Nick’s true musical enlightenment came with the release of Rush in Rio in 2013, and since that time he has been an avid purveyor of the progressive rock and metal scene, often attending shows in the greater Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York City areas. He loves music festivals such as NEARfest, RoSfest, Cruise to the Edge, and ProgPower. For nearly 10 years Nick operated the radio show and podcast When Prog and Power Unite as an outlet to support and promote the music he loved, and now is taking that energy into contributing at Sonic Perspectives.
