For many years NEKTAR has defined the immersive concert experience, synchronizing sound, lights, and projections into one event. 2024-2025 saw the success of their new release Mission To Mars which garnered multiple rave reviews from critics, and sold out its initial pressing. It was a busy year with festivals, including Nene Valley Rock Festival (UK) and headlining the prestigious 2Days Prog + 1 (Italy). The classic epics like Remember The Future, King of Twilight, and A Tab In The Ocean keep the older fans happy, while the new more direct songs from Mission To Mars has brought in a newer group of fans some discovering Nektar for the first time.THE LINEUP:Ryche Chlanda (Lead Vocal / Guitars)Derek Mo Moore (Bass / Vocals)Kendall Scott (Keyboards)Jay Dittamo (Drums & Percussion)Maryann Castello (Vocals)Bassist Mo Moore was a founding member of Prog pioneers Nektar, and was recently listed in the Top 15 Prog Bassists of All Time where he was voted #5 up there in the pack with Chris Squire, Tony Levin, and Geddy Lee. Guitarist Ryche Chlanda is a seasoned songwriter, and also the Lead Voice of Nektar. He played with Nektar years ago, then had stints with his own band Flying Dreams, joined the legendary Renaissance for a while before coming back into the Nektar fold. He had the fortune as a teen of being produced by Ian McDonald (who co-founded King Crimson and Foreigner). Keyboards and Orchestrations come from Kendall Scott, many will recognize him from Project Object with various Frank Zappa alumni. Jay Dittamo is simply a beast of a Drummer with endless credits including almost being plucked-up by Frank Zappa when Jay was just a teenager. Maryann Castellos Female Vocals give Nektar a secret weapon, adding lushness and a piping high clarity rarely heard in Prog or Classic Rock. Her ability to create a unique harmony blend brings a lushness to the music.Doors @ 6:30pm | $35 ADV / $40 DOSShow @ 8-10pm
