After forming in Newmarket, ON, Glass Tiger kicked off their career in the summer of 1984 when they spent two evenings opening for Boy George and Culture Club at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens.
Then called, Tokyo, their dynamic, original sound captured the moment of the mid-80’s and led them to signing a record deal with Capitol Records. Tokyo officially became Glass Tiger.
Glass Tiger’s first album The Thin Red Line set a record for being the fastest selling debut recording in Canadian history, going gold within weeks of its release. Following this, the bands next two albums Diamond Sun and Simple Mission solidified their reputation as being one of Canada’s better song crafters.
Having toured with international music legends like Tina Turner in Europe, the ever-popular Journey (with Steve Perry) in America and Roxette throughout Europe and Canada, Glass Tiger is still going strong, 31 years later.
With their latest album 31, Glass Tiger is now into the third decade of a phenomenal music career. Recorded in Nashville by fellow Canadian entertainer Johnny Reid, Glass Tiger was guided back to the songs that originally made them stars in Canada and beyond.
Just as remarkable, the core band members have maintained a brotherhood built on respect and friendship throughout that journey.
Today the band includes original members Alan Frew on vocals and guitar, Sam Reid on keyboards, Al Connelly on guitar, and Wayne Parker on bass, as well as longtime drummer Chris McNeill who joined in 2000.
