Marco Sfogli Named Guest Guitarist On Debut Solo Release Of Elina Laivera

Elina Laivera, ex-vocalist of the Greek act Seduce the Heaven, has announced that James LaBrie guitarist Marco Sfogli will appear on the her debut solo album/project "Kaleidoscope." The album is a collaboration with French keyboardist/composer Viv Lalu. The album is targeted for release in late 2015.

The announcement reads:

"It is with great joy and honor that we announce the magical guitar power of MARCO SFOGLI in our team!

"Guitar player, composer and arranger, Marco needs normally no further introduction but for those of you who might not know, Marco has also been lending his sensational guitar sounds to James LaBrie (being also member of his solo band) and Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Alex Argento, Virgil Donati, LALU and more!"

Elina commented: 'Being a James LaBrie fan myself, I listened to Marco's playing for the first time on the album 'Elements Of Persuasion' and I was blown away. I could never imagine that years later, I would meet Marco in Frankfurt, Germany at the legendary Musikmesse in March 2014. I watched his performance at the DV MARK booth with my producer Viv Lalu by my side and I told him right away 'I want to have him on my album! Such musicality and power! That's it!'

More guests are soon to be announced.
