After two dozen years of being asked, "So when are you guys gonna record?" guitarist Skip Heller and pianist Heath Allen have finally gone to the studio and come out with something truly unique, influenced by everything from Italian film scores to bluegrass music and everything in between.
The Night's Not Yet Over is the perfect cool-out record. It's your personal soundtrack at 2 am.

About the Artist
Ropeadope Alumni Skip Heller is back again for another release with his always talented, impressive trio. The trio’s music this time around follows a mixture of country and rock, a nice reminder to the simplicity, but beauty that can exist within music. Calling the music simple is not to downplay Skip Heller and company’s musicianship, but a raw, not heavily produced masterpiece. One that allows the listener to be captured into a calming, yet focused listening state.
Time Out New York calls Skip: "an American guitar hero," while All About Jazz calls him a "genius." We just call him whenever-we-want fantabulous music.
