The Madrigal Project, an innovative new musical collective, is proud to announce the release of their debut album, '11th Hour', available for pre-order now on CD and double vinyl. The brainchild of Kevin Dodson, a former member of the critically acclaimed cult progressive rock band Madrigal, The Madrigal Project seeks to breathe new life into the progressive rock genre with a modern twist.
Kevin Dodson, known for his work with Madrigal in the late 70s to mid-90s, brings the same creative energy and spirit that defined the band’s legacy. Madrigal’s albums, 'Waiting' (1988) and 'On My Hands' (1996), remain cult favorites among crossover prog enthusiasts. The Madrigal Project builds on this foundation, infusing it with contemporary influences and fresh collaborations.

'11th Hour' was meticulously recorded at Dodsongs Productions and Soundlogic Audio, engineered and mixed by Kevin Dodson and John Van Houdt, with mastering by Andy Van Dette at Evolve Mastering, NYC. The album's striking artwork was created by Hajo Mueller, known for his iconic work with Steven Wilson.
The music, inspired by legends like Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, and more, combines progressive rock’s classic elements with modern sensibilities. Kevin Dodson’s songwriting, drumming, and vocals are central to the album’s dynamic sound.
