The Emerald Dawn

About

The Emerald Dawn are a multi-instrumentalist, eclectic/symphonic progressive rock group, who combine elements from classical music, jazz and rock to produce their own original sound. Usually haunting, often beautifully melodic and always highly atmospheric, the music of The Emerald Dawn employs unusual harmonic structures to depict images or to tell stories that stimulate the imagination. While being complex, experimental, powerful, and occasionally challenging, their music is never inaccessible. The Emerald Dawn was originally formed in Edinburgh by Tree Stewart (keyboards, piano, flute, acoustic guitar, percussion, and vocals) and Ally Carter (electric and acoustic guitars, guitar synthesizer, tenor and soprano saxophones, keyboards, and vocals), before moving to the South West, where they were joined by jazz drummer Tom Jackson and, more recently, by bass player David Greenaway. The band has been widely played on progressive rock radio stations around the world. “Very, very atmospheric…all their tracks are a terrific soundscape…they manage to paint terrific aural pictures.” Jim Lawson, Progzilla Radio
