For this year's Apocalypse, we will be providing some great late-night entertainment at the Comfort Suites. On Friday night, we will feature Pinnacle. With members hailing from both Pennsylvania and New Jersey (including NEARfest guitar tech Karl Eisenhart and Coffee Wizard Greg Jones), Pinnacle brings a fresh combination of old school prog rock sensibilities and a modern edge. The band has recently added a full-time vocalist/keyboardist and taken their music to another level, as is evidenced on their new album "A Blueprint for Chaos." In fact, the band's performance will also be the CD Release Party for the album! (www.pinnacleband.com)
On Saturday night, The Yellow Box will take the stage in the ballroom. The trio from the New York City area has roots that began with a magazine ad nearly decade ago. Bassist Chris Merlo and keysman/vocalist Charlie Labs were later inspired to challenge themselves after attending an early edition of NEARfest and witnessing all the virituosity on the stage. In 2006, they joined forces with drummer Rich Moscatelli and The Yellow Box was complete. The band will present themselves and their unique brand of keyboard-driven progressive rock to the die-hard prog community with their performance on Saturday night. (www.theyellowbox.com)
All After-Party activites are free and will be held in the ballroom at the Comfort Suites on 4th Street in Bethlehem. While the shows are all-ages, please be aware that there is a bar and that these after-parties can run late into the night!
