Prog-watch

From genre-defying fusion to instrumental rock, from revitalizing a legendary band to collaborating in a modern prog supergroup, Steve Morse has built a career that refuses to sit still—or fit neatly into any one category. Come along with me this week and explore some of Steve's vast musical world.
