GPS regrettably announces that Ryo Okumoto is unable to perform at Rosfest. We are all upset, including Ryo who was greatly looking forward to this.
This is unavoidably due to travel issues from his current home on the island of Fukue, Japan 800 miles from Tokyo. However, Erik Norlander keyboardist for Asia featuring John Payne. Lana Lane and Rocket Scientists has kindly agreed to fill in for Ryo on this date.
Thank you all for your continued support.

Thus, the lineup performing at Rosfest will be the same as AfJP! Be sure to take advantage of this chance to see the guys live.

John, Jay and Guthrie are pleased to officially announce that the band lineup has finally been completed with the addition of keyboard wizard par excellence Erik Norlander. Erik’s evocative synthesizer technique and style is reminiscent of the legendary Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson and Jon Lord while still creating a very unique musical voice of his own.
Erik has stayed active with his own solo releases and his Rocket Scientists project, and he also produces, performs and writes with his wife, Lana Lane, for her highly regarded solo albums.
Vocalist John Payne adds, “We know that the keyboard position is extremely critical to this band and therefore much time was invested to find the right person and all roads lead us to Erik.”
The band has commenced recording the much-anticipated album ‘Architect of Time’ to be released in 2008.
Red Entertainment is currently booking worldwide tour dates.
