Instrumental progressive rock trio Consider the Source has been honing in on their unique sci-fi fusion sound for over a decade, but it is with their 2024 release, “The Stare” that their sonic vision is fully realized. Produced by David Prater (Dream Theater, Firehouse), the 5-song album reveals more of the heavy metal influence the band has always had while also including the improvisational and cultural elements they have become synonymous with. This new collection of material certainly showcases their cutting edge instruments and technical virtuosity but the focus here is on the songs, chock full of catchy riffs and melodies ranging from delicate and heartfelt to full on headbanger’s ball.&nbsp;CTS have performed in a half-dozen countries across three continents. They have shared the stage with a wide variety of artists, including: Victor Wooten, King Crimson Projekt, Wyclef Jean, Ozric Tentacles, Soulive, The Disco Biscuits, Rusted Root, Papadosio, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Wayne Krantz, TAUK, Spafford and many others. They have performed at festivals and events including: Electric Forest, Peach Fest, Northlands, Gathering of the Vibes, Mountain Jam, Resonance, Summercamp, Shakori Hills, ProgDay, and Progtober.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Greys are an indie soul art rock band from Western Massachusetts, blending introspective lyrics with rich musical textures. Formed by Caity Simpson and Chris Merritt in 2015, the band expanded to include Tim Zucco and Kevin Mason, creating a powerful and emotive sound that culminated in the band’s debut album SIXTEEN EYES (released in December 2024). The Greys have played festivals such as Green River Festival, Wormtown Music Festival, Strangecreek Music Festival, Rubblebucket’s Dream Picnic, and numerous venues across New England.
