1974 is a five-piece progressive rock band from Newington, Connecticut. Since 2007, 1974 has been awing audiences with punchy guitar riffs, rich vocal harmonies, and high-energy stage shows. The band consists of Mike Forgette on guitar, Tim Moore on drums, Gary Dionne on bass, Adam Clymer on guitar and Parker Hu on keys. Citing influences from bands such as Yes, Rush and Jethro Tull, it’s easy to see why 1974’s sound has been referred to as "unashamed early prog worship" (Hartford Advocate). But though the band skillfully composes complex time signatures and dramatic riffs, layers of catchy melodies and interwoven styles of rock, pop, and other eclectic influences set 1974’s music apart. On top of being well-received locally, 1974's music has also seen recognition from Sweden, Brazil, England, Germany, Serbia and Japan.
