It would be news to some that their near thirty-year collaboration has previously yielded six highly regarded studio albums and that their almost secretively rare live shows could be counted on a single hand. Their new release, Before Our Eyes their first on the Frontiers label , the first in several years following Bond of Union (1996), Alliance (1997), Missing Piece (1999), Destination Known (2007), Road to Heaven (2008) and Fire and Grace (2018) marks their 7th offering. You would be wrong to assume that the semi-occasional nature of their efforts indicates a lack of commitment or waning passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the new album, the core of the band remains the same with guitarist Gary Pihl (Boston), drummer Mr. David Lauser (Sammy Hagar) and bassist Robert Berry (3, GTR). After Sammy Hagar stopped his solo career to join Van Halen, his drummer David Lauser, along with guitarist Gary Pihl still longed for the allusive missing pieces for a new project outside of their main gigs. Early in 1993, Robert Berry received a call from Lauser. They agreed to try and reached out to keyboardist Alan (Fitz) Fitzgerald (ex-Night Ranger). They gathered together at Hagar's studio in Mill Valley and worked through songs from their demos. According to a witness, “there was an immediate connection. Everybody in the room could feel it. The vibe was powerful and inspiring”. They immediately recognized the common thread that would feed their creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA signature style was beginning to emerge, and the band was bonding even though they were spread geographically throughout the country, with Pihl in Boston, Fitz based in Texas, Lauser in Southern California and Berry in the heart Silicon Valley. Over the years and still today Alliance continues to solidify and bolster their long-distance collaborations. Though the scheduling remains challenging their passion and commitment remains energized. Their musical benchmark, perhaps a product of their high-profile roles outside of Alliance, has always been pushed to the highest standard. And it’s clear that they always strive to surpass their previous release. Thus, they have earned a loyal, patient and growing fan base over the years that are sure to enjoy and embrace the new album “Before our Eyes”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929556091246,"sku":"gaf1793354707611","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/3902\/1934\/files\/alliance-before-our-eyes-cd_1.jpg?v=1793354715","url":"https:\/\/www.peonycorner.shop\/products\/alliance-before-our-eyes-cd","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
