New Line Ups
In June 2007, Nardelli said, "The Syn today is me and the musicians I chose to play with." Nardelli formed a new Syn line up in 2008, as follows:
- Steve Nardelli - vocals
- Francis Dunnery - guitars
- Tom Brislin - keyboards
The band recorded a new album, Big Sky, released early 2009, with Brett Kull, Paul Ramsey and Dorie Jackson. A US tour began (with Kull, Ramsey, Jackson and Jamie Bishop) in April 2009, but was cancelled after 6 dates, with the band breaking up. Brislin, Kull, Ramsey and Bishop went on to work with Dunnery subsequently. Big Sky was voted the best progressive rock album of 2009 at USA Progressive Music magazine.
In October 2008, Umbrello Music Entertainment released a track written by Nardelli for the musicians from The Syn fan forum called "Reasons and Rituals". Band members include Steve Nardelli (vocals/guitars), Steve Sikes-Nova (vocals), Cary Clouser (flute), Steve Nicholas (keys), Kevin Stills (guitars/mixing), Brett Kull (guitars) and Kelly Child (drums). The executive producer for the project is radio station host and teacher Steve Sikes-Nova. The project was named 14 Hour Technicolour Dream V-Band after the Nardelli/Jackman written Syn track.
In December 2010, Nardelli announced a new collaboration with Swedish band Moon Safari, known for their artistic rock sound and five-part harmonies. Recording sessions began in December 2010 in Skelleftea, Sweden. The resultant new Syn album was scheduled for release in 2011. The album is to be called The Trustworks and is now scheduled for release in 2013.
