features great dance material as well as great listening music (ear
candy!) by groups such as Steely Dan, Santana, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd,
Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Blues Brothers, Beatles, and other top shelf
groups.  The group includes Greg Van Allen (guitars and vocals), Rod
Gilkeson (vocals), Bob Ashmore (Keyboards), Bill Fox (bass and vocals),
and Billy Fenstermacher (drums and vocals).

Preston Lane in Upper Saucon Township, east of Route 378 for an outdoor
on Friday, August 18, at 6:00 pm.

You can hear Malarky in Celtic action at your private party.  Contact
Patti Edgar for booking by emailing patti@malarkymusic.com or calling

PINNACLE:                                       http://pinnacleband.com
=======================================================================
Pinnacle will take it on the road to up state New Yord in October to
play at the Progoctoberfest festival.  More details to come.

Initial reactions to Meld, our new CD, is overwhelmingly great!  We
think you're in for a real treat when you buy the CD!  Order now
because THEY'RE HERE!!!

WLVR, WDIY/WXLV, and WMUH are already playing tracks from Meld as well
as many internet radio stations!!!!!

The CD was mastered at Star City Recording by Carl Cadden James (of
InsideOut recording group Shadow Gallery) under the supervision of
legendary producer Jeff Glixman (Kansas, Yngwie Malmsteen).  The cover
art was done by Martin Kornick who has done covers for Emerson, Lake &
Palmer, Transatlantic, and the mighty Spock's Beard.

While you're web surfing, check out the Pinnacle web site at the NEW
address: http://pinnacleband.com   You can order Meld there right now!
You can also buy the CD (and our first one, too) at CD Baby.

Our first CD of five original tunes and one extra bonus surprise is
available there and at CD Baby!  You can also see any member of the
band to buy your very own copy of our first release called "A Man's
Reach..."  We had fun putting it together and still love the results.
