Providence,
a six-piece band from the Portland area that was in effect from about 1971
to 1974. They released a single and an album entitled "Ever Sense
the Dawn" in 1972 on Threshold Records (THS-9).
This
was a really sweet group, somewhat reminiscent of the Moody Blues, but
with their own individual style, very classically oriented. I am
trying to track down the rest of the band as I write this. I understand
Bart Bishop (younger brother of record producer and agent Randy Bishop)
is working in retail somewhere in L.A.
Kurt Bevers, October 2003 Andy Guzie was in Portland last I checked. Bob Barriatua is a doctor in Portland. The Tompkins have a website, gallopaway.com. Guzie and Barriatua did a demo album called "Chroma" which is very good Christie Schults, August 2007 |
