Fire Garden is Progressive Rock Band from Chicago.  New album 'Sound  of Majestic Colors' is OUT NOW Order your copy www.firegardenmusic.com/shop 

Hi! We are a prog rock/new wave band from Piacenza (IT) and Southampton (UK)!
NightCross are: Guido (Lead vocals and keyboards), Giulio (Guitars), Falk-Martin (Bass), Riccardo (Drums).
We hope you enjoy and feel free to subscrive!
You can purchase / listen to our songs on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play. 

This ensemble first met on the equivalent of an online dating site for musicians and other people looking for other things, including "dates". They found each other through a mutual interest in Progressive Rock Fusion of the instrumental variety and a need to jam.

Sheldon Kreger: young, enthusiastic and steeped in geek lore was Odin's Itch first Drummer. 

Neil Valette: lightly brooding and a man who is on the hunt plays Bass with a liquidy smoothness that will have you saying, It sounds better than butter, if you could hear butter play. 

Tom Blackburn: Hamster whisperer, lover of anything orange, Lord of the Cheese plays Stringed instruments. He mainly plays guitar but occasionally mandolin and lap steel in a way that not even he knows what he's doing. 

These three men agreed to start seeing each other, musically, in the late summer of 2013.

They worked hard on original instrumental music that Tom had written and after six months decided to take the relationships to the next level and try a 4some. They brought in another guitar player and decided to name the band Oomblik but neither of those two decisions took hold so after some more searching on that web site they used earlier they came across Knute Snortum. 

Knute, tall, semi dark and mysterious plays Keyboards. Knute, the K is not silent, Snortum has a vast knowledge of music theory, animal husbandry and the inner working of the mind, which he uses to ply the keys like they were that tool thingy that Scandinavians use for carving things.

6 Months later there would be creative differences between Sheldon and the band and it was agreed that Sheldon would stay and help record some demos and then leave. 

May 2015, after several try outs with different drummers along comes Jake Cantrell. Jake, the man with a million drums, deep DJ voice, and a love for camping has a simple 4 piece set of drums with cymbals raised high and a Bruford had lunch with Mitch Mitchell way of playing. When Jake entered the band they decided to change their name to Odin's Itch after asking friends for band name ideas.

So now they stand aligned with the common goal to go forth and do the best they can with what they have at that moment.

You really can't ask too much else from anyone. 

Shadow Of The Sun is a collaboration between 4 friends with a mutual love & respect for music.
