Great musicianship and one of the silkiest voices in music.

Thanks for the lead to this band. These guys are damn good. Should please any prog-rock fan. Following your link I have been listening to their "concept" CD Mercy Falls on youtube. Full recording here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALg1_BBBz6s

Serious chops on display! 8)

The singer, Tommy Karevik, is absolutely amazing. His recent work with Kamelot is fantastic as well. They made a great choice bringing him on board to replace Khan. His vocal talent has led some to describe Seventh Wonder as "Dream Theater with a really good singer." They can also be described as what it might sound like if Dream Theater knew how to write catchy choruses and great hooks.

I have a strange desire to hear Tommy do some Journey material after hearing how well he pulls off "Song for Jolee" live

NO! We don't want another great singer's voice ruined! But I bet he could do a great job. He has really good range.
