This is one that is very near to our hearts as Tommy Karevik of Kamelot, Seventh Wonder, and much more agreed to an interview so that Chelsea could talk to one of her heroes. Chelsea passed away on Feb 1st, 2022, so this episode is dedicated to her. In her name we have donated $100 to the Canadian Cancer Society to help fund research towards preventing, caring for, and curing cancer patients and, if it is possible, would like to ask you to consider donating as well at cancer.ca.
We discuss the challenge of joining a long-established band and continuing their legacy, how he balances (or doesn’t balance) so many projects, and the work it takes to swap between two very different singing styles. Join us for this very important episode of Prog Notes: Spotlight.
