TONIC took the music industry by storm in 1997 with 'Lemon Parade,' one of the most impressive debut releases in recent history. Following their #1 rock single, 'Open Up Your Eyes,' and top 10 rock track 'Casual Affair,' the band was awarded the 1997 Billboard Rock song of the year for 'If You Could Only See,' which topped the Rock, Modern Rock, Hot AC, AAA and CHR radio charts and rocketed the band to platinum-plus status in the U.S., Canada and Australia.
Frontman Emerson Hart and lead guitarist Jeff Russo, both east coast transplants, formed TONIC in Los Angeles in 1994. The two crafted their songs playing acoustic sets in local coffee houses. Adding a drummer and bass player, the band went on to hone its distinctive melodic rock sound at LA's esteemed blues joint, The Mint and at the now infamous Kibitz Room at Canter's Delicatessen, once a hot spot for late-night jamming with the likes of The Wallflowers, Slash and Lenny Kravitz.
While the bassist and drummer from the band's beginnings have since departed, the original vision of TONIC has flourished with the addition of Hart and Russo's friend Dan Lavery. TONIC fans know Lavery well as he toured with the band for virtually the entire 2 years they spent on the road promoting 'Lemon Parade.'
While the band's record company was shifting from Polydor to Universal under the recent Seagram acquisition of Polygram, TONIC busied themselves by creating their own website -- www.tonic-online.com -- and independently releasing an internet-only live EP entitled 'Live and Enhanced.' The EP features live tracks of some of their most popular songs, the never released video for the ballad 'Soldier's Daughter,' and the much in demand acoustic version of 'If You Could Only See' which is available only on this EP.
