Step into a night of powerful storytelling and musical intensity as Anabasis takes the stage at The Button Factory on Friday, July 18.
Anabasis is a Massachusetts-based progressive rock collective led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Barry Thompson with lyrics by George Andrade. Known for their cinematic soundscapes and socially conscious concepts, Anabasis combines elements of classic rock, metal, and modern progressive music. Their debut album, Back From Being Gone, explores mythic and historical themes, while their 2023 release, The Battle – An Opioid Story, confronts the opioid epidemic through the lens of a modern rock opera. Expect epic arrangements, sharp musicianship, and songs that dig deeper than the average verse-chorus line.
This promises to be an unforgettable night of inventive arrangements, thought-provoking lyrics, and genre-defying sound.
Tickets are $10 online or $15 at the door. This is a show for listeners who want to be moved—and surprised.
