Space Opera

Space Opera were formed in the past due ’60s by Brett Wilson (drums/percussion), Philip White colored (bass/acoustic guitar/keyboards/vocals), Scott Fraser (acoustic guitar/keyboards/vocals), and David Bullock (electric guitar/flute/harmonica/vocals). (Basically Wilson had made an appearance in the one-off studio room group Whistler, Chaucer, Detroit & Greenhill, whose lone LP became a collector’s item following the band’s T-Bone Burnett became a well-known manufacturer and performer.) After years spent playing little gigs and huge festivals as well, the Dallas/Foot. Worth-based group finally documented their first record in 1972. After shifting to NY, the music group impressed renowned music biz big-shot Clive Davis more than enough to be provided a agreement with Columbia. The music group turned the give down and made a decision to indication with Epic’s Canadian branch because these were provided innovative control of the record. The self-titled Space Opera premiered in 1973 to small acclaim and zero commercial achievement. The band’s exclusively American synthesis of pop, rock and roll, nation, folk, jazz, as well as classical place them in the same innovative ballpark as the Traveling Burrito Brothers, the Byrds, as well as the Pleased Dead. Despite hardly ever releasing another record, the group remained together on / off through the entire ’70s and ’80s, surviving in Tx, Canada, and NY and playing displays wherever they could. In 1997 the group staged a hometown return present in Ft. Value, played jointly sporadically from then on, and documented Space Opera II. In 2004 their initial record was re-released by Enthusiasts’ Choice.
