Homecoming Weekend 2013
A note from Jim Robinson re:Homecoming Weekend 2013
Well I have recovered from one of the most wonderful weekends of my life.
NJ Proghouse Homecoming Weekend was truly beautiful. I want to thank each and every person who attended Homecoming. You all are the lifeblood of progressive music by the manner in which you embraced each and every act over the weekend. And you the artists who were those acts, you were the oxygen that fed us all. Nine great acts who played your hearts out and gave us memorable after memorable performance. I will never forget what you did for the Homecoming. Roxy and Duke’s Crew and their fearless leader Jim Parks I give you all I can in the way of thanks for helping to make the Homecoming feel like a big old family shindig and for being part of the family. I am eternally grateful to have found my way to you all. Of course the STAPH of NJ Proghouse, Sharon and Jacob you are the ones who pick me up and carry me through the madness of putting this all together. You are ALL my source and I love you all. So I suppose that maybe we should do this again next year. What say you?

Tom Brislin joins Homecoming Weekend 2013!
We are pleased to announce that performing between sets during Homecoming Weekend will be Tom Brislin!
“From a young age, I always knew that I would be a musician. While I was fortunate to have a clear sense of purpose early on, other decisions proved to be elusive. I loved so many types of music. I enjoyed writing songs and playing for other artists as well. Rather than choose one path, I just immersed myself in nearly every musical opportunity I could find myself in. Inevitably, the time came when I had to dig deep, put myself in a new environment, and create an album that reflected the different directions I’ve been pulled towards, both in music and in life.”
Tom Brislin is a musician, songwriter, and producer. After worldwide touring and recording on keyboards with several notable rock and pop artists, Tom relocated to Nashville, Tennessee from his native New Jersey to write and record his debut solo album, Hurry Up and Smell the Roses. The album, which Brislin describes as “Cinematic Pop”, was released in Fall 2012.
Hurry Up and Smell the Roses was written, produced, performed, and recorded by Brislin. The album features guest contributions from guitarist and platinum songwriter Clint Lagerberg, vocalist Annie Haslam of Renaissance, and Theremin synthesist Shueh-li Ong.
Influenced by his older siblings’ classic rock record collections, his parents’ love of jazz and classical music, and his own discovery of synth-laden pop, Brislin would eventually find himself performing in all of these settings. He has toured and recorded with Yes, Meat Loaf, Debbie Harry, Renaissance, Camel, Glen Burtnik, Francis Dunnery, and was the founder, lead singer and songwriter for the band Spiraling.
Music review site Babysue.com proclaims: “Hurry Up And Smell The Roses is a slick album chock full of intelligent compositions that shine a spotlight on this man’s unique gift for writing memorable melodies and smart pensive lyrics. He’s a master craftsman with arrangements…and he’s got a voice that’s absolutely fantastic.”
