Heaven & Earth

Classic Rock band, Heaven & Earth, released their third studio album, titled Dig back on April 23rd via Quarto Valley Records. It was produced by Dave Jenkins who has previously worked with Metallica, Tower of Power and more. The album features special guests Howard Leese (Heart, Paul Rodgers), Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi) and David Paich (Toto). The second single and power ballad from the album is "I Don't Know What Love Is".

When asked about this Dig, the band's founder and visionary, guitarist, Stuart Smith stated "I feel that with the crafting of the songs on this album, the incredible band we've put together, especially with powerhouse vocalist Joe Retta and the unwavering support of Quarto Valley Records' President, Bruce Quarto, we really have a shot at getting Heaven & Earth the attention it deserves. This album is by far, the best thing I have ever done in my life!"

Heaven & Earth members include guitarist Stuart Smith, singer Joe Retta, bassist Chuck Wright, drummer Richie Onori and keyboardist Arlan Schierbaum. Together, they fuse elements of hard rock, blues and bits of classical with bravado and a razor-sharp focus.

The band released two critically acclaimed albums, Heaven & Earth Featuring Stuart Smith in 1994 and Windows to the World in 2000. Now, with Dig complete, the guitarist says Heaven & Earth is a true band, an energized collective of like-minded musicians who are excited at bringing its unique, celestial brand of rock to audiences all over the world in 2013. "All the pieces are in place," he explains with graceful candor. "We're ready to make this our year."
