The Tangent (UK)
British progressive rock band The Tangent, fronted by keyboardist Andy Tillison, delivers dynamic live shows combining ambitious compositions with jazz and electronic elements.
Andy Tillison (born 21 June 1959, Leeds) is a British keyboardist, singer and composer who founded The Tangent in 2002 - a progressive rock band that started as a one-off side project and became his primary creative outlet. With over 25 albums spanning classic prog, jazz fusion and Berlin School electronica, he is the sole constant member across The Tangent's ever-changing lineup. In 2018, the UK's PROG Magazine named him Keyboards Player of the Year.
On the official website of The Tangent it was confirmed that the next studio album is in the final production phase.
Tillison is working on a limited CD release with new recordings of songs from his former band Parallel Or 90 Degrees, released via White Knight Records.
The Tangent released the album 'To Follow Polaris' via InsideOut Music - a record that Tillison, as the only band member, recorded entirely by himself.
Tillison explained that he recorded 'To Follow Polaris' solo because the other band members were on tour with artists such as Steve Hackett, Soft Machine and Karnataka.
