RED:
=======================================================================
Red is Karl Eidenhart on acoustic guitar and Chris Michels on violin
and mandolin.  TONIGHT, January 4, RED returns to the Inn at Bear Creek
 from 9:00 pm to midnight.  Sadly, the
mountain isn't open for skiing, but the food is still AWESOME and the
entertainment is getting better with age...and Karl and Chris are OLD.
This is going to be the first gig of their 10th year doing this!  Come
on out. It's going to be a riot.



COMING THIS WEEK:


Cereal Killer

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

WLVR, WDIY, 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.

that you won't want to miss.

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),
