The Craft Brothers - Friday February 3 at 8pm
Prog rock lives in the unlikely locale of New Orleans. Prog-rock band Glasgow, the nucleus of which is brothers Sam and Jack Craft, released its CD debut, On Earth, last February. That record inspired praise from New Orleans music writers and now Glasgow is preparing its forthcoming release, 1986, a rock opera set in the era of Reagan-nomics and the Cold War. After growing up in an NPR household, the Craft brothers belatedly discovered ’90s rock. Graduates of the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts and Loyola University, violinist Sam, 23, and cellist Jack, 24, aspired to the classical concert hall but the lure of rock proved irresistible.
