About Connie J. Schlosberg I’ve been both a music fan and a participant for as long as I’ve been around. I’ve been a deadhead, a parrothead and a metal mamma. My interest for progressive music started after high school when I dated a guy who was heavy into such bands as Yes and Rush. He didn’t last long but my love for prog rock did. I expanded my horizons to any artist who is willing to put it all out there. When I studied acting at the Theatre of Arts in Los Angeles, my friends and I would hang out at the Rainbow and Gazzarri’s, furthering my tastes to heavy metal. I figured I would put my journalistic chops to good measure and start this site – both to entertain myself and expose new sounds to anyone daring enough to be open-minded.
