Episode 6 of the Parallel Realities radio show has landed on the mighty progzilla.com. Music this month that includes two slide guitar legends, Lowell George and Derek Trucks. Some 21st Century RPI from Eris Pluvia, a couple of Brazilian prog bands 40 years apart and a couple of classic Quebecian prog bands from the 70’s. Some blazin’ jazz rock guitarists from Sweden, India, Australia Indonesia (yes including gamalan musicians) and Yorkshire plus a tribute to guitarist Ray Gomez RIP. A two hour musical mystery tour blurring the genre lines that makes this show pretty unique (IMHO). Njoy and don’t forget get in touch [email protected] and suggest some bands and artists I need to hear.

Thanks for listening.

I’m delighted to announce that the podcast for edition 611 of Live From Progzilla Towers is now available.

This week on Prog-Watch our friend and resident reviewer, Dr. Rob Fisher, returns to take a look at a stunning and inspiring album by Dutch artist Dick van der Heijde. A brain stem stroke left Dick unable to move or speak, but thanks to modern AI technology he was able to express his feelings and musical ideas in a moving new record called ‘Locked In’. For my part, I’ll have new music from Long Earth, Gabriel Zingiber, and Phideaux, and a Beardfish track dedicated to a long time listener and friend of the show.

Show originally broadcast on WHIP Radio, Temple University, Philadelphia on Thursday 23rd July at 6pm EST

Frank Jasutis was born and raised in Hamilton Ontario Canada and has worked in police communications for over 26 years. His love of music and recently realised benefits of therapy has brought a little of both to this podcast. To say he is excited about this endeavour is an extreme understatement – ie he is over the moon. He hopes you get something out of it, whether musically or therapeutically.
