At Tally Ho Theater, Nektar brings more than five decades of progressive rock innovation to an immersive concert experience. Fresh off the sold-out initial pressing of the 2024 album Mission To Mars, the band is in the studio shaping the next chapters of its trilogy while continuing a global resurgence that includes headlining Nene Valley Rock Festival in the UK and 2Days Prog + 1 in Italy, along with successful runs through historic U.S. theaters. Formed in Hamburg in 1969, Nektar helped pioneer a distinctive Sound and Light Theatre approach and released landmark albums such as Journey to the Centre of the Eye, A Tab in the Ocean, the U.S. Top 20 hit Remember the Future, the gold-selling Down to Earth, and Recycled. The current era traces back to a 1978 New Jersey session that teamed Ryche Chlanda with founding bassist Derek “Mo” Moore, a creative spark that reemerged when the group reformed in 2019 and led to The Other Side in 2020. Building on that foundation with keyboardist and orchestrator Kendall Scott, the band delivered Mission To Mars and set the stage for what comes next. On stage, Ryche Chlanda, Derek “Mo” Moore, Kendall Scott, drummer Jay Dittamo, and vocalist Maryann Castello pair the band’s signature power and precision with a reactive visual production directed by Jay Petsko, where projections flow with the performance to create a living, multi-sensory landscape. Recent coverage has praised Mission To Mars for its modern energy and craftsmanship and highlighted the renewed spark in the Chlanda, Moore, and Scott writing team, while live reviews point to Chlanda’s soulful voice, nimble improvisation, and the group’s ferocious, brilliant delivery. The legacy moves forward with gratitude for Ron Howden, Roye Albrighton, Taff Freeman, and Vinnie Schmid, whose spirit resonates in every note.
