The Samurai of Prog (TSOP) is a truly exceptional force in modern progressive rock.
The ambitious, visually stunning, and musically sophisticated collective has more than 30 000 albums sold worldwide. After inquiries in numerous interviews and fan requests globally, TSOP is finally playing a live tour spanning Finland and Europe in 2026.
The Samurai of Prog (TSOP) is a world-class progressive rock collective known for cinematic concept albums, lush symphonic arrangements, and striking visual artistry by Ed Unitsky . The band was founded in 2009 by bassist Marco Bernard , who was soon joined by Finnish drummer Kimmo Pörsti , and USA-based multi-instrumentalist/singer Steve Unruh . These three formed the core trio of TSOP.
They have since collaborated with legends including Jon Davison (Yes), Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings), and Steve Hackett (Genesis), Ton Scherpenzeel (Camel, Kayak) and Clive Nolan (Pendragon). Their acclaimed discography spans over 20 albums, from 2011’s Undercover to 2024’s The Time Machine .
In 2026, TSOP will take their epic soundscapes to the stage for the very first time, with a dynamic line-up featuring Marco Grieco (keyboards), Toni “Tony Riveryman” Jokinen (guitar), Risto Salmi (saxes, EWI), Bona Sandström (vocals), Jan-Olof Strandberg (bass), and Kimmo Pörsti (drums).
