The Prog Collective

**The Prog Collective** is a rotating supergroup that brings together legendary figures from progressive rock's golden era for fresh collaborative magic. Masterminded by multi-instrumentalist and Yes alumnus Billy Sherwood, the project functions as a musical crossroads where icons like Geoff Downes (Asia), Steve Hillage (Gong), and others trade licks across generations. Their albums—including recent releases like *Dark Encounters* and *Between Two Worlds*—blend intricate compositions with a nostalgic yet forward-thinking vibe, often tackling existential themes wrapped in lush instrumentation.

Since their 2012 debut, The Prog Collective has become a celebration of prog’s legacy, with Sherwood curating dream-team lineups for each release. Tracks like their cover-heavy *Songs We Were Taught* and the cinematic *Worlds on Hold* showcase both reverence for the genre’s complexity and playful experimentation. Think of them as a prog-rock fantasy camp where every album feels like a backstage pass to rock history.
