The Neal Morse Band
Neal Morse (born August 2, 1960) is an American singer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader and progressive rock composer based in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1995, he formed the progressive rock band Spock's Beard with his brother Alan and released an album which was moderately successful. In 1999, he joined former Dream Theater co-founder Mike Portnoy, Flower Kings' Roine Stolt and Marillion's Pete Trewavas to form the super-group Transatlantic. In 2002, Neal Morse became a born again Christian, left Spock's Beard and began a Christian rock solo career, releasing many progressive rock concept albums about his new religious faith.
In the meantime, he continued to play with Transatlantic and formed three new bands, Yellow Matter Custard, Flying Colors and The Neal Morse Band in 2014 which has released three albums so far, The Grand Experiment in 2015, The Similitude of a Dream in 2016 and The Great Adventure in 2019. Members are Portnoy (drums), Randy George (bass), Eric Gillette (guitars, keys) and Bill Hubauer (keys). Guitarist Adson Sodré was in the band until visa issues forced his departure.
