- Brent Bristow is a music educator - and he looks it, a middle-aged guy with a bit of a paunch and a receding hairline. But Dr. Brent Bristow, the Director of Bands and head of the Department of Music at Arkansas State University-Beebe, has (or had) a secret life as a Progger.
Years ago, he had the idea of putting together a Prog project. He would write it up, perform on it, produce it - do whatever it took to bring things to fruition. But he couldn’t have dreamed where things would lead. Brent needed additional musicians; he’s a great saxophonist and keyboardist, and he could handle background vocals, but who would handle the other parts. Through connections, he found some excellent ones, including vocalist Jake Livgren (Proto-Kaw, Kerry Livgren) and drummer Noah Hungate (The Band Perry, son of Toto’s David Hungate).
As Brent proceeded, the project came to the attention of prog-pro Neal Morse, who not only encouraged him but also endorsed the effort and first released it on his Waterfall app.
The world needs to hear Brent Bristow’s project - Emerald City Council, and its debut album “Motion Carries.” Recently, Bristow, Jake Livgren, and Noah Hungate spoke with Sonic Perspectives’ Mark Boardman about this dream come true and a myriad of details surrounding the creation of “Motion Carries.”
