Four giants from the Venezuelan music scene and an Emmy Award winning
singer based in Canada merge their talents and passion for music into
an exceptional eclectic prog band. BACKHAND consists of ADRIANUS VAN
WOERKOM (keyboards), PABLO MENDOZA (guitars), OSCAR FANEGA (bass), and
ADOLFO HERRERA (drums). With long established musical resumes, they
are individually known as some of the best musicians in Venezuela.
Three years in the making, BACKHAND released its new album Through The
Turbulence earlier this year with the contribution of the band's
newest addition PHIL NARO (TALAS, DRUCKFARBEN, DDRIVE) on lead vocals.
ProgDay is pleased to host BACKHAND's first performance in the US.
BACKHAND (Venezuela) joins the ALEX CARPANI BAND (Italy), SENSATIONS'
FIX (Italy), NECROMONKEY (Sweden), THE GALACTIC COWBOY ORCHESTRA (US),
LUZ DE RIADA (Mexico) and KOTEBEL (Spain) at ProgDay 2014, the 20th
Anniversary of the longest running progressive rock festival in the
world. ProgDay 2014 will take place on Saturday, August 30th, and
Sunday, August 31st, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
