Inventioning has released several songs including “Walking Talking” featuring guest lead vocalist, Rock and Roll Hall of famer Jon Anderson, and “Onward,” a tribute to Chris Squire (bassist f ... or YES) which also features an elaborate music video filmed at lighthouses on the Oregon Coast.

Inventioning - Rock Band - Nashville, Tennessee Event Location: Online Event Type: Podcast Review 25th October 2021

““this might be my new band crush. I’m really diggin’ this band. His (Jon’s) voice sounds great, the music is great, the band is great AND the whole package, literally, the artwork is outstanding! I love the eye-candy that comes with all of this!" “There’s also a shoutout of Onward (the song) which is great! This young lady, Bridgette Lewis who sings vocals is just out-of-this-world. If you’re going to cover a song by such an iconic band with such an identifiable singer, you’ve got to hit a home-run, you’ve got to totally score and they absolutely do it a great justice, yet it sounds like them. They do a wonderful job… I’m a fan, I want to dive in and hear a lot more of their stuff… The Onward video is beautiful.” I’m in love with this band! Go to 1:16:00 in the podcast to hear their comments.” Dan Shinder (along with Steven Shinder) - Yesshift
