Prog is NOT all weird time signatures and Moog...

About Me

NEW TRACK COMING THIS WEEK ! Sodderpot,creating a unique blend of progressive rock,jazz,blues,bluegrass,ambient,Celtic,electronica,neo-psy chedelic and world music.Both session musicians who have worked with the movie and television industry writing scores and the like,they have worked with a plethora of musical genres,styles,and luminaries.Jeff (while in the bluegrass band ’Bluewing’)co-wrote the much covered country song ’Black Diamond’ while Steve (who did a ten year stint with the band ’LONG’)has appeared on CD’s by many jazz,rock,and avant garde musicians.They have returned home to Indiana to team up for some brand new compositions.The debut CD is finished and set for a 2008 release!.....FLASH....In the 60’s it was Peter Max and Andy Warhol.In the 70’s through 90’’s it was Vaughn Bode & Roger Dean.Now in 2008 Sodderpot is really pleased to announce that their upcoming CD cover has been designed by the world renouned artist Ellen Groth Reddie.We really wish to thank the Artoon Factory for the tremendous job they did.Meanwhile,Steve has opened ’Squeemish Studios’ in Valparaiso,Indiana to the public....A different kind of recording experience as there is nothing traditional about his techniques.A Sodderpot touring band has been assembled as well........We welcome all comments.Keep watching this site for changes as there will be many over the coming months..... e-mail us at [email protected] for anything you don’t want in the public domain......Also,for some more experimental and adventurous songs, PLEASE VISIT THE SQUEEMISH MySpace site......Our Alter Ego’s.....And Oh Yea,Musicians Worldwide.....BOYCOTT ALDI!
