Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew REMAIN IN LIGHT Friday Headliners at RoSFest

Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew REMAIN IN LIGHT Friday Headliners at RoSFest

Friday, April 15th, 2022

Talking Heads guitarist, Jerry Harrison, and former Talking Heads touring guitarist, Adrian Belew are reuniting once again in 2022 to present Remain in Light to RoSFest. After a successful tour in 2021 celebrating the album’s 40th anniversary, the two musicians will be bringing The Talking Heads’ critically acclaimed album, along with additional musical surprises to kick-start the 3-day event on Friday April 15.

Remain in Light, the 4th studio album by the Talking Heads, was released in 1980 from instrumental jam sessions at the band’s Bahamas studio. Integral to the recordings was the collection of looped layers of polyrhythms and world-beat sounds that were combined with the help of producer Brian Eno to create the unique recording that became the Talking Heads signature sound for the rest of their tenure. Even today, the funky dance rhythms of Remain in Light have proven to carry a timelessness that spans generations, as it continues to find new, younger audiences.

Jerry Harrison joined The Talking Heads in 1977 before releasing their debut album, Talking Heads: 77. They produced their first chart single, “Psycho Killer” that same year. After the band went on indefinite hiatus in 1991, Harrison produced a number of hit albums for bands such as Live, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the Violent Femmes. He has released three solo albums, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Talking Heads in 2002.

Adrian Belew has been a household name in the art rock world spanning over 40 years. His unusual guitar technique and use of unique tonal sounds has given him a versatile edge in every band in which he has performed. He is best known for his tenure with progressive rock group King Crimson from 1981 to 2009, but has a remarkable CV, having toured with Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Laurie Anderson, Nine Inch Nails, and with most recent band, Gizmodrome. He has released 19 solo albums on both Island Records and Atlantic Records. He was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Rock Instrumental Performance category.

RoSFest appoints the festival’s official photographer

RoSFest appoints the festival’s official photographer

Over the last seven or so months, the RoSFest Board of Directors has been faced with the arduous task of making a multitude of decisions; some relatively easy, some not so! That said, selecting the festival’s official photographer was definitely one of the easiest! Florida-based, Joel Barrios, is a familiar face to many of you, and not just our RoSFest regulars, others will have seen him in action at ProgStock, Prog-Power USA, Cruise to the Edge… But his concert photography and talents don’t stop there, as a highly recommended visit to his website will tell you.

Joel doesn’t just photograph what happens on stage, he captures the energy and the essence of the live performance, and in so doing every image echoes his own passion for the live experience. His offstage photography and graphic design are equally inspired as can be seen from his many projects (Joel has worked with the likes of Mike Portnoy, Neal Morse, Flying Colors, Spock’s Beard and many more besides). 
His warm and generous nature, his professional attitude, and the way he interacts with his fellow human beings make him one of the finest people anyone could wish to know, and we are proud to have him as a member of our team.

Joel’s portrait was captured in a single shot by his daughter, Gabriela. No Photoshop wizardry, just Joel’s meticulous attention to detail in staging the sitting.
