With a clear focus on melody and arrangement, over a bed of complex rhythm and harmony, their songs always keep your interest and never sound monotonous. They&#8217;ve released two CDs of material and are writing for a third. Recent highlights include multiple performances at the <i>New Jersey ProgHouse<\/i>, a show with world-renowned bassist <i>Stu Hamm<\/i>, a blistering 90-minute set at the <i>2016 ProgDay International Progressive Rock Festival<\/i>, a performance at the <i>2018 Progtoberfest Progressive Rock Festival <\/i>and a show at the historic <i>My Father\u2019s Place <\/i>on Long Island. Summer 2019 had them joining French Prog\/Fusion phenoms <i>M\u00f6rglbl <\/i>on their tour of the Northeastern US, while being featured in the <i>NY Post <\/i>as a tie-in to Brad Pitt\u2019s movie, which shares the band\u2019s name. In the meantime, AD ASTRA continues to book shows, while writing new material to showcase live, before hitting the studio for their highly anticipated third release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Band lineup:<\/strong><br \/>\nHarold Skeete &#8211; Bass<br \/>\nTony Savasta &#8211; Drums<br \/>\nEric Davis- Keyboards<br \/>\nJoe Nardulli &#8211; Guitar<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website and streaming links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adastraband.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.adastraband.com<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Spotify:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7uzi7dhZ2VAd3UKXZaDjD3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7uzi7dhZ2VAd3UKXZaDjD3<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Apple Music<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/album\/288548167\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/music.apple.com\/album\/288548167<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>YouTube<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kQNJaPK3LCErHd8hiu6cJ5ABhMjCAvUj4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kQNJaPK3LCErHd8hiu6cJ5ABhMjCAvUj4<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_345\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-345\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adastraband.com\/shop.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-345 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.progstock.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AdAstra-CoverWeb500x500.jpg\" alt=\"Ad Astra Album Cover\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.progstock.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AdAstra-CoverWeb500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.progstock.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AdAstra-CoverWeb500x500-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.progstock.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AdAstra-CoverWeb500x500-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-345\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ad Astra Album Cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; AD ASTRA is an Instrumental Progressive Rock\/Fusion band that has been active in the NYC\/Long Island music scene for over 10 years.
