Glass Tiger officially formed in Newmarket, Ontario, in 1983, evolving from an earlier band called Tokyo. The initial lineup included Alan Frew on vocals, Wayne Parker on bass, Sam Reid on keyboards, and Michael Hanson on drums, with Al Connelly joining on guitar in 1983. The band quickly gained recognition and signed a worldwide recording deal with Capitol Records in 1985. Their debut album, “The Thin Red Line,” released in 1986, achieved quadruple platinum status in Canada and gold in the United States, becoming the fastest-selling debut in Canadian history. The album featured hit singles like “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” and “Someday,” both reaching the U.S. Top 10.
Following their successful debut, Glass Tiger continued to release music and tour extensively. They earned three Juno Awards in 1986, including Album of the Year for “The Thin Red Line” and Single of the Year for “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone),” and were nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1987. The band shared stages with prominent artists such as Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, Journey, Julian Lennon, and Cheap Trick. Their second album, “Diamond Sun,” released in 1988, was certified triple platinum in Canada, yielding the hit single “I’m Still Searching.” Their third album, “Simple Mission,” released in 1991, also achieved platinum status in Canada and received airplay in Canada and Europe.
After a hiatus in 1993, Glass Tiger reformed in 2003 with new drummer Christopher McNeil and resumed touring. They actively engaged with Canadian Forces, performing for troops in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010. Recent projects include the albums “31” (2018), featuring collaborations with artists like Julian Lennon and Alan Doyle, and “33” (2019). In 2020, they released their Christmas/Holiday album, “Songs for a Winter’s Night,” which included collaborations with Natalie MacMaster and Gordon Lightfoot. In 2023, Glass Tiger was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame, recognizing their significant contributions to Canadian music.
