, Matt, Tony, and Mark are hard at work on their ambitious follow-up: an epic concept album to be released in two acts. Prepare to hear much of Act 1 at ProgStock 2022!<\/p>\n

Band Lineup<\/strong>
\nJason Kresge – keyboards, lead vocals
\nMatt Ullestad – guitars
\nTony Renda – bass, backing vocals
\nMark DeGregory – drums, percussion, backing vocals<\/p>\n
