Our New Projects
Cassandra Syndrome delivers a refreshing, original and intelligent brand of brooding progressive rock, which hints at Tool's dark edginess and Tori Amos's lyrical depth. Cassandra Syndrome features Revel Moon veterans Irene Jericho on vocals, BJ Robey on rhythm guitar, and Jay Jericho on drums, with the new addition of Joe Cariola on bass. Driven by heartfelt, haunting vocals and charged with a wide range of emotions, this band is one to keep your eyes (and ears) on. Visit Cassandra Syndrome at http://www.cassandrasyndrome.com.

Musicians
Lauren Kendall is an amazingly talented singer-songwriter based in Richmond, Virginia. We first met Lauren when sharing a venue at the 2003 Summer Solstice Celebration. Lauren's debut album, WHEN, showcases Lauren's rich, womanly voice in original songs, such as "With the Dark of the Night" and "Song in Dreams," the latter of which won her first prize in a talent show judged by Broadway legend Carl Anderson. Check out Lauren's newest album release, RED, at http://www.holycackle.com.
Blue Knight is a wonderfully eclectic band based out of New York that occasionally performs in the DC area. Led by James Gilchrist, they perform a mix of traditional singer/songwriter ballads, modern rock songs, and Celtic/Romantic influenced tunes. Blue Knight's style is as hard to pin down as our own. Add World to Folk, sprinkle with Rock, mix well with magick…you get the idea. You can find Blue Knight on the web at http://www.sharethelightproductions.com.
Scott Helland is an incredible instrumental guitarist based out of New York. Scott's all-instrumental compositions meld a visceral mix of rock, folk, metal influences and neo-classical styles all performed on acoustic guitar and bass guitar. His playfully diverse instrumentals are creative and unpredictable. Often having a medieval flavor or a movie soundtrack mystique, the emphasis is on melody and a strong lyrical feel.
