power duo RED resumes its residency at THE GRILL AT BEAR CREEK THIS

on May 3.  More information is at: http://cityskies.com



IN THE NEAR FUTURE:


THE AM/FM SHOW ON WMUH:                      http://soundscapes.us/amfm
=======================================================================
My next stint on the AM/FM Show will be Saturday, May 10 at 6:00 am.
I will continue the special on Sequences Electronic Music Magazine's
sampler CDs.

Tune in to WMUH Allentown at 91.7 FM, broadcasting from the campus of
Muhlenberg College.  I alternate hosting the show with Bruce.  When I
am at the helm, the show features electronic, ambient, and spacemusic
at the beginning, an eclectic mix of genres in the middle, and winds
up with Progressive Rock.  WMUH's web site is
http://muhlenberg.edu/wmuh


PULSE:                                      http://soundscapes.us/pulse
=======================================================================
Pulse will be at the Maingate to kick off their Bike Night on Tuesday,
May 20.  Doors open at 6 pm and music starts at 7.  It is important
that people attend live music performances or else the clubs stop
hiring living, breathing musicians.

As always, please visit our website to find maps, directions, and other
information about each club we play.

PULSE plays at the level of a tribute band without specializing on any
one band.  This is no mean feat!  This high caliber Classic Rock band
plays the music of 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).



OTHER STUFF:


PINNACLE:                                       http://pinnacleband.com
=======================================================================
We've been asked to contribute a track to Tuonen Tytär Volume 2 which
pays tribute to Progressive Rock of the '70s from Finland.  The final
mix has been sent in for this compilation to be released on Musea
Records.

On Friday, September 12, Pinnacle will open for Polish band Riverside.
Riverside will be playing at two music festivals in September and this
is their only non-festival show in North America this year.  So catch
them while you can.  Pinnacle will unveil some new music that night and
proceeds benefit the Metlar Bodine House Museum in New Jersey.  So
while you're having fun, you can save history, too!
