Pinnacle will play a concert in support of the release of its second CD "Meld"
on Saturday, March 25 at the New Jersey Proghouse! We're practicing our asses
off to play some very complex material that is faithful to, yet independent of

for a real treat when the CD is ready! Order now because THEY'RE HERE!!! You
can own one before the official release date of March 25!!!
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!
Our first CD of five original tunes and one extra bonus surprise is available
there and at CD Baby! Check it out at http://cdbaby.com/pinnacle . 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 love the results.

CD in hand, we'll be beating the bushes for more gigs before then! Meanwhile,
check out the new look at the website.
Former members of ShadowPlay, Strange Brew and the Critters have combined their
talents to form this high caliber Classic Rock band which 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,
Joe Cocker, 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). We sadly say
by to Rob Stewart who has biwed out of the band for personal reasons. Sorry to
see you go, Rob. You really made us shine!
