permanent band project. Lalle Larsson (keyboards, vocals), Jonas
Reingold (bass, pedals) and Walle Wahlgren (drums, percussion) have
been added to the line-up, and this fivesome have established
themselves as an ac...
RoSfest
is thrilled to announce that US band Discipline have been signed for
the 2012 edition of the Rites of Spring Festival.
Some
bands become legends in their own time. Due to quality of material,
lengthy tenures or timing. Being at the right place at the right time
have made just as many careers as anything else. And while Detroit,
Michigan may not have been the right place, the mid 1990's was
certainly the right time for Discipline to appear. With two top notch
albums released to an audience that didn't have too many new US prog
bands to choose between, Discipline quickly became...
RoSfest is delighted to announce that
Swedish band Karmakanic have been signed for the 2012 edition of the
Rites of Spring Festival.
For years Jonas Reingold was best known
as a member of The Flower Kings. But in 1999 he started writing
material on his own, leading to the formation of his band Karmakanic
and their debut album "Entering the Spectra" which was
released in 2002. And while The Flower Kings and tenures in bands
such as Kaipa and The Tangent kept Reingold busy at the time, a
second Karmakanic album, "Wheel of Life", was issued in
2004. Four years later "Who´s the Boss in...
The
opening slot on Sunday morning isn't the most visited concert at a
weekend festival. After two days with numerous hours of music, and
often partying verging on excess to boot, some people tend to sleep
in on the third day. But for the dedicated fans who does show up, for
them we try to find something special. ...

ROSfest are proud to announce that US
quartet Resistor have been signed for the 2012 edition of the Rites
Of Spring Festival.Everything has to start somewhere, and
often with someone. And in the case of Resistor, US composer and
musician Steve Unruh is the proverbial it. An established solo artist
with plenty of albums to his name, he is well known for his
folk-oriented, acoustic art rock. But a decade or so into his solo
career, the need for performing music with a harder hitting sound
starts to grow alongside the need to perform material with more of an
improvisational character. En...
