“Performs Days of Future Passed Tour” – Playing the iconic album in its entirely, plus a selection of CLASSIC HITS
John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The Moody Blues, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, will be back on the road in February and March with his electrifying ‘Performs Days of Future’ show, featuring a first set of Moody Blues classic hits, and a second set of this iconic album, performed in its entirety.
The tour kicks off on February 19th at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, and includes 12 dates in the NE, Midwest and Florida, plus his appearance on the ‘Rock and Romance Cruise’, sailing out of Fort Lauderdale on March 15. Then John will be taking his show to the UK for the very first time – ‘Bringing it Home’!
This is a unique opportunity to hear fan favorites such as ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, ‘Legend of a Mind’, ‘I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)’ and ‘Ride my See-Saw’, plus this groundbreaking album. John and his band lovingly recreate these classic songs, in full symphonic glory, and together with his tributes to his bandmates, and the mesmerizing video of Graeme Edge reciting his poetry, the audience is truly transported back to Moody Blues concerts of the past.
????????????????????????????????????
Following a stroke at the end of 2023, John has gone from strength to strength, driven by his love for this music, and his deeply held desire to continue to share it with the fans. The critically acclaimed shows in July and November 2024 are testament to his passion and commitment, and as John says, his hope is that people leave with a little bit of joy, and certainly the audience can be seen leaving with Moodies magic around them.
Joining John on stage are his 10,000 Light Years Band featuring Alan Hewitt and Billy Ashbaugh (from the Moody Blues touring band), Duffy King and Jason Charboneau, plus Jon Davison of YES will again be joining John on stage to provide his soaring vocals on ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’.
“A lot of these places we used to go to as the Moody Blues, and I just want to give the fans a sense of that time again. It may not be a Moody Blues show, but Alan, Billy, Duffy, Jason and, of course Jon, create an incredible energy on stage, and such beautiful music. Then when Graeme appears on screen, and I turn to hear his beautiful words, it all makes me feel part of something very special, and I can feel I share it with the audience. Being on stage with them all, I think we all smile together, all of us on stage, and all of those in the audience. It’s a little moment away from the challenges of life.”
“Days of Future Passed” was released 58 years ago, and was arguably the start of progressive rock. John has surrounded himself with a band who put simply, love performing together, and who appreciate and respect the legacy of the music. The Moodies may not perform any more, and the loss of Graeme, Ray and Mike is felt deeply, but this show honours John’s friends and the music.
The electrifying show will also be in support of John’s new EP “Love Conquers All” out on Feb 14th, and available now for pre-order on Amazon and other online stores. Signed copies are also available including limited edition vinyl. The first single ‘Love Will Conquer All’ is available now on all streaming services and hit the No. 1 spot over New Year on the Fab Chart.

Pattern-Seeking Animals comes out of the gate in 2025 with the release of their fifth album Friend of All Creatures due out on February 14th, on GEP Records. The Los Angeles-based quartet have been one of the prog scene’s most prolific and well-received artists, beginning with the release of their self-titled debut album in 2019, followed by Prehensile Tales in 2020, Only Passing Through in 2022 and Spooky Action at a Distance in 2023.
Originally formed with past members of Spock’s Beard, Pattern-Seeking Animals (P-SA) has long since staked claim to its own identity, forging a strong path in the prog world. The band, named after a quote about human behavior from science historian Michael Shermer, PS-A is Ted Leonard (lead vocals and guitar), John Boegehold (keyboards, guitars, programming), Dave Meros (basses) and the energetic Jimmy Keegan (drums and vocals).
The band is pleased to share the lyric video for the new single “In My Dying Days” which you can watch here:
Friend of All Creatures (named from a verse in the Bhagavad Gita) contains 7 songs, all written by Boegehold, who also produced the album. It was engineered and mixed at Woodcliff Studio in Los Angeles by Frank Rosato in 2024.
About the new album, John Boegehold says, “We’re all very proud of this album and are looking forward to everyone finally hearing it.”
Tracklisting: 1. Future Perfect World 2. Another Holy Grail 3. Down the Darkest Road 4. In My Dying Days 5. The Seventh Sleeper 6. Days We’ll Remember 7. Words of Love Evermore
Pre-order for the album will begin on January 15th, 2025.
P-SA will be playing live later this year at ProgStock 2025 with other live dates to be announced.
THE FIRST SINGLE TO BE RELEASED FROM HIS UPCOMING ALBUM MOBULA (28TH FEBRUARY 2025)
Revered pianist and one half of atmospheric prog duo Iamthemorning Gleb Kolyadin returns today with the first single from his new solo album Mobula (28th February). The track, titled ‘Glimmer’, introduces new styles and folk elements for Gleb, taking listeners on a journey through cosmic landscapes, shifting times of day, and deep space, where imagination transforms the ordinary.
‘Glimmer’ is brought to life by a mesmerizing, handcrafted animation by Natalia Ryss. Known for her work with Max Cooper, Ryss’ stunning video, crafted frame by frame over three months using different techniques like rotoscoping, perfectly mirrors the track’s otherworldly charm and adds a visual depth to the ethereal quality of the music.
Drawing from poloniumcubes – Gleb’s vast music diary of over 500 tracks – Mobula unfolds as a suite of 14 short stories, each one a vibrant novella in sound. It’s a sci-fi-inspired odyssey that captures the spirit of grace and exploration, embodied by the album’s titular oceanic creature. From neoclassical elegance to pulsating electronic beats & folk textures, Mobula traverses genres and emotions, mirroring the movements of an imaginary planet and its ever-changing atmospheres
Mobula marks Gleb Kolyadin’s first album fully conceived and produced in the UK, following his relocation two years ago under a Global Talent visa. The album, mixed and mastered by Vlad Avy, blends rich folk and ethnic influences with electronic rhythms. Central to Mobula’s vibrant sound is the contribution of percussionist Evan Carson, a notable figure in the folk scene, whose work on almost all the tracks added an exuberance and dynamism to the rhythmic palette.
‘his music comes from deep within his soul. What treasure lies there’ – Prog Magazine
Adding to the album’s distinct character is the enchanting resonance of a 100-year-old Broadwood grand piano that was used throughout the recording process. Captured by engineers Marcel van Limbeek (Tori Amos) and Gianluca Capacchione (Max Meser), the piano brings a timeless, organic warmth to the compositions, contrasting beautifully with the album’s modern production techniques.
‘a master’ – Classic Rock Germany
Mobula will be released on 28th February on Kscope on purple vinyl LP, black vinyl LP, CD and digitally. Pre-order here: https://GlebKolyadin.lnk.to/mobula
