Hinter dem Quintett Flying Colors stand Anfangs eine einfache Idee: virtuose Musiker und ein Popsänger machen neumodische Musik auf altmodische Weise. Daraus entwickelte sich die Band Flying Colors, bestehend aus Mike Portnoy (Schlagzeug, Gesang), Dave LaRue (Bass), Neal Morse (Keyboards, Gesang), Casey McPherson (Gesang, Gitarre) und Steve Morse (Gitarre).
Gemeinsam schaffen sie eine einzigartige Mixtur aus klassischer Kunstfertigkeit und zeitgenössischer Musik. Mike Portnoy beschreibt die besondere Magie dieses Bandprojekts wie folgt: "Dieses Album enthält die Elemente, die man von jedem von uns erwarten würde. Doch die Summe aller Teile führte zu etwas völlig Neuem für alle Beteiligten."
Erfrischend, klassisch, alt und neu - Flying Colors ist von den vielen verschiedenen Stilen, Facetten und Klangfarben seiner Künstler geprägt. Am 23. März wird das Album die Herzen des Publikums erobern und Tourpläne werden in den nächsten Monaten bekannt gegeben.
Product Information
It started with a simple idea: virtuoso musicians and a pop singer joining to make new-fashioned music the old fashioned way. A band followed, evolving into Flying Colors: Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals), Dave LaRue (bass), Neal Morse (keyboards, vocals), Casey McPherson (lead vocals), and Steve Morse (guitar). Together, they create a unique fusion of vintage craftsmanship, contemporary music and blistering live performances.
In 2008, executive producer Bill Evans began putting the idea into action. It needed exactly the right musicians. In addition to be being extraordinary players and writers, they would need to be a natural creative fit, complementing each others’ abilities. There would be proven chemistry from past collaborations, but the new band would be different from anything they’d done. The world didn’t need another supergroup.
As with the classic albums, there also would be a strong production team who, creatively, would be an extension of the band: a visionary producer, imaginative engineer and compelling visual artist. Though they were seasoned artists with impressive backgrounds and catalogs, this would be new territory for most of them. And without a budget or a label, they came together with nothing more than a shared vision to create something special and unique.
"This record is filled with trial and triumph. Raw and delicate songs alike amidst the swirling and daring orchestration of Steve, Neal, Mike and Dave. It’s been such an inspiring challenge melding folk, prog, pop, and metal all into one big recording." — Casey McPherson
