Summary:

A variety of influences are present with emphasis on long pieces with intricate, syncopated arrangements while maintaining a strong focus on melodic content and thematic development. The music appeals to fans of classic as well as newer forms of prog-rock and anyone enjoying complex arrangements with melody and emotion.

Founding members of Thirteen of Everything first convened in 2000. After a couple of years of jamming on musical ideas and developing arrangements, the band name was chosen and a self- titled CD-R was recorded and released in 2002, and distributed at NEARfest in 2002 and 2003. During 2003 ToE performed at venues in Austin and Dallas.
In late 2003, ToE received an offer from French progressive rock record label Musea Records to manufacture and distribute the self-titled recording. ToE accepted, but preferred to make a better recording and add new material to, so ToE proceeded to record what became their debut album. “Welcome, Humans”, was released by Musea Records in 2005 and received many positive reviews in progressive rock circles and publications.

Since that time, due to various factors including changes in personnel, ToE activity was sporadic, but focused on writing and recording new material, rather than live performance. In 2016, ToE returned to live performance.

The new recordings are mostly complete, with plans to finalize and release them as a 2nd album.
