Flying Colors showcases Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals), Dave LaRue (bass), Neal Morse (keyboards, vocals), Casey McPherson (lead vocals, guitar), and Steve Morse (lead guitar). “The album has bits and pieces of what you’d expect from each of us,\u201d says Portnoy. \u201cThe sum of all its parts led to brand new, unchartered territory for everyone involved.”\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Flying Colors began with a simple idea: virtuoso musicians and a pop singer joining together to make new-fashioned music the old fashioned way.\u00a0 Refreshing, classic, old and new, the songs are saturated with the many styles, tones and hues of the players who in becoming a band have delivered a unique fusion of vintage craftsmanship and contemporary music.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
“It was quite an experience making the album,\u201d recalls Dave LaRue. \u201cIt’s been an inspiring challenge melding folk, prog, pop and metal into one big recording.” <\/p>\n
Mike Portnoy was the co-founding member and drummer for the world\u2019s biggest prog metal band Dream Theater.\u00a0 Neal Morse is the co-founding member of the prog rock bands Spock\u2019s Beard and Transatlantic.\u00a0 David LaRue is the bassist for the Dixie Dregs and has worked with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.\u00a0 Steve Morse is the lead guitarist for Deep Purple.\u00a0 Casey McPherson is the lead singer for Alpha Rev, who has experienced success on US radio with numerous hit singles including \u201cNew Morning\u201d.<\/p>\n
