A rare chance to see the progressive rock band Iluvatar performing new material from their upcoming release plus their classics from all 4 of their CDs!! The band has a renewed energy with a new lead vocalist.
Perhaps no other American band is so adept at the vintage British progressive rock formula as the Baltimore, Maryland based band Iluvatar. Named after a chacter in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Simarillion, Iluvatar has been thrilling audiences since 1992 with their song based art rock format featuring superb lyrics and excellent musicianship. Iluvatar are Dennis Mullen (guitar), Jim Rezek (keyboards), Chris Mack (drums), Dean Morekas (bass) and Jeff Sirody (vocals). We are delighted to bring this finest of American progressive bands to Jammin Java where they will be debuting their newest CD.
The band is generally compared to the sounds of Rush, Kansas, Genesis, Marillion, etc. but developed their own sound many moons ago.

Iluvatar began performing live in the Baltimore area in 1992 and quickly acquired a steadily-growing following of devoted fans. Though the primary focus of their live performances was on their original compositions, the band occasionally accented their sets with music from Genesis, Marillion, Pink Floyd, and Styx.
Iluvatar's self-titled debut CD was released on Kinesis Records in November 1993 and quickly became the label's top-seller. Iluvatar soon began to receive international recognition for their work. Iluvatar re-entered the studio in March 1995 to record "Children", their second album for Kinesis . "Children" firmly established Iluvatar as one of the premier American bands in the 90's progressive movement. In 1997 the "Sideshow" CD, a collection of live tracks, alternate versions, and unreleased material was released. The latest studio CD "A Story Two Days Wide" was released in 1999. The band has continued to write and record since then and a new CD is due out soon.
