Come enjoy the "magic" of Ray Weston of Echolyn. Anyone who is familiar with Ray through his work with Echolyn or his brilliant solo album "This is My Halo" knows that he is a true modern musical poet who wears his heart on his sleeve as they say in the tradition of a FISH or Nick Cave.

Joining Ray will be one of Prog's youngest new bands The Tea Club, described by Jerry Lucky as "a new and fresh take of progressive rock structures that are easily spotted and yet sounds new and original. Their music is a mix of Mars Volta or Rush on the instrumentation side and ..Echolyn..on the writing and vocal side..."

Join us for an evening of great progressive music and story telling at the most intimate club in Boston - The Magic Room.

The Watch are an early-Genesis tribute band who also record their own material. Billed as The Blue Show - the Foxtrot album - they start with acoustic-based songs and build the tension as they add more powerful numbers. Exactly the way Genesis themselves used to do it around 1970/71.

These guys really know their subject, with singer Simone Rossetti sounding exactly like Peter Gabriel. As they move into the powerful numbers such as Time Table and Can Utility and the Coastliners, you can feel the atmosphere build. By the time we get to Musical Box and In the Cage, the band are feeding off a rapturous reception.

Guitarist Giorgio Gabriel (his real name!) manages a beautiful rendition of Steve Hackett’s classical solo piece Horizons, made all the more captivating by playing it on 12-strings.

Performing everything from Foxtrot could only mean one thing – the highlight of the evening will be Supper's Ready. It is flawless: absolutely stunning . Tears flow. Like most of the audience I've seen all the Genesis tribute bands of the last few years. No-one outwith Genesis themselves plays this song better. I would dare say they are the best tribute band, Genesis or otherwise, I've ever seen. [Rockradio UK]

... a strong and powerful performance - Steve Hackett

...it was impressive (drums duet with Phildas) - Phil Collins
