Gathering Field - Reliance (1999)

Coffeehouse rock with elements of folk and jazz thrown in for good measure.

The Gathering Field began in a burned-out third floor in Grove City, Pennsylvania when Bill Deasy, Dave Brown and Jim DiSpirito (Rusted Root Percussionist) hunkered down for the weekend with guitars, tequila, microphones and recording gear.

The resulting Glory Bound Sessions provided more than enough evidence as to the magical creative chemistry between Dave and Bill.

This chemistry led to the formation of a band and the production of their self-titled debut disc in 1994.

The band's popularity skyrocketed when one of the regions most powerful rock stations, WDVE, began playing a song called, "Lost in America." With the release of the record which bore the same name The Gathering Field garnered a deal with Atlantic Records in 1996 and continued to develop it's ever-widening base of supporters.

Since leaving Atlantic, Gathering Field has continued to grow artistically with the release of "Reliance" (1999) and "So Close to Home" (2001.)
