The Samurai Of Prog Featuring Marco Grieco - A Quiet Town (2024) CD-Rip

The Samurai of Prog is the epic home of prolific music, where they are always working on a new album. They have returned…again! This time with A Quiet Town, which was released on February 9th, 2024, on Seacrest Oy. As always, these projects are full of some of the best musicians and singers in the progressive rock genre that The “Samurai” can find. Notably, Marco Bernard, on Shuker basses; Marco Grieco, on keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, harmonica, and backing vocals; and Kimmo Pörsti, on drums and percussion; are the leaders of the Samurai of Prog, project.

This time, the band leaders have included these wonderful artists to bring the concept of this project to life musically: Michael Trew on lead and backing vocals, on track 8; Ron Alonso on vocals; Peakfiddler, on fiddle; Luke Shingler on flute; Juhani Nisula on electric guitars; Steve Unruh on vocals, violin, and flute; Olli Jaakkola on flute; Ben Craven on vocals and lead electric guitar; Tony Riveryman (aka Toni Jokinen) on electric guitars; Ivan Santovito on lead and backing vocals; Marco Vincini on vocals; Andy Nixon on lead and backing vocals; and Linus Kåse on alto saxophone.

The concept of the album is summarized here: “In a seemingly serene town with devoted Sundays and thriving soap factories, the sudden discovery of a young woman’s lifeless body in the church confessional unravels hidden truths. A childhood friend, now a detective, unveils unsuspected realities. Within a TSOP progressive rock concept album, the mystery unfolds, revealing the culprit behind the tranquil façade”.
