THE EMERALD DAWN are a multi-instrumentalist, eclectic, melodic progressive rock quartet, who combine elements from classical music, jazz, folk and rock to produce their own original, distinctive and exciting sound—a sound that is cinematic, epic, experimental and powerful. Usually haunting, often beautifully melodic and always highly atmospheric, the music of The Emerald Dawn paints images or tells stories that stimulate the imagination and takes the listener on unforgettable musical journeys.
The Emerald Dawn have been making huge waves in the UK prog scene over the past few years, having made it into the top ten in both the Best Band/Artist and Best Album categories in the 2023 annual Prog Magazine Readers' Poll. The band won the best performance vote at HRH Prog XII in 2023, the largest prog festival in the UK. The band headlined at the 2024 Soundle music festival, have just returned for the ArtRock Festival in Germany, and will be headlining at Danfest later this year. The Emerald Dawn's latest album 'In Time' won the Prog Explorations Plus award for the Best Album of 2023. The Prog Mind ranked the band's keyboard player's performance fourth, the band's guitarist's performance second, the band's bass player's performance second, and the band's drummer's performance best in the world. In addition, the listeners of Progphonic and Game of Prog voted The Emerald Dawn 's vocalist runner up in the Best Female Vocalist category.
The Emerald Dawn comprise Tree Stewart (keyboards, flute, acoustic guitar, and vocals), Ally Carter (guitar, tenor and soprano saxophones, and keyboards), David Greenaway (6-string fretless and fretted bass guitars), and Tom Jackson (drums). The Emerald Dawn was originally formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, by multi-instrumentalists, Tree Stewart and Ally Carter, before moving to St Ives in the far south west of England, where they were joined by jazz drummer Tom Jackson and, more recently, by bass player David Greenaway.
‘As epic and as beautiful as it is possible to get...‘ Scream Magazine
SPRIGGAN MIST are a band from Bracknell, UK. The surprise hit of HRH Prog XI at The O2 Academy in Sheffield in April 2022, Spriggan Mist are certainly made a noise on the summer festival scene. With charismatic singer Fay Brotherhood weaving her inimitable lead vocals over a backdrop of driven guitars, saxophones, recorders and whistles and even a crumhorn!, Spriggan Mist offer something quite different. Often billed as a pagan folk rock band, it’s always been difficult to pigeon hole ‘The Spriggs’ but since HRH Prog they have found themselves labelled as Energetic Progressive Folk , injecting a fresh exciting and welcome change to the prog and festival scene. Their shows have been likened to classic Hawkwind and Arthur Brown. Spriggan Mist released their 6th studio Recorded album ‘Isambard The Mechanical Dragon’ in April 2022 to much critical acclaim.
Originally formed by husband and wife Baz and Maxine Cilia in 2008, their music generally stems from folk rock but they are much more diverse than that, often extending into classic and progressive rock. Their live shows are quite theatrical, enhanced by Pagan costumes and the Jadoo-Tribal Dance team.
