ABIGAIL'S GHOST Comes To ProgDay 2008!

When one thinks of music from Louisiana, progressive rock is not
usually the first thing that comes to mind. With a few exceptions,
like ProgDay alumni WOODENHEAD, the state is best known for jazz,
blues and zydeco. So it was a bit of a surprise in 2007 when the
album “Selling Insincerity” burst out of the bayou by a young band
that went by the moniker of ABIGAIL'S GHOST. The album drew rave
reviews on the Internet and in both the prog and mainstream rock
press.

Founded by childhood friends JOSHUA THERIOT and KENNETH WILSON, both
former students at the Berklee College Of Music, the band draws
influences from a wide array of both modern and classic progressive
rock and art rock. Often compared to PORCUPINE TREE, shades of OPETH,
RIVERSIDE and PINK FLOYD can also be found within the framework of the
band’s material. The songs are emotional and atmospheric,
encompassing both soft acoustic interludes and bombastic heaviness
bordering on metal.
