Can you Feel It?
Instrumentals in rock often go unnoticed or under-appreciated. Some great acts that I've seen live, like Animals as Leaders or The Omnific (Pictured below with my wife and I!!) I remember falling in love nearly 30 years ago with The Liquid Tension Experiment put together by Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci of Dream Theater fame. Ever since then I've been hooked on the entire sub-genre itself! Honestly, it was likely around this time that I started to understand that vocalists were just one part or instrument in bands. You can have a singer, or not- great music can persist regardless!

One of the opening acts was The Omnific and we fell in love instantly. It was literally 3 or 4 songs into their set when my wife turned to me and said "Wait, they don't have a singer!?" She loved it and was fully immersed into the mom...
