All Together Separate was a Christian rock band from Riverside, California, US. They are frequently compared to Earth, Wind and Fire.[1]
The group was formed at California Baptist University in the late 1990s, and first began playing for student conferences and retreats.[2] Originally known as Praise House, they changed their name to All Together Separate because of complications with a Christian techno group with the same name around at the same time. Signing to Ardent Records, their first album was released in 1999, and was nominated for a Dove Award for Best Rock Album in 2000.[1] In 2001, Ardent released a live album recorded at their home church, Harvest Christian Fellowship.
Guitarist Andrew Shirley became a touring member of Switchfoot in 2003, and a full member of the band subsequently.[2]
