Hollywood-native keyboardist, composer and producer Erik Norlander will stop in Canton as part of an exclusive four-city spring tour. In an effort by Serge Entertainment Group to bring something different to the downtown Canton area, senior publicist Mark Waterbury said Norlander’s work should bring a broad base of fans to the Cherokee Arts Center.
Norlander’s Galactic Collective band is comprised of guitarist Jeff Kollman, bassist Mark Matthews and drummer Nick LePar.
Norlander’s 2010 solo release, “The Galactic Collective,” stands as a progressive rock tour de force of re-imaginings of his best instrumental compositions written for Lana Lane, Rocket Scientists and his previous solo albums, according to a release.
In bringing Norlander’s music to the Cherokee Arts Center, Serge Entertainment offers the Canton area more of a taste of music traditionally found in Atlanta, Waterbury said.
“We think Canton’s a good market for Erik’s music because Atlanta has a large progressive rock crowd, and we feel the downtown area needs more of this kind of thing,” Waterbury said. “We want to push the envelope on entertainment around here.”
Norlander has recorded, produced, written and performed with many of progressive rock’s most regarded acts including ASIA Featuring John Payne, Rocket Scientists, Lana Lane, Big Noize and the Roswell 6 project. Other artists Norlander has worked with over the last two decades include Vinny Appice, Tony Franklin, Glenn Hughes, Buck Dharma Roesser, Mitch Perry and James LaBrie of Dream Theater.
