The Bollenberg Experience biography
John Bollenberg is an experienced music reviewer based in Belgium, and many high profile acts in the world of progressive rock have been reviewed by him over the years. Sometime around 2000 Bollenberg formed an idea of a concept album about Belgian city Brugge, and with the help of a plethora of friends from the world of progressive rock this resulted in the production of the concept album "If Only Stones Could Speak", released by French specialist progressive rock label Musea in 2002, under the artist moniker THE BOLLENBERG EXPERIENCE.

WHY IS THIS BAND LISTED AT PROGARCHIVES:
This side project by journalist John Bollenberg contains music with strong leanings towards symphonic as well as folk rock, and all the musicians participating are mostly well known names in the world of progressive rock. In total this merits an inclusion as a prog related artist.
