Joe Satriani Bass Sideman & Mermen Co-founder Allen Whitman Releases 4th Ambient Soundtrack “The Eternal City”
ALLEN WHITMAN, former bassist with legendary virtuoso guitarist JOE SATRIANI and co-founder of the influential San Francisco-based instrumental surf-rock trio THE MERMEN, announces the digital-only release (through label SQUEAKEY STUDIOS) of his 4th soundtrack/ambient travel log album “THE ETERNAL CITY.”

The album, his 4th in a series, continues the artist’s predilection for incorporating acoustic guitar-driven sonic environments with samples and synths - and this time out forwarding the in-your-face pace of that Grande Dame of cities, Rome. The sounds, making use of field recordings made on his recent sojourn in Italy, are compelling, occasionally contemplative, and often propulsive.

ALLEN WHITMAN, a stalwart of the San Francisco music scene, credits past live performance and musical collaboration with, among many others, HELIOS CREED, TINY TIM, THE SANDALS, THE INK SPOTS, NELS CLINE, MIKE KENEALLY, CARMINE APPICE, DJ QUEST, SAMMY HAGAR, TONY MACALPINE, DWEEZIL ZAPPA, STEVE LUKATHER, STEVE VAI, STEVE MORSE and JOHN PETRUCCI.
Additionally, WHITMAN’s band, FIVE DAY MIRACLE TENT CRUSADE, explores deep ambient and dense vocal-heavy refusenik-pop reminiscent of Godley and Creme, John Cale and Holgar Czukay, recently collaborating with chanteuse DOROTHY MOSKOWITZ of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WHITMAN has worked extensively in live music for theater, particularly with California-based Theatre of Yugen for live performance in a modern Noh style in San Francisco, New York City, Tokyo and Austin.
