Prog & ProgenyAuthor: Mark Kelly & Tallulah Kelly
This podcast grew out of conversations we've had over the years about music, life, and the strange overlap between the two when you're in a band. Each episode is loosely based on a chapter from Marks book Marillion, Misadventures & Marathons, but we often veer off course (intentionally).Expect a mix of behind-the-scenes stories from the world of progressive rock, reflections on what it takes to make it, and the realities most people never see - the industry politics, the pressure, the internal dynamics, and how it all affects relationships, identity, and creativity.Well also get into:- How the music industry is changing (and who its failing)- The ethics of being an artist in a commercial world- The chaos and camaraderie of life on tour- Partying, drug use, and the personal costs of successSometimes its serious, sometimes its not but its always honest.
