"A great example of the contemporary face of progressive rock."
- Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)
EDENSONG's beginnings date back to the 1990s and the progmetal band Echoes Of Eden. When that group disbanded, James Byron Schoen decided to form a new band. The ultimate result was EDENSONG.
Releasing The Fruit Fallen in 2008, the band's initial release was a wonderfully eclectic mix of folk, classical, rock, progmetal and world music. Their second studio album, Years In The Garden Of Years, continued to develop their unique sound and ended up on many "Best Symphonic Albums of the Year" lists for 2016. When keyboardist Stefan Paolini departed in 2017, rather than find another keyboard player, EDENSONG furthered their eclecticism by bringing virtuoso koto player Kento Iwasaki into the fold. The band is currently working on their third studio album.
To make their ProgDay return as distinctive as possible, Stefan Paolini will be reuniting with EDENSONG at ProgDay as a special guest for a special performance.
Join EDENSONG, OVRFWRD, GEPH, KARMIC JUGGERNAUT, ALEC K. REDFEARN & THE EYESORES, FERNANDO PERDOMO & THE OUT TO SEA BAND, PIXIE NINJA and SOFTEN THE GLARE for the twenty-fourth edition of ProgDay. ProgDay is a two day outdoor festival of progressive rock. ProgDay 2018 will take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 1st and 2nd, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
