Heaven & Earth, a blues based rock ‘n roll band was formed in 1996 by British guitarist Stuart Smith after being offered a record deal by Samsung to record a solo album. The album, entitled “Stuart Smith’s Heaven & Earth” which features some of rock’s
top vocalists such as Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora, Joe Lynn
Turner (Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow) and Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple has been consistently hailed with rave reviews and
is considered by some to be a classic rock mainstay. The CD
has also become a much sought after item among collectors
and rock aficionado’s throughout Europe and Asia.

After the first release, Stuart was offered a second deal by European label Frontiers Records, known for signing some of Europe’s top rock ‘n roll acts. By this time, Stuart had made the decision to put together a more cohesive band situation and had enlisted the help of drummer Richie Onori who had already
played on the first release. Richie, a well known and respected drummer, has played with such rock icons as Rick Derringer, Louis Johnson, Bobby Kimball (Toto) and also played with
Stuart in the group Aliens of Extraordinary Ability with Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Stuart and Richie made the decision to go with
guitarist/producer Howard Leese from Heart to produce the
second album entitled “Windows to the World” which was
released in 2001 (Frontiers Records) and again received rave reviews and solidified themselves in today’s classic rock genre with their fan base growing ever larger throughout the world. In support of the release, the group toured worldwide and was received by large, enthusiastic crowds wherever they played.

Heaven & Earth are now hard at work with Grammy/Emmy
Award winning producer Dave Jenkins on their latest release entitled: “Screaming for Redemption” which is being recorded at their own recording studio (Wine Cellar Studios in Woodland
Hills). The CD is projected for release later this year on their
own label, Black Star Records. The new label was the next
logical step in today’s independent label environment and has already secured other signings which will soon be announced
with the official launch of the label.

In addition, the band has released a limited edition EP, also produced by Dave Jenkins, entitled “A Taste of Heaven”. The EP includes cuts from Heaven & Earth’s first release as well as four cuts from their upcoming “Screaming For Redemption”.

With the band’s strong European and Asian following and popularity firmly established, its sights are now set on breaking into the U.S. market and achieving the same level of success. Black Star Records, with a distribution deal in place and its forthcoming release of “Screaming for Redemption” has also acquired the rights to the first CD (“Stuart Smith’s Heaven & Earth”) with two previously unheard bonus tracks featuring
stunning vocal performances by Bobby Kimball of Toto and Joe Lynn Turner of Rainbow. The U.S. release date is slated for November 2nd 2004.

In a musical environment dominated by pop corporate thinking, Heaven & Earth has stuck to its guns and continues to blaze its own trail knowing, believing and proving that there continues to
be a demand for their style of music.
