On the show today, I spoke to a guitarist who's band is coming up so fast that their legend in the progressive hard rock world seems assured.
My chat today with Paul Visser from the supremely talented London based trio, Black Orchid Empire, was an utter joy. When I was growing up, I struggled to find musicians like Paul, because they are so rare. He has his own voice, truly his own style and sound, and he's found 2 other musicians, who, in turn, have made Black Orchid Empire into a must listen.
You must listen to them now.
You must buy their new record.
They are truly special and they make guys like me very happy.
You'll see it and hear it today.
Hold on, blessed ones, for this is the truth and the power behind the most surprising new band I've heard in years. This is Paul Visser of Black Orchid Empire and this is your boy, Rob Leland, bringing you an "all new for 2023," Rockstar Superhero.
