ALAN PARSONS LIVE PROJECT, Best known as the leader of the progressive art and soft rock “project� that bears his name, Alan Parsons is also a highly regarded producer and engineer. Parsons initially established himself in the studio working on notable albums by the Beatles and Pink Floyd before co-founding the Alan Parsons Project with instrumentalist/composer Eric Woolfson. Borrowing conceptual sci-fi themes from writers like Isaac Asimov and exploring a hybridized blend of rock, classical, AM pop, and synth-based music, the Project helped define the sound of art and prog-rock with albums like 1977’s I Robot, 1980’s The Turn of a Friendly Card, and 1982’s Eye in the Sky; the latter of which hit number seven on the Billboard 200. Parsons also continued to produce and engineer, contributing to albums by Pilot, Ambrosia, Paul McCartney, Al Stewart, and others. While the Project parted ways following 1987’s Gaudi, Parsons continued to tour and release his own albums, including 1999’s The Time Machine, 2004’s A Valid Path, and 2019’s The Secret. Along with his 13 Grammy nominations, Parsons took home his first award in 2019 for Best Immersive Audio Album for the 35th Anniversary Edition of Eye in the Sky.
