Prog-Watch 1112 – Explorations, Vol. 7 – Crossover Prog
This week’s Prog-Watch is another edition of our Explorations series, this one looking at Crossover Prog! In this program we’ll explore the crossover sub-genre through great music from The Tea Party, Kevin Gilbert, Supertramp, Peter Gabriel, Phideaux Xavier, Radiohead, Ritual, Lunatic Soul, The Dear Hunter, Dave Bainbridge, Gazpacho, Steven Wilson, and Big Big Train!
Please note that I accidentally announced this show as Explorations, Vol. 6 during the program, but later realized it was actually Vol. 7. To avoid confusion on the website I have corrected the show art and titled it properly as Vol. 7. (Oh the perils of self-producing a weekly internet radio show and podcast! Don’t try this at home, kids!)

Anthony Rowsick (aka the Progsquatch) has been a fan of Progressive Rock for roughly 35 years. When the last of his four children moved out a few years ago he suddenly found himself with some things he had been lacking for many years – extra room in the house, spare time, and spare money! So he decided to invest in some computer recording software and an interface, moved all of his instruments and equipment into one of the kids’ old bedrooms, and began writing and recording his own music again. His friend Nelson W Pyles – the lyricist and vocalist in his recording project (called Novus) – is an author and podcaster and gave Tony the idea of doing his own podcast. Thus, Prog-Watch was born!
When he is not working, listening to Prog Rock, or preparing shows, Tony likes to pick up heavy things and put them down. He also reads avidly and enjoys craft beer.
