Erik The Prog King — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 17:03:40 +0000

The original idea of a “Wormhole” series was to create a one-hour musical story that moves from one idea to the next as it relates to the title of this show. Eventually “Highlighted bands” were introduced. That later idea constricted creativity- and as a result, the format has returned to the original format. This one is “Poptastic”- loads of Pop Rock (with Beatles-Like Twists) and a bit of Progressive Rock thrown in too (13 bands- Total) to form a FULL 1-Hour Musical theme. Always “like” this show at the source from where you found this podcast and don’t for get to share!

Highlighted bands:

The Beatles
Stackridge

B.C. Camplight
The Famous Groupies
