RoSfest is honored to announce symphonic prog great STARCASTLE as our Friday night headliner. It has been three years in the making and finally we are able to bring you the classic 70's progressive rock band back to the stage in 2007. Starcastle put its own stamp on the progressive rock scene back in the 70's and was one of the most respected bands of the American prog scene. Formed in Illinois in the late 60's, the band that would come to be known as Starcastle toured under various names throughout the Midwest before settling with a name that so perfectly fits the majestic sound they came to be known for. Starcastle played over 200 dates a year in the 70's and continued to perform live into the mid 1980's. The band toured with the likes of Gentle Giant, Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Jethro Tull and Boston just to name a few. The band released four studio albums between 1976 and 1978. Starcastle (1976), Fountains of Light (1977), Citadel (1977) and Real to Reel (1978). The band made a few attempts to regroup after a hiatus in the mid 80s, and work has been ongoing on their album "Song of Times", which will be released in the near future. Starcastle's style is heavily bass-driven, carried by soaring Yes- like vocals, with superb instrumentation all around. This dedicated group of musicians will feature the lineup that includes vocalist Al Lewis, formerly of Alaska, Starcastle guitarist Bruce Botts, guitarist Matt Stewart, keyboardist Herb Schildt, and drummer Steve Tassler. In 2007 we see Starcastle at the RoSfest stage for a look into the past and a leap into the future. The band will play an ambitious set playing hits from their previous albums and tracks from their upcoming new album "Song of Times".
