Prog Rock, Complex Art, & Cultivating a Discerning Ear: Neal Morse’s Epic Journey

We finally scale the misty mountain of PROG ROCK on the True
Tunes Podcast - with none other than the venerable Neal Morse as
our guide! As a founding member of Spock's Beard, Transatlantic,
Flying Colors, and his own Neal Morse Band, he has been setting
the standard in modern prog rock for decades. He has also
developed his own streaming app to deliver his entire catalog
(over 80 albums!) and curates his own Morsefest - an annual
gathering of progressive rock fans from around the world. His
personal and musical journey is as inspiring as his epic music.


 


We also ponder the backlash "prog" received in the punk / new
wave movement of the 70s and what complex, intricate art might
offer us as we strive to become deeper thinkers, better
discerners, and more imaginative humans. Break out the
capes!
