Pinnacle is the Lehigh Valley's premier Progressive Rock band.  They
craft a big sound of accessible music.  They have played at festivals
(NEARfest After Party, Prog Day and ProgOctoberfest) and theaters
(Crossroads in New Brunswick, NJ; Forum in Metuchen, NJ), backed Nick
D'Virgilio (Genesis, Tears for Fears, Spock's Beard) in concert, shared
the stage with Riverside (Poland), Spock's Beard (California), and
performed at The New Jersey Proghouse concert series multiple times.
Influences include Kansas, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis,
Beatles, Marillion, Spock's Beard, Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band, Rush,
and others.  The music is hook-based songs that include musical flights
of fancy that you can really sink your teeth into.
