"We are very pleased to announce the Saturday night headliner for NEARfest X - Liquid Tension Experiment!
The supergroup consisting of Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin are reconvening
and preparing to tear the roof off of Zoellner Arts Center next June. Portnoy and Petrucci are founding
members of progressive metal's 5-headed monster, Dream Theater, and have won accolades from fans and
critics alike for their prowess on the drum kit and guitar, respectively. Rudess is was previously
known for his blazing keyboard work with the Dixie Dregs and the Rudess/Morgenstein Project and joined
Dream Theater officially after the second Liquid Tension Experiment album sessions. Tony Levin needs
no introduction - Stick and bass maestro, two-time NEARfest alum, and played with everyone from King
Crimson to Peter Gabriel to Yes to Sarah McLachlan. Liquid Tension Experiment's two studio albums,
http://dreamtheater.net/disco_projects.php?s=lte1 - Liquid Tension Experiment (1998) and http://dreamtheater.net/disco_projects.php?s=lte2 - Liquid
Tension Experiment 2 (1999), are filled to the brim with everything from blazing, chops-laden sonic attacks
("Paradigm Shift") to melodic anthems ("When the Water Breaks") to humorous jams ("Chris
and Kevin's Excellent Adventure"). The improvisational nature in the writing sessions permitted the band to
stretch out to many different influences, including rock, metal, prog, funk, blues and even ragtime. It is a great
honor to host this ensemble of legendary, virtuoso players on the NEARfest stage for our 10th anniversary."
