You may have heard that SIX by SIX had to drop out of ProgStock. We are sad to lose what promised to be a great performing band on Sunday, but we also want to wish Ian Crichton our best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery.
Ian’s injury has also affected Saturday’s headliner, SAGA, but for them the show will go on. Dusty Chesterfield will be stepping into the role as lead guitarist and Dusty’s long-time friend Mike Borkosky will join the band on bass guitar.
More recent news from SAGA has brought additional concern from our attendees and followers. Again, wishes for a healthy recovery is our first and most important response to Michael Sadler’s announcement about his upcoming procedures in September, but we have every assurance that Michael will be back on his feet and ready to rock at ProgStock! To us, Michael is so much more than the lead singer of SAGA, he and his family are like family to us, and their wellbeing is paramount in our minds! Be well, Michael!
So What’s Next, You Might Ask…
Stepping in on Sunday, October 20, will be the supergroup Tu-Ner, featuring Trey Gunn, Pat Mastelotto, and Markus Reuter!
AND…
Joining us as a special guest for the entire festival is the AMAZING Mike Keneally!
