The Twenty Committee

The Twenty Committee is a five-piece progressive rock band that has been writing and performing in the greater Philadelphia area since January 2012. They have independently released two studio albums—A Lifeblood Psalm (2013) and The Cycle Undone (2023)—both concept records that blend captivating melodies with progressive complexity. The current lineup—Geoffrey Langley (keys, lead vocals), Jeff Bishop (lead guitar, vocals), Joe Henderson (drums, percussion, vocals), Richmond Carlton (bass, harp, vocals), and Laura Giknis Langley (lead and background vocals, keyboards)—has developed an original sound shaped by shared influences including Rush, Steven Wilson, Gentle Giant, Steely Dan, Big Big Train, and Return to Forever.

Their most recent release, The Cycle Undone, was engineered by Rave Tesar (Renaissance), Jeff Bishop, and Brett Kull (Echolyn); features guest vocals from Annie Haslam (Renaissance, solo); and was mastered by Larry Fast (Synergy, Peter Gabriel). The album has been widely praised as “rich, nuanced, and unpredictable” (Albumrock) and “thoughtful and cleverly crafted” (iO Pages), with further acclaim from The Phantom Tollbooth and Sonic Perspectives. Tracks from the album have been featured on numerous podcasts and online radio stations, including Music in Widescreen, Epic Prog Radio, Xymphonia, and Progzilla, while the single “Embers” was shortlisted for PROG Magazine’s “Track of the Week.” Greg Spawton of Big Big Train named it his favorite prog release of the year in an interview with Progradar.org. Since its release, the band has resumed live activity, sharing bills with IZZ, opening for Big Big Train on the final stop of their 2025 North American tour, and headlining festivals such as ProgDay (NC) and Prog on the Ranch (FL).

The Tea Club is a New Jersey-based progressive rock band that stands out for blending technical prog composition with a deeply personal, emotional, and often theatrical approach to songwriting; less about virtuoso flash, more about expressive, evolving musical storytelling. At its core, the band is built around the songwriting partnership of brothers Dan and Patrick McGowan, whose distinctive guitar interplay and vocal harmonies have defined the group’s sound since its inception in 2003. Their music merges art-rock, folk, and experimental influences into long-form compositions that prioritize narrative flow, dynamic contrast, and emotional honesty.

For this performance, The Tea Club is presented in its most stripped-down configuration, featuring only Dan and Patrick McGowan. Stripped of full-band arrangements, the songs are reinterpreted in a more intimate format that highlights their essential architecture; interweaving guitars, lyrical focus, and the emotional weight at the center of the writing. Material drawn from across their catalog, including recent work such as "Chasm," is reshaped for this duo setting, revealing new angles of familiar pieces while emphasizing the immediacy and vulnerability that has always been present beneath the band’s more expansive studio productions.
