The 2007 Kurzweil Music Systems Road Show
Featuring new products and prog rock band LWE

Schedule presented by C.J. Lewis Kurzweil’s U.S. Product Specialist



Formed in 2000, keyboardist Frank Lucas (Neil Zaza, Michael Angelo), drummer Chuck White (Michael Angelo, Ion Vein) and bassist Steve Edsey (Dave Uhrich, Jeff Vincent), have been tearing it up in the Chicagoland area to captive audiences.

The music of Lucas, White & Edsey, composed by Lucas, centers around the keyboard hero’s stellar technique and lightning quick finger strokes. If you make comparisons to Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater, you are not mistaken. Over the last 12 years, Lucas has studied with the maestro at his studio in upstate New York. Backed by one of the best rhythm sections a prog rock band could ask for, Chuck White (drums and percussion) and Steve Edsey (bass) impress not only with great musicianship, navigating through many metrical minefields but some of the catchiest melodies. 

Musically, LWE can be compared favorably with such bands as Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Rudess Morgenstein Project (RPM), Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and Chick Corea Electrik Band.  Their self-titled first album “LWE: Lucas, White & Edsey” has already caused rumblings in the progressive world.
