IT'S HAPPENING!! 🤯 So stoked to be a small part of this monster of a tour. Maybe we'll play a new song? 😎🎷

Hello world, been a minute. While I've been working on the new The Anchoret, a couple of friends had the crazy idea to launch a new Prog Festival in Montreal...presenting ProgStorm! Check it out if you can and help us spread the word! A massive shoutout to @theprogspace ❤️!

📷 A little video summary of our amazing time at @ProgPowerEurope. 📷 It really was a magical time and I am so happy to have gotten to spend it with my friends, old and new. It all began with loneliness....but now it looks like this. 🥹 To my friends, thank you. ❤️
