'The Reverie Suite' album
February
'The Reverie Suite' (Americana meets prog), an album where I had the privilege to play piano/organ on, has been receiving positive reviews and articles from magazines such as Background Magazine in The Netherlands, DPRP (9/10) , Neoprog France (4.5/5), Profil Prog FM Canada (8.6/10), Fireworks UK, Prog-Sphere and more, with radioplay on Progrock.com, various Progzilla shows and FM radio stations. The project was founded by guitarvirtuoso Hoyt Binder, Saskia Binder on vocals and includes former 'Seal/Andrea Bocelli' harmonicist Tollak Ollestad and 'Redemption' drummer Chris Quirarte. Mixed by engineer Smiley Sean and mastered by renowned GRAMMY-winning engineer Howie Weinberg.
