I did this poll a number of years ago http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46718&KW=michigan. It lists a number of Michigan based progressive rock bands.

I'll give Tiles a try (just because from Michigan... honestly can't stand Rush though lol). Anything for my home state.
And there are quite a few Chicago area Prog bands: Styx (yes I consider them prog), Tortoise, Yezda Urfa, Oucho Sparks, Bangor Flying Circus, etc. |

The band Tiles are also from Detroit. Anyone who likes moving pictures era Rush will probably enjoy them.

The only band I can think of is Von Frickle who are from Chicago.
Edit: Sorry, someone else mentioned Chicago and I got confused. Obviously that's not in Michigan. Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - July 14 2018 at 22:08 |

^ Ethos material is pretty solid imo....
Regarding Fort Wayne....I have a long family connection since my aunt and uncle lived there...and I live in northwest IN not far down the road from there...been many times to Fort Wayne in the old days. You also might want to ck out Yezda Urfa...from Chicago and Gary. One of the guys still lives in La Porte, IN. http://www.yezdaurfa.com/members/default.html

Was somewhat familiar with Savage Grace. I am still trying to track down CD or MP3 releases of their material (I know they did three albums if I remember).
Thanks for SRC! I will definitely hunt down their discography if possible. I was just in Fort Wayne not to long ago actually lol (just a funny coincidence you mention that place). I don't recommend driving there. Pain in the butt. But I will definitely check out more of ETHOS, because that bit was really appealing to me. |

Savage Grace was considered a prog/psych band in the late 60s/early 70s. Here's an interesting version of All Along the Watchtower with one helluva spastic calliope solo....
And as Wu mentioned, SRC doing their best Grieg... |

Hello all,
I am just wondering if anyone knows of any Progressive Rock groups that are from Michigan, hopefully from the late 60's-80's but any era works. At this point I am fully aware of Art in America, and a few other groups (having actually talked with members of a few Prog groups around, particularly from the Detroit and Genesee county areas). But wondering if there are any you guys all know of. Suggest any prog groups that come to mind. I just really wish to support local bands from my home state. |
