The Rising Tide’s romantic and introspective instrumental music has enchanted and enlivened listeners across the globe. Each piece we play has been carefully constructed from the depths of our hearts and souls, and this passion can be heard in each note. Even though Gary and Jonathan officially became The Rising Tide in 2014, their musical story together goes back many years. Fans of each other’s music for close to a decade, the two first had the opportunity to play together at an Instrument Builder’s show at Marylhurst University, near Portland, OR. Commissioned by the luthier who had made each of their custom guitars, Gary and Jonathan wrote their first duet, “Kindred Spirits” the night before their performance. Several years passed and both Gary and Jonathan began to tire of performing as soloists. Each remembered fondly the joy and fulfillment they felt when they performed “Kindred Spirits” together, and they decided to join forces and become The Rising Tide. They began performing around the Spokane-Coeur d’Alene area, and as their fanbase grew, The Rising Tide began to book public and private shows in nearby cities like Redmond, Leavenworth, and Walla Walla. This duo plays soothing, melodic, introspective instrumental music that is perfectly suited for restaurants, wineries, and private events. In early 2015, The Rising Tide released their first album, a 5 song EP titled “Morning’s Promise” – recorded, produced, and embellished by Terry Eutsler at Centric Studios in Liberty Lake, WA. They returned to the studio early in 2016 to record a full-length album, “The Theories of So-called Kings.” This is expected to be released later in 2016.
