Allen Whitman, former bassist with legendary virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani and co-founder of the influential San Francisco-based instrumental surf-rock trio The Mermen, announces the digital-only release (through label Squeakey Studios) of his 4th soundtrack/ambient travel log album The Eternal City.
