=======================================================================
Pinnacle will take it on the road to up state New York October 14 to

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.
http://cdbaby.com/group/pinnacleband

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.
