The John Irvine Band’s second album ’Next Stop’ was released in September 2013, once again to unanimous critical acclaim. 'Metaphysical Attractions' was released with a new lineup of Rich Kass: Drums, Rob Ironside: Alto Sax and Gwen Kelso: Flute and won the 3rd prize in Friday Night Progressive's INDEPROG Awards Fusion category in 2019. 2020 saw the release of 'The Machinery Of The Heavens' featuring the 'Duo' lineup of John Irvine and Rich Kass.
