Glass Tiger

Glass Tiger’s debut album, ‘The Thin Red Line,’ released in 1986, became the fastest-selling debut in Canadian history, achieving quadruple platinum status in Canada and gold in the United States. Formed in 1983, the band, comprising Alan Frew on vocals, Wayne Parker on bass, Sam Reid on keyboards, Michael Hanson on drums, and Al Connelly on guitar, secured a worldwide recording deal with Capitol Records in 1985. The album yielded international hit singles ‘Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)’ and ‘Someday,’ both of which reached the U.S. Top 10.

After a brief hiatus, Glass Tiger reformed in 2003 with Christopher McNeil joining as the new drummer, resuming their touring commitments and performing for Canadian Forces troops in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in both 2009 and 2010. The band continued to release new material into the next decade, with the album ’31’ arriving in 2018. This project featured notable collaborations with artists such as Julian Lennon and Alan Doyle, showcasing their enduring appeal. This was closely followed by the release of their album ’33’ in 2019.

With a career spanning over four decades, Glass Tiger remains an acclaimed and influential force, continuing to captivate audiences with their signature sound and celebrated catalogue.
