Glowbead is a unique original sounding band. Its origins trace to 1997 with the strange mixture of electric guitar and clarionet. Shortly after, drums and a steel pan drum were added. As the band grew so did it's sound and instrumentation. The group has always focused on expressive music with a soul felt vibe. With a 4 player line up this band, communicates extremely well while letting open ended jams and improvs flow under their wings.If you like Jam Bands you will definately enjoy Glowbead. They really take you somewhere and its somewhere a litte different than you are used to.
The band consists of Jeremy Green on Drums, Vocals, and various percussion. Tanner Johnson on Marimba and djembe. Chris Tubbs on Bass and Vocals. John McElhaney on Guitars. Spencer Stanley is our soundman and Jay Vinekar as Booking Contact.
