GLASS TIGER IN CONCERT:
Canadian rockers Glass Tiger are a fierce five-piece band that's been hammering out the hits since 1986, and they sound as fresh as ever nearly 30 years later. Lead singer Alan Frew still knows how to command the stage with his sharp, impeccable vocals and rich guitar strumming while his bandmates shred out solos on hits like "Someday" and "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)". With their popular alt-rock tunes and on-point musicianship, Glass Tiger always brings the house down when they perform for eager ticket buyers on their can't-miss tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The members of Glass Tiger – singer Alan Frew, keyboard player Sam Reid, guitarist Al Connelly, bassist Wayne Parker, and drummer Michael Hanson – first got together in 1983 and performed under the name Tokyo. They earned their big break a year later playing for sold-out crowds as an opening act for Boy George and Culture Club on tour. They attracted attention from several labels at the shows, eventually signing to Capitol Records and changing their name to the current moniker. They earned widespread acclaim with their four-times platinum-selling debut Thin Red Line, which featured the smash hit "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" – a song that peaked at No. 1 on the Canadian Songs chart, earned the band three Juno Awards, and launched them to international stardom. Glass Tiger continued to enjoy success with their follow-up releases Diamond Sun (1988) and Simple Mission (1991), which they supported with extensive touring throughout their native Canada. After a hiatus that saw the band's members pursue various other projects, the group got back together in 2003 to perform local shows. Although the band has had a lineup change since reforming with new drummer Chris McNeill, Glass Tiger still knows how to rock a crowd and deliver a hit-filled live show.

by Michelle W on 2023-12-06Vancouver Playhouse - VancouverOne of the better concerts I’ve been to in a long time. Will definitely see Glass Tiger again. Alan Frew still looks and sounds amazing 🤩the rest of the band was good too. I enjoyed singing along to their songs. The Vancouver Playhouse was a fabulous venue! It was small, intimate and cozy. It was also nice there was a short intermission between the two sets of songs.

by CanadianTaraK on 2023-12-06Vancouver Playhouse - VancouverI go to every Glass Tiger concert that they have near Vancouver. They always sound great and play all the hits plus this time they added some of the holiday hits from their latest album. I have been a Glass Tiger fan since they first played here in 1986. If you get the chance to see a truly amazing Canadian band, go! You will it be disappointed.
