Highgate Wood rose to prominence in the early 1970s, propelled by the triple threat of dynamic front man Sean Underwood, wunderkind guitarist Peter Van Conklin, and keyboardist Corrine Kennedy. Dancing a line between artsy prog rock and mainstream melodics, they had a string of hit albums before suddenly disbanding in 1975 when a studio fire resulted in Corrine’s death, Peter’s descent into madness, and ultimately Sean’s suicide. Years later, Peter’s daughter Patti finds herself haunted by the ghost of Corrine Kennedy. Fearing she may be falling down the same mad rabbit hole as her father, she sets out to find the truth of the fateful night Highgate Wood self-destructed. The eight episodes of Highgate Wood are her investigation.

In addition to the audio drama, a full album of music from the fictional band is available on streaming and vinyl. The Very Best of Highgate Wood features music composed by Jamieson and Ian Ridenhour and was produced by Kari Estes (bassist for prog-metal band Atomic Guava).
