Starcastle to Open RoSFest 2008

RoSFest has announced:

RoSfest is thrilled to to be bringing back symphonic prog legends STARCASTLE in an encore performance to open up RoSfest 2008. After the great performance they had in the fourth edition of RoSfest we felt that bringing back Starcastle was a great choice to complement Ambrosia and have a Friday night to remember.

RosFest Moves to New Venue

RosFest is moving the festival to the 1360 seat Keswick Theatre in the town of Glenside, just outside of Philadelphia.

PPRC MUSIC made this move due to the growth of the festival and the ability to reach a larger audience. RoSfest has spent 4 wonderful years at the Colonial Theatre in which the festival grew from a mere 185 seats sold in 2004 to the 585 seat “sold out” performance in 2007.

Regular seat tickets will be sold by the Keswick Theatre on December 1st 2007 which includes the sale of the Friday night show case tickets. Tickets will be available at the Keswick Theater website http://www.keswicktheatre.com/

Ambrosia to Headline ROSFest

Yes, you read right, Ambrosia will headline the Rights of Spring Festival Friday, May 2nd. How cool is that? Also scheduled to appear are Blind Ego, Ritual, Circa, Credo and Black Bonzo. More bands will be announced soon.

But let’s get back to Ambrosia… If your only impression of them is the 80′s soft-rock version (“How Much I Feel”) then do yourself a big favor and buy their 1975 debut, Ambrosia. Without a doubt one of the best (and best recorded) prog-pop efforts from the 70s. I know, I know… if it’s so great why haven’t you heard of it before… Trust me.
