"I want my music and lyrics to be heard, and most important to be understood. When I write, I go way down deep and talk about what I know. When somebody says to me that heard a certain song and it touched them, I am happy and the artiste in me is satisfied."

"If you put something of a high enough quality out into the world, there WILL be people out there with whom it resonates. That can lead to a wonderfully symbiotic relationship with people and places you would never have otherwise encountered."

District 97: Expect The Unexpected

Chicago prog rock band District 97 will be releasing a new live album…

"I think that rock music was, is and will continue to be intertwined with social, political and cultural movements and currents. Through them, the inspiration of rock artists emanates and then they communicate this inspiration to their audience, with the result that many people, through music, join them and shape their way of thinking. I think that will never change."

Theodoros Vlachakis: Rock n'…

"I guess that the 70’s were really important for the European jazz musicians to get recognized and to develop a thing of their own. The whole scene from the 60’s had opened a lot of doors: rock musicians got interested in jazz or free music (like me), classical musicians got interested in improvising, traditional jazz got mixed with R&B etc. This creative opening-up was important."

Christy Doran:…

"Music is the most powerful form of magic and has the power to change people. And people can change things... The problem is how the right music finds the right people and the fact that there is way too much information, and nobody can deal with all this flow... We are drowning in meaningless stuff and missing on important stuff that could change things... From that chaos the culture is being destroyed because it is falling to reach the right…

"The artist conveys the times in which we live onto canvas, or in musical composition. You would think there would be a lot of dark colors painted onto the canvas or diminished chords nowadays. Still, I follow my instincts when writing, per bar or measure,  each note leads to a new opening which is what the world is currently doing, waiting for the cure or the next news."

Mark Murdock: Phoenix Has…

"Music in general has a transferable relationship between humans conveyin' messages, incentives, moods, sentiments etc. Therefore, is visible also in this new social-community with exactly the same implications as they were conducted within' the media. In the old days we had a transistor. Nowadays we are facin' a screen."

Tommie Bouzianis: Rock On The Astrodot …

"Music seems to bring people together by creating a neutral ground where people can relate upon the same experiences. I think it is grounding."

"I firmly believe that especially the progressive rock side of things is really more of a continuation of how classical music has developed as against its evolving with popular music. I mean the 20^th century brought some electronics into classical music Stockhausen and another writer John Cage, but somehow it still stayed separate from all classical music, or so we say mainstream classical music and I think prog rock in many respects  took that…

"We live in such dark times with all the suffering caused by this terrible virus that people need hope. Certainly what I hear in good music is a sense of the possibility of a better, more loving world."

"As far as hopes and fears for the future, man that’s a loaded topic…whether in music or humanity in general. The drug epidemic is so out of control and the violence that comes with is a very scary thing...and it seems to be only getting worse."

Derek Hess: Beat, Rhythm &…

"The reasons that made the Southern states to be the center of Roots/Rock researches and experiments...I think it was the lifestyle, more laid Back, more freedom of movement."

Larry Goad: Southern Roots …

"I miss character and original sounds. Drum sound. Most of today bands sound the same. Don't be afraid to form a progressive rockbound and just listen to the sea or trees."

Stefan Berggren: Keep The Soul Rockin'…

"People to understand each other and not be at each other’s throat all the time, that we can find common ground, that we don’t have to be constantly at war with each other, that we don’t have to be concerned with how somebody else lives, that everyone’s different – I’d love to see that. Let’s give each other some room."

Charlie Daniels: The Southern Legend…

"Rock n' Roll is music for the body, 3 minutes of energy, fun and it makes people dance. Psychedelia instead is music for the mind and for stoned people."

The Lysergics: Electric Music for Mind and Body…

"I think the cataclysmic events of the war years in the 40s and the austere, grey, healing and slow reconstruction during the 50s gave rise to a huge outburst of idealistic and artistic outpouring in the generation that came of age in the 60s."

Martin Turner: The Rock Wish Took…

"I miss the innocence and all the great music of the 60's and 70's….they don't make music like that anymore…"
