Olias. - The ProgCast with Gregg Bendian

OLIAS BENDIAN is a multi-genre drummer/producer/singer/podcaster from the Philly music scene who also happens to be my son! Olias is a multifaceted artist who, as you might guess, grew up around a tremendous amount of progressive music during his early life in the Bendian household. An associate producer on The ProgCast, we get into discussing O.'s artistic influences, his current projects, and more. SPECIAL BONUS episode for Patrons: Olias and I discuss the impact of growing up around TODD RUNDGREN and his music, and TR's connection to Olias' musical and artistic development.
