BIO
Glen
Carroll and his band have catapulted from a sold out 500-seat debut
concert to performing concerts in front of crowds numbering 53,000
plus.
Having opened for many "legends" of rock and roll, Glen
Carroll comes as close to the glory of the Glimmer Twins as anyone
can.
Glen has been honored and featured in countless newspapers and television
shows. Entertainment Weekly writes: "(Glen) makes the ultimate tribute;
Mick in the 21st Century." "In singer Glen Carroll, the group offers
dead-on-Mick look-and sound-alikes." "For those Rolling Stones fans
shut out of the Rolling Stones tours by ticket prices and traveling
distances, Glen is the next best thing to being there". The New
York Village Voice says, " The show you've been waiting for. "The
East Coast Rocker reports "I think they're great. An excellent show,
complete with good sound and solid grooves to every composition.
"Twist and Shout's music critic writes "Glen Carroll is the Jumping
Jack Flash icon of Rock-n-Roll."
Boasting a talent pool of multi-platinum musicians, the musicianship
is never less than top-shelf. Members of Glen's band
have been featured in Entertainment Weekly, Details Magazine, The
New York Village Voice, Twist and Shout, The East Coast Rocker,
Gig, Steppin Out, Guitar Player, Modern Drummer as well as nationally
televised performances on CBS, ABC, FOX, VH1 and MTV. The talents
of these fine musicians have been combined to produce the ultimate
International Rock and Roll band. From the inception, the number
one criteria for Glen was and still is "A band that IS rock and
roll," not just a band playing rock and roll. This is not an ordinary
concert; the combination of music and effects such as balloons,
flowers and fireworks make it a festive event. The show is a well
rehearsed combination of sound, lighting and music…Rock and Roll
music. The marriage of traditional guitars and thunderous drums
is carried out ceremoniously. Add the classic vocals, horns, heys,
searing harp and the combination is complete.

"GIMMIE A LITTLE DRINK" Happy New Year 2000! Glen was honored for
his long standing working relationship with the world famous Hard
Rock Cafe chain in the year 2000. The main office in London
decided to name a new drink after Glen's band. This was the first
time in history The Hard Rock Cafe has ever named a drink after a
musical group. The unveiling of the new drink coincided with the arrival
of Sticky Fingers in Bali, during their Far east tour of Indonesia
and China. In addition to Bali, the band performed in Jakarta, Hong
Kong and Beijing. The official ingredients to make a Sticky Fingers
drink are as follows: Bacardi, Vodka, Tequila. Dry Gin, Triple Sec,
Lime Juice, Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice, Grenadine, and topped with
Sprite. Just when I thought a Long Island Iced Tea packed a punch!
| After
returning home, Glen toured the rest of the year at their frequent
watering holes including Hard Rock Cafes, House of Blues, Mustang
Sally's, Baby Boomers, The Toy Tiger, Six Flags, The Spectrum,
Casino Magic in Biloxi and Bay Saint Louis, MTV Beach Party
at Panama City, Florida and MTV Beach Party in Corpus Christie,
TX , Club Sticky Fingers in Little Rock, and more than we can
remember. |

With the new Millennium safely behind
him, 2001 found Glen in the spotlight once again in between touring.
Frontman Glen Carroll was interviewed and graced a full page photo
spread in Details magazine (Special Music Edition, Nov. 2001). Journalist
Steve Kurutz conducted the interview. Steve's reason for the interview
was simple. "Glen and the band are great!" While attending Columbia
University in New York City, Steve would attend performances in the
world famous music hub of Greenwich Village.
Hollywood Producer Christopher
Crowe selected Glen to perform for his birthday in 2002 high up in
the hills of sunny California. The A-list gala event was complete
with wall to wall celebrities singing and dancing the night away to
classic rock and roll and industrial strength blues.
The annual Musikfest
held each summer in Bethlehem Pa, is an ideal location to see your
favorite bands or just to get away. The festival organizers recently
added Glen to their roster of artists. Glen performed along with Sheryl
Crow, The Neville Brothers and many more for an evening of timeless
rock and roll.
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR
WINE CALIFORNIA" 2003 concert highlights included a special charity
event on September 6th in San Francisco at the posh Broadway Studios
(435 Broadway). The "Roll On Charley" benefit is an annual benefit
and their website is located at RollOnCharley.com The sponsors and
guests in attendance is testimony to part of the reason San Francisco
is one of the greatest places in the world to visit and live. Thank
ya' kindly California.
San Francisco hosted Glen again when he began his 2004 annual tour
of the West coast by performing his opening night for the "Genny
Fund" . The band began their performances with eighteen
scheduled appearances throughout California.

added Glen to their play roster. Glen performed his debut appearance
at BB's August 16th to a sold out crowd of 800 enthusiastic
fans. Sherry Wilson of Manhattan had this to say about the Glen's
performance at BB Kings, "I first saw Glen at the shore in New
York and he totally blew me away. Most of the people here tonight
are here because they love Glen and rock and roll. Last summer
I drove all the way from New York to Tennessee in my beat up
VW to see Glen at the Boneroo festival. He was so great! |

"FHM
Magazine threw one helluva Halloween party in New York
City. Rumored to be haunted, the rusty if not rustic location was
a former cargo ship that's been transformed into an entertainment
complex. The ship is permanently docked on the upper west side of
Manhattan at 57th St. Glen began the night of entertainment with "Sympathy
For The Devil" followed by "Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Paint
It Black, Dancing With Mr. D, Under Cover Of The Night, Can't You
Hear Me Knockin', Monkey Man, Let It Bleed, Dead Flowers" and "Jumpin'
Jack Flash." At the end of a carefully chosen first set of cover tunes,
singer Glen told the audience, "something for the agnostics in the
crowd.
"Spring- 2004" The PGA tournament held
in Augusta, GA had Glen rockin' in the Grand Ballroom April 9th with
the "who's who" of professional athletes, celebrities, and fans of
Glens. Although the "19th Hole" is a favorite among most golfers,
Glen confesses to having had a moving moment on "the 20th Hole." I
didn't ask!
"IF YOU CAN'T ROCK ME" In early
2004 Glen teamed up with Mambo Sons guitarist Tom Guerra (Derringer,
Max Weinberg) and a cast of NYC's finest to develop his first album
of original music. Slated for release in early 2005, "Travelin'
Man" is destined to become an instant classic. Stay tuned for more
details.
