The star-studded ensemble tracked a prog rock version of the song “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, which is set to appear on Parsons’ upcoming studio album.

Kollman has also tracked with his side project, L.A. blues rockers BLEEDING HARP; the group’s sophomore album, “Truth”, features a guest vocal appearance by none other than Dug Pinnick (KING’S X, KXM) on a cover of the ALLMAN BROTHERS classic “Whipping Post”, a tribute to the late Gregg Allman. The album is available now as a digital download on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and other outlets.
