January 24, 2013, 11 years ago
Joel Hoekstra (TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, NIGHT RANGER, Rock Of Ages) has joined Arjen Anthony Lucassen (AYREON), Lars Eric Mattsson (MATTSSON, BOOK OF REFLECTIONS), Dave Reffett (SHREDDING THE ENVELOPE), Scott Tipping (MAGIC BOX) and others to be confirmed soon as a special guest on the all star debut album from BORDONI, entitled Songs Of Future Past.
Bordoni features Andrew Bordoni on guitar, Scott Stevenson on keys, Shawn Sommer on bass, Bill Fornari on saxophone and Tom Hipskind on drums.
When asked to describe the all instrumental album, guitarist Andrew Bordoni said: "Think of it like TOTO on steroids with a mix of JOE SATRIANI, STEVE VAI, DEEP PURPLE and PINK FLOYD, but with its own personality, vibe and style. I really think we've created something really special and unique that can be enjoyed from anyone who enjoys rock, hard rock, progressive rock, metal and beyond.”
The profits from the sales of the first 500 copies of the album will help fund a soup kitchen, children’s programs and orphans in Lithuania.
In 2009 Andrew donated 11 guitars to the Taurage Orphanage in Lithuania and many of the kids have become passionate about music since.
"These kids need some hope in their lives and the power of music can provide that. Music saved my life when I was a kid, so this is a way for me to pay it forward and hope that I can pass on the hope that saved me to other kids that might need it.”
Songs of Future Past is available for pre-order at this location and will be released on April 28th.
