Ninth Choir
Ninth Choir is known for cinematic rock soundscapes in the manner of progressive rock and progressive metal.
The Ninth Choir project was created by Jeff Welsh as a creative chronicle of the magick of everyday life, from miraculous to mundane, with the lofty goal of serving as part of the soundtrack of someone's life, somewhere.
Welsh writes the music and lyrics, plays guitar, bass, keys and handles vocals and programming for the project. Contributing musicians include David Cheshire (drums, percussion, vocals), Tim Cart (guitar, vocals), Zander Cart (bass), and Meytal Cohen (drums). Tony Garrett (bass) and Ray Daniels (drums) contributed to the first album.
The first Ninth Choir album - IX - broke into the top 3 albums on the Reverbnation charts upon its release. Get it here on Amazon.
Rock band excels…
American progressive rock has received attention online from fans in Turkey, Israel and South Korea. In San Diego…the album reached the top 25 in the rock category on Reverbnation charts. After Ninth Choir decided to do more than jam together, they recruited Meytal Cohen whose Facebook page has attracted more than 370,000 fans and YouTube videos have attracted millions of views.

Progressive rock/metal new heavy Prog rock project (Ninth Choir) by Welsh. Exciting cinematic soundscapes that is a lot like a great mid-70s Prog rock album but with a lot of modern heaviness added to it. Welsh is a great and passionate musician and we’re glad he’s come back to the music…
