30 Years In The Making
February 15, 2020 6:42 amRaul Malo, Ben Peeler, Robert Reynolds and Paul Deakin formed a band in Miami, Florida in 1989. Their sound was a unique combination or Country, Latin and Rock.
Their first album was released in 1991, and over the next dozen years, five more albums followed, bringing the band world-wide recognition.
Their 1995 album, “Music for All Occasions”, included the single, “Here Comes the Rain”, which won the band a Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group. They have placed a total of fourteen singles on the Billboard Country Chart.
The band has split up and re-united more than once, but they continue to record. Last November, to mark their thirtieth anniversary, they released, “Play the Hits”… an album of covers as a tribute to the artists who inspired the group.
