April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- MURRAY HOCKRIDGE & DAVE KILMINSTER DEBUT ALBUM 'CLOSER TO EARTH' ON iTUNES NOW!!!

Renowned guitarist Dave Kilminster (currently playing lead guitar with Roger Waters on 'The Wall' tour), and vocalist extraordinare Murray Hockridge release their first album together, 'Closer to Earth'... an exquisite collection of eleven beautifully crafted acoustic interpretations, featuring the hauntingly soulful voice of Murray Hockridge and the passionate, fiery acoustic guitar of Dave Kilminster.

The album is exclusively available on iTunes, and the early release of April 2011 follows a hugely successful promotional tour of the United States earlier this year, which featured tracks from 'Closer to Earth' along with original solo material from the English pair.

'Closer to Earth' was scheduled for a Fall release, but fan and critical demand have prompted this early digital release!! The CD will be pressed later this year to accompany a second, more extensive US tour in the Fall, which is currently being booked... A limited number of dates are still available and can be booked by contacting management or press relations. Fans and promoters may contact management and publicity for more information on prospective dates.
