It's been more than twenty years since Glass Tiger first topped the charts, and they are still masters of creating great songs. Discovered in the summer of 1984 when a band from Newmarket, Ontario, called "Tokyo" spent two evenings performing before capacity crowds at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens opening for Boy George and Culture Club. Their dynamic original sound captured the moment, and the race to sign them was on. Tokyo, which had become a major force in suburban high schools and the Ontario club circuit, officially became Glass Tiger early the following year when a record deal was finally signed with Capitol Records.

With five Juno awards and a Grammy nomination under their belt, world tours, hit singles, millions sold, top producers, and sharing stages with some of the biggest acts of all time, one would think that this history could lead to complacency, stagnancy, or perhaps even cynicism in their approach today. Yet, as Alan Frew explains, those adjectives couldn't be furthest from the truth. "Our writing is as strong as ever, with the same spark and verve that we had back when "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" was crafted. Our performances have never been tighter, and we are playing at the highest level. We are re-ignited, recharged and looking forward to every show."

Glass Tiger only performs when all members of the band are available to perform. This makes every performance a special one. Alan's vocals are stronger than ever, and the band is tight and rockin'. If you've never seen a GT live show, this is your chance to experience in person why GT has been one of Canada's most enduring bands for three decades. Fans who have enjoyed seeing the band live over the years say they are better now than ever. Find out for yourself!
