An evening of original progressive rock style music with The Vikings of The Magua and an opening set by Jonathan Newell's Prog Project
Vikings of the Magua is the result of a recent re-connection and cross pollination of Potsdam College and Syracuse University rock bands from the late 20th Century. The original compositions blend sensibilities from both hard rock (think Alice in Chains) and improvisational rock (think Grateful Dead). Yup. You are correct. ‘Dead in Chains’ is how we think of it too.
The band had its official debut in 2018 playing a set including the song Vikings of the Magua written for the occasion at The Great Magua festival in Bolton Landing, NY. The name of this festival is nothing short of legend and we simply stole it. Something about a maiden and a magical underwater orb.
Some would consider this a super group but the "super" part is really the improvisational connection and musical trust. It’s a true band with a deep shared history and musical family that felt like a seasoned outfit from the first jam
