GUELPH – Glass Tiger is back to revisit their big hits and deep cuts and the show is selling out, officials say.
Glass Tiger’s This Island Earth comes to River Run Centre’s Main Stage on Nov. 29 at 8pm.
This concert is part of the Sleeman-Spring Mill Music Series, which officials say “showcases some of Canada’s greatest hitmakers and internationally touring bands.
“Glass Tiger is one of Canada’s most iconic and enduring bands, still rocking after four decades together,” states a press release about the performance.
Their 1986 debut album, The Thin Red Line, features two of their biggest singles, Someday and the iconic hit Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone), both of which reached Top 10 on U.S. Billboard charts.
The band released several other hits in the 80s, earning their place as one of the decade’s defining sounds.
Formed in Newmarket in 1981, four of the current six band members were part of the founding lineup.
In 1987, Glass Tiger was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist.
Today, the three founding bandmates include Alan Frew on lead vocals, guitar, and tambourine, Al Connelly on lead guitar, and Sam Reid on keyboards and piano.
Tickets to Glass Tiger are $69 for adults, $67 for patrons over 60, and $39 for those under 30 years old.
