On 07/16/08 we found out Jimmy Joyce's broken wrist is healed completely. "TA" also found out that Jimmy Joyce has his drivers license. Congratulations to Jimmy! But now he has to work to pay for the auto insurance. Looking forward to Jimmy jamming with us again. Maybe even a Music Video. Jimmy Joyce would be a great director/producer to shoot our Video.

AUSTIN GORMAN Drummer
June 2008 Percussionist
Austin was one of TA's original drummers. Austin is a terrific percussionist who really gave it his all on stage with us. He is a unique and gifted performer who made us sound really good. Austin not only played the Drums but also the Conga's. Jimi and I thought that the Congas would be a great fit in the band so we could perform in coffee houses and other gigs. Austin did great with the Congas. We were saddened when he quit the band in the 1st quarter of 2008. We were disappointed to find out he had joined another band without us knowing. Even with this unfortunate event we kept a dialogue with Austin. As professionals and true friends we thought that it would be great if he was a guest performer with "Tomorrow's Alliance." That way he could be with another band doing covers. We are very pleased he came back to perform with us again. This time in his music career he is creating the sounds of yesterday's hits and combinding new songs with his cover band. Austin is a true leader and we know that under his leadership his band will do great. You can't keep Austin down when it comes to music. His ability to recreate Rock and Roll songs from years past is in his blood. He really can jam! He was in the Junior High School Band and will be joining the High School Band this fall. Austin also has an "A" average in his classroom work. Jimi and I wish Austin great success in all that he does. We are very pleased he came back to "Tomorrow's Alliance" as a Guest Performer and friend.
12/29/10. "TOMORROW'S ALLIANCE" has bad news. Our Guest performer, Austin Gorman quit the band today. Austin did not want to be our auxillary percussionist and our drummer. We need a percussionist who is willing to play drums, bongos and congas. "TA" performs a lot of smaller venues that require only an acoustic sound. Not the whole drum set is needed at these gigs. We want Austin to join us on these smaller gigs. A percussionist for "TA" must join us, be part of our practice sessions. On stage we need our guest performers to wear "TOMORROW'S ALLIANCE" wardrobe/uniform. Give us a commitment, a schedule when he is available. We recognize that Austin is a great drummer. We will miss him. Austin will be a great asset in any band that he is in and will do great things in his life. We acknowledge this. We wish him the best and will always remember the happy times we all shared. "TOMORROW'S ALLIANCE" is always working to be at a Professional Musical Level. To perform our Original Music to the public with a high level of Excellence we work hard to attain. Arthur and Jimmy
Winston Dyer Drummer
Winston Dyer Drummer
Winston is a terrific drummer. He has been playing the drums since he was 4 or 5 years old. He has a fantastic solo act that includes lighted drum sticks. Lights are lowered and Winston starts his act with those florescent drum sticks. Man what a show! Winston has also been with a few different bands from time to time. Jimi and I have introduced Winston to the Congas and Winston as usual took off with it. We asked Winston to do a birthday party in early 2008. He was walking past the banquet hall we were performing at and we asked him to join us when we were on break outside the hall. It was a last minute thing. I mean it was last, last minute. We thought Winston would do a good job. Winston did just fine. Winston took direction on stage during that performnce and did fantastic. I mean it was great. We introduced one of our newest songs at that performance, "Stuck In The Middle of It All". It WAS GREAT! The crowd loved the song. We knew then Winston was special. Testing a musician on stage while a performance is going on, that's just crazy, but Jimi, Jeff and I knew he could do it with us leading him on. Right on Winston! Jimi and I are so pleased that Winston will be guest performing with "TA".

Matt Swiec Auxillary Percussionist and Saxaphone Matt Swiec We have known Matt for years. Matt has finally found the time to join us as a Guest Performer. He is the younger brother of Zach Swiec, our original drummer and song writer. Matt plays the Saxaphone for the H.S. Band and is on the Speech Team at Reavis. Matt is also working toward his Eagle Scout. That takes dedication and hard work. Matt's schedule is thin but he has chosen to join us on stage at times in 2009. Jimi, and I have been wanting to add a brass section to some of our songs and this summer Matt will be working on this project with us. "TA" is proud to have Matt join our team.

Brian loves music and is in the high school band. He is the all around go to guy the school band relies on. He loves the Drums and Congas! He also loves baseball. We have not asked if he is a Sox or Cub fan yet. We probably won't do that. It's about keeping the peace within the band.

ERICA RAMOS Vocalist and "TA" Back Up Singer
Vocalist, Erica Ramos.
Erica has performed on numerous High School and College stage productions. Her past experience as a supporting and lead actress has caught the attention from college recruiters that have offered Erica the opportunity to expand her experience through professional training. Erica has accepted a scholoarship from Columbia College. Ultimately, Erica has settled at Elmhurst College to perform in the Jazz Band along with the strong training that Elmhurst College's offers in the Chicagoland area.. Her past experience on stage has paid off. With her lovely voice, Tomorrow's Alliance was fortunate to have the opportunity to have Erica as a Guest performer with the band. She did a great job singing with Jimi and I. She also caught on quickly with our music and was always a pleasure to train. A true professional, taking direction without complaining. Tomorrow's Alliance also shared the stage with Erica when she performed her Broadway tunes at The Drury Lane Theater. We are looking forward to working with her again. We will be following her accomplishments in theater, along with her musical career and reporting it back to you. Great job Erica and Thankyou. Arthur Liceaga : )

We at "TA" were pleased when Bryant agreed to perform with us at Tejano Fest in 2008, on his birthday and DuPage County Fair in 2010. We had alot of fun and Byrant really did a great job on stage. A true professional.
