Said Roland: “30 years (yeah) you’re damn right to believe we still do our gig with an audience across the world is such a dream. Speaking of dreams, as a kid determined that rock n’ roll was my life, I dreamed of making a double album, well here you go! ‘Here to Eternity’ recorded at Elvis’ estate in Palm Springs, CA. Wow, Wow, and Wow. 20 songs that truly show the personality of this band and our musical journey! This recording is not the pinnacle of the band, but it’s the best one yet! Shouldn’t we all feel the next day as our best? Well enjoy our best till the next one.”
The band will hit the road with Hootie & the Blowfish this summer for the “Summer Camp with Trucks Tour. The trek will visit 43 cities across the U.S. and Canada, kicking-off May 30th in Dallas and runs through September 28th in West Palm Beach. For tickets, head here.
