COLUMBUS, Ohio - OhioPen -- Columbus, OH - Renowned musician Anthony S. Anselmo, the creative force behind Central Ohio's Premier Progressive Rock Band Picasso's Dream (http://www.picassosdream.com/) and his solo endeavor, The Anselmo Project (http://theanselmoproject.bandcamp.com/), is thrilled to announce the release of his latest single, "Explorers." This tribute cover, a rock rendition of The Midnight's hit track from their Kids album, showcases Anselmo's musical prowess and creativity, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the acclaimed Synthwave band's iconic sound.

In this rendition, The Anselmo Project (http://theanselmoproject.bandcamp.com/) enlisted a lineup of exceptionally talented musicians to elevate the song to new heights in the realm of modern rock. The track features TheV on Guitar, Chuck McDowell on drums, Philippe Pansard on Bass, and the soulful vocals of Cam Stark, a local talent from the Columbus region.
