Come take a journey back in time with Lodge and his 10,000 Light Years Band as they create audio alchemy for your listening, and visual pleasure!
As Beneath a Desert Sky said, "a must see show if you love classic progressive rock music or The Moody Blues music." The show also features a special video and recording by Graeme Edge of his poems "Morning Glory," and "Late Lament." Jon Davison of YES also joins Lodge on stage to perform the classic songs, "Nights in White Satin," and "Tuesday Afternoon."
Days of Future Passed was released 56 years ago, and was arguably the start of progressive rock. These songs began the long standing cross-over between rock and classical music, and The Moody Blues shows were always known for recreating this incredible sound, and for the wonderful atmosphere. Lodge has surrounded himself with a band that are equally passionate, who put simply, love performing together and who appreciate and respect the legacy of the music. The electrifying show will also be in support of Lodge's album Days of Future Passed—My Sojourn, available now on CD and all streaming services, with a limited edition 180g Red Gold vinyl album available.
Joining Lodge on stage is his 10,000 Light Years Band, long term collaborator Alan Hewitt (Music Director and Keyboards) and Billy Ashbaugh (Drums) from The Moody Blues touring band, together with Duffy King (Guitars), and Jason Charboneau (Cello).
