The Rising Tide was formed in Woburn Massachusetts in 1966 and disbanded in 1969. David Robinson, later of The Cars, named the group.

The group played at local dances and venues like The Seagate at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. The Commodore Ballroom in Lowell, Massachusetts. Kings Rook Coffee House in Ipswich, Massachusetts, and The Saxony Lounge, in Boston.

There were two versions of The Rising Tide. The pictured version was in existence the longest.

Steve Boyle (lead guitar) was replaced by George Davis of Burlington, Massachusetts. Joe Spinale (vocals) was replaced by Richard Winn, Burlington Massachusetts. Ken Holland (bass guitar) was replaced by Steve Billotta also of Burlington Massachusetts.

Gene McSweeney (organ) and David Robinson (drums) both of Woburn, Massachusetts remained.
