The Reunion is one of todays top premiere instrumental acoustic bands. Formed in 1991 by Todd Janko and Thomas Cacho; the Reunion was a blues band for the next few years. One day they decided to go in a different direction, and in 1996, The Reunion released their first self-titled instrumental release called The Reunion. The songs were all acoustic built on 2 guitars with sprinkles of Spanish origins. The Reunion made a name for itself, getting decent reviews and playing in coffee shops. 3 years later, The Reunion went on to make an album (filled with drum tracks) called The Reunion II. As the popularity grew, the time had come to produce the next record. Step in John Halpin, one of Todd's best friends, to help put the finishing touches on the 3rd release Closure, in 2002. Closure was marketed throughout the US and International regions, even getting the record at number 24 on the American New Age Voice Charts. The Reunion is making another run with coming up with the next set of songs set for course in 2008. The new album will be called Consequences; inspired from the last three years of musical, spiritual and emotional experiences. You can enjoy some of the songs including "Waiting" and "Another Day" right here on myspace. This whole concept comes down to giving people want they want; music that isn't water downed, filled with sugar, or just plan fake. You have found us. You have come to the right place!

Hallo, my friend! Just wanted to let you know that you can now purchase my new E.P., Cowley Road, on itunes! "The fifth song [on the Cowley Road E.P.], "Crazy," could well be Skidmore's ticket to the big time. Great hook, old-timey charm, spare arrangement. Hypnotic is what it is....With "Crazy," Gayle Skidmore is one bit of good luck away from hitting the big time." - Jim Trageser, North County Times
