Voyager, Evergrey to kick off North American tour this month


Australian progressive metal quintet, Voyager, will hit the road later this month for a Revolver Magazine sponsored North American tour with Swedish outfit, Evergrey, as well as Borealis and Oceans of Slumber in support. The summer trek will kick off in Chicago, Ill. on August 26 before wrapping up at ProgPower USA in Atlanta, Ga. on September 11. A full list of tour dates and ticket links can be found below.

“We’re beyond excited to be hitting North America again,” commented Voyager frontman, Daniel Estrin. “We have some of the most amazing, dedicated fans there and we can’t wait to deliver some Aussie action. With such a stellar lineup, you won’t want to miss a note.”

Voyager guitarist Scott Kay and bassist Alex Canion will also be offering guitar and bass lessons to fans on the road. Spots are limited, so email: voyagerlessons@gmail.com to reserve a personal lesson today. Check out a teaser video on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JW_GVKy0bI for more info.

 

Voyager will be playing songs from its critically acclaimed fifth album, V, which released in June 2014 and subsequently saw the band nominated for ‘Breakthrough Artist’ in PROG Magazine’s Progressive Music Awards.

 

The Kickstarter-funded, 13- track album can be purchased now on Bandcamp at: http://voyager.bandcamp.com/ or via the Nightmare Records webstore at: http://www.nightmarerecords.com/online-store/voyager-v-special-slip-case.
