the duo recorded three delicious light proggy melodic rock albums, but DBA was some kind of a side-project to them. Well, they decided to play gigs for the first time, and “Live In England” is the result.

Super-duo Geoff Downes & Chris Braide, known as the Downes Braide Association (DBA), release their new album “Skyscraper Souls” through their own label X2X Records via Cherry Red. This is their 3rd collaboration and follows their two previous critically-acclaimed releases “Pictures of You” (2012) and “Suburban Ghosts” (2015).

Founded in the early ’80s by vocalist Robert Fleischman, a man who, at one time, had been plucked out of obscurity to join AOR super gods Journey, the band featured a bevy of heavy hitters from the L.A. session world including guitarist Tony Berg (Jay Gruska, Marc Jordan), drummer Gary Ferguson (Eddie Money, Glenn Hughes) and bassist Trey Thompson.
