Festival News: Fish To Headline Friday At NEARFest X

Posted on Sunday, February 10 @ 19:09:17 UTC by nightowl

For 27 years, Scottish vocalist Fish has been an icon of progressive rock. He became widely known in the early 1980s as the lead singer for British then-neo-prog upstarts Marillion. With Fish at the helm (1981-1987), the band released four classic albums: Script For A Jester's Tear, Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood and Clutching At Straws. Beginning with 1990's Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors, Onkel Fish (as he is affectionately known by his fans in The Company fanclub) has gone on to carve out a very successful solo career continuing through to the present with his latest offering, 13th Star. The new album sees Fish return to form with plenty of prog rock and experimental elements poignant lyrics, and powerful vocals, which are exemplified in songs like "Arc Of The Curve" and "Circle Line." A dynamic and emotive frontman, Fish is sure to captivate the NEARfest crowd with his fiery passion and intense personality. We are honored to host the legendary Fish as the headliner for Friday night.
