Here we are on Artistopia! Come into the Citadel® Realm!
Citadel® began in the late seventies with "S.O.S." on the first QFM Project & live Agora simul-cast. Shows, videos & album releases followed. Now, jump forward to 1990, when their debut CD, "The Citadel of Cynosure & Other Tales" was chosen as "Best of KLOS Local Licks" in LA and hit the top of many radio playlists, from the US to France, Russia to Germany, Japan to Spain, Hollywood to Mailbu... travel back to the present day and you'll see the web full of Citadel® music, lyrics, art, drawings, videos, mp3's, photos, opinion's - Citadel® IS EVERYWHERE!!!
Citadel® Concerts released on DVD from Ohio to California include; The Agora (Newport), Legend Valley, Troubadour, Roxy and UCLA's Royce Hall. This self-produced band originated and co-produced the first ProgFest at Royce - a single event that changed the face of progressive music and birthed countless similar festivals across the globe. brbrCitadel®'s most recent audio releases, "Vintage Vinyls" "Regenerative Generation" "At The Rainbow's End" and others are available by Entering the Official Citadel® Site (citadelsongs.com), where you'll find a downloadable order form, MP3 and video samples & downloads, lyrics, photos, links... brbrNow based on the West Coast, Citadel® is always changing members around founder, Rejyna. The next CD will be available in 2007. brbrOver the years, a variety of intergalactic sources have been established for accessing the multimedia material of the Sci-Fi-Fantasy Prog/Melodic Rock Band, Citadel®, which was founded by Whitman & Hutchison.
Artist Mission
"Although (we're) not self identified as progressive, that is what the reviewers were likening us to. We don't cater to that, but we don't mind - but not everything we do classifies as a progressive song, it's more about the diversity of styles on our releases that gives us a progressive feel overall..." comments Whitman in a recent podcast interview. "We believe that we're in the dawn of the rebirth of the music community - when the dust settles and the 'labels' are gone, so will be the stagnation, the genre preoccupations and the cookie cutter composers..."
