Guitarist from Progressive Rock Band Mars Hollow Announces New Album, New Line-Up, and New Name
Los Angeles, CA, June 15, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Progressive rock band Mars Hollow has announced that they will be recording a new album after a nearly 5-year hiatus. The announcement was made during a semi-reunion show and subsequent radio interview last weekend, and came on the heels of a show billed as “John Baker and Steve Mauk Perform the Music of Mars Hollow” in Chicago. The show was the first time Mars Hollow has performed live since May, 2012. The most recent studio effort from the group was the track “So Far Away,” which also had a video release and was included on the Mars Hollow Live album. The album, also available on DVD, documented the band’s ‘Church of Prog’ spot at RosFest, 2011 and was released in Fall of 2012.
However, guitarist and lead vocalist John Baker says that the new band will update both its name and line-up to fit the spirit and music of the new incarnation, and will be called “Life After Mars.” The band’s lineup will be announced in Summer of 2017, with the album release being tentatively scheduled for Summer, 2018.
“The project will be a large production,” says Baker. “With myself and one or two other consistent members, we will tap into the large pool of talent around the world to fulfill the feeling and intention of each song in a truly progressive way.”
Mars Hollow landed on the progressive rock scene in 2010 with their self-titled debut album, produced by Ronan Chris Murphy, and followed up in 2011 with “World In Front of Me,” co-produced by Mars Hollow’s John Baker and Billy Sherwood, now of Yes. Playing festivals in the USA and Canada, and numerous gigs in the USA and Mexico, the band also played and toured with Billy Sherwood’s Circa, and received accolades and positive reviews for several years. In the spirit of progressive rock, “Life After Mars” seems a natural progression.
