TO WATCH THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW


Nad Sylvan, known as vocalist with legendary guitarist Steve Hackett, announces his vulnerable & personal new solo album ‘Monumentata’ for release on June 20th, 2025, via InsideOutMusic. Sylvan's music draws heavily from the golden age of progressive rock while blending in folk, classical, and modern rock influences, resulting in a sound that feels both classic and contemporary.

This collection of 8 tracks continues

 bridging those styles while sprinkling in a

 few more, from the jazzy-pop feel of

 “Flowerland” to the 60’s R&B influenced

 “Monte Carlo Priceless,” to the aggressive rock

 flavour of “That’s Not Me.”

While Sylvan handles vocals, keyboards and

 most of the guitar parts, the album features a

 number of notable guest appearances,

 including guitarists Randy McStine, David

 Kollar, and Neil Whitford. The drummers on

 the record include Marco Minnemann, Mirko

 DeMaio, and Felix Lerhmann. On bass, the

 singer is helped out by fellow Hackett band

 member Jonas Reingold, Nick Beggs, and

 Tony Levin.

It is the latter track that was recently launched , and you can watch the video for “That’s Not Me” here: https://youtu.be/5WyD5bIAHdA
