For Immediate Release
Prog Duo The Vegetarians Release New Album “Ampersand On The Beach”
The Vegetarians are a Swedish-American duo consisting of Hans Annellsson, composer & musician from Sweden, and composer & songwriter John Tabacco from Long Island, NY. Their eagerly anticipated new album includes a 48-minute suite called “Ampersand On The Beach”. Stylistically, the music is a mix of Prog Rock & Classic Rock. “Ampersand On The Beach” released on Spotify April 17.
Says Hans, “For the past year and a half we have released one single per month, often including two songs mimicking an A-side and a B-side (like in the good old vinyl days).When the time came to do the new album we picked the ten best songs, which form the first part of the album, and then took the remaining songs and put them together as a suite, adding interludes, transitions and themes for the continuity of the piece. Anybody familiar with Genesis “Suppers Ready” will get the picture.
Hans Annellsson: Composer & musician from Sweden. On the Annellssongs label Hans has released both music in Swedish, with The Vegetarians in English, and some instrumental music. The instrumental music is available on the albums “Louisiana”, “Zenotation”, “Q&A with Gerry Fialka”, “A Pirate In Ambient Waters”, & “Scenes & Takes”. Being a massive Frank Zappa fan Hans got permission from Frank, before he went on his last tour, to release a Swedish version of “Penis Dimension.” That version can be found on an album called “Från A Till Ö” by Hans and Mats Öberg. Hans also produced Mats Öberg’s album “Frankful,” solo piano renditions of the music of Frank Zappa and “Frank Zappa for Prepared Piano”.
John Tabacco: American composer, singer songwriter, engineer, multi-instrumentalist, and graphic artist.
