Ad Astra

A very unique and refreshing live sound with breakneck ensemble playing, exciting melodies,
triumphant soloing, and accessible, exultant hooks. The kind of Prog/Fusion band that you share with all of your hardcore musician friends to impress them. Soaring melodies with exceptional compositions and arrangements.

AD ASTRA is an Instrumental Progressive Rock/Fusion band that has been active
in the NYC/Long Island music scene for over 10 years. With a clear focus on melody
and arrangement, over a bed of complex rhythm and harmony, their songs always keep
your interest and never sound monotonous. They've released two CDs of material and
are writing for a third. Recent highlights include multiple performances at the New
Jersey ProgHouse, a show with world-renowned bassist Stu Hamm, a blistering 90-
minute set at the 2016 ProgDay International Progressive Rock Festival, a performance
at the 2018 Progtoberfest Progressive Rock Festival and a show at the historic My
Father’s Place on Long Island. Summer 2019 had them joining French Prog/Fusion
phenoms Mörglbl on their tour of the Northeastern US, while being featured in the NY
Post as a tie-in to Brad Pitt’s movie, which shares the band’s name. In the meantime, AD ASTRA
continues to book shows, while writing new material to showcase live,
before hitting the studio for their highly anticipated third release.

Very easy, clean set-up for a crystal clear live sound. Mono DI for Keyboards, Mono DI for Guitar, Mono DI for Bass, 5 to 7 piece drum kit, one mic center-stage for in-between song banter.
