PURPLECRAYON GIVEN "ALL AREAS" PASS TO PROGPOWER USA VII
Glenn Harveston, the wizard behind America's premiere progressive/power metal festival ProgPower USA, has asked PCD's Bill Murphy to capture PPUSA VII from an exclusive behind-the-scenes vantage point.
If your musical tastes include prog/power metal bands from all over the world, there's no finer music festival in the US than ProgPower. This year's show is scheduled for September 15-16, 2006, at Earthlink Live in Atlanta, Georgia.
The line-up of bands is simply astounding and features some of the most dynamic groups from all over the world: From Sweden (Evergrey and Freak Kitchen), The Netherlands (Epica), Denmark (Mercenary and Pyramaze), Norway/America (Jorn Lande, an extraordinary vocalist currently with Masterplan and formerly with Ark, Millennium and other bands), Finland (Thunderstone), Germany (Savage Circus), Italy (Vision Divine), and Greece (Wastefall).
Tickets to ProgPower USA VII go on sale April 1st at 10:00am EST via all Ticketmaster outlets. If you're even remotely interested in attending, I recommend you not wait much past 10:02 EST to buy your tickets. Only 900 are available and they usually sell out within a matter of days -- months and months ahead of the gig.

PURPLECRAYON TO PROMOTE UPCOMING GEORGE WINSTON CONCERT
One of my favorite albums of all time is December, by George Winston. I've been listening to it for some 20 years now and it still chokes me up. It's really melancholy music that never fails to send my mind down some dark, cobwebbed alleys. I love it.
So it was a thrill to ink a deal yesterday to promote George Winston for his concert in Coopersville, Michigan, on April 24.
I'm just now in the strategic planning stages of the project.
I'll keep you posted.
Keep Purple!
