Three prog bands at Austin's ONE-2-ONE BAR this (July 23) evening: 7 PM - Thirteen of Everything (melodic prog, played Voyager 2016) 8:30 - crocodileatx (American prog, think Kansas without violin) 10 PM - Starmind Ceremony (space rock with bassoon...really!) 1509 S Lamar Blvd

Uh-oh, looks like the 7-string is being readied for battle! 🎸⚔️⚡️ Descendants of Erdrick melted faces at the initial Voyager 2015 event. They will be on stage at #classicgamefest Saturday morning (July 28) classicgamefest.com/schedule/

Today is the day for #VFshowcase! Weather looks good with mild temperatures. Show up early to snag a sampler CD with tracks from 15 different Austin area prog, fusion, and avant garde bands!

On the way to #VFshowcase and saw lots of bluebonnets at the bus stop. How Austin is that?

And we are off! Mount Pressmore leads off #VFshowcase with their jazzy rocking "chop pop"

Dwarf Nebula is rocking #VFshowcase with some psyche jams. Intense guitar like Red Hot Chili Peppers? Rocking organ solos like Deep Purple? Yes, please...

Lost Cat Magnet is tearing into #VFshowcase with meditative electronics, driving sequencers, live drums, and guitar. Great change of pace from the first two bands...

If there is a VoyagerFest event in Austin then Black Ladder must be playing. Jazzy keyboards, funk bass, and rock drums. Keyboardist Shane Lamb studied music at #UTAustin. New album out now... #VFshowcase

Thesis: the role of bassoon in progressive rock. Answer: StarMind Ceremony at #VFshowcase . Chamber rock feel, a bit spacey at times, nice synth lines.

For this to be progressive rock there must be a Chapman Stick. Mick Peters of the band Thirteen of Everything does the honors. Melodic songs in the Camel and Genesis vein #VFshowcase

Another VoyagerFest event, another burning set from sax driven fusion group Circling Drones. Slowed down the pace for the second song. Electric Piano sounds great! #VFshowcase

Sax AND violin? Must be Stop Motion Orchestra at #VFshowcase! And isn't that a gorgeous Telecaster? Sounds a bit like Dixie Dregs and Miriodor although they might slip in a Cardiacs cover...

The lights are on for Opposite Day at #VFshowcase. Blazing runs and quirky lyrics abound. Bassist Greg Yancey is a luthier...he made his bass and Sam Arnold's guitar in this photo.

Last up is Muppletone, slightly avant garde rock with a sense of humor and some intetesting performance art. #VFshowcase
