Sept. 21: Glen Phillips at the Cabaret


Venue: Cabaret at Theater Square
Tickets: $20.00

Glen Phillips appears for a one night concert at the Cabaret at Theater Square with special guests Griffin House and Kim Richie.

Born in Santa Barbara, Glen Phillips was the lead singer and main songwriter for Toad the Wet Sprocket. The band started in 1986, when Phillips was only 14. Their first LP, Bread and Circus, was recorded in 1988 and got them signed to Columbia Records. After six albums and a substantial amount of touring, the group disbanded in 1998.

Phillips began touring as a solo act after Toad the Wet Sprocket broke up, and worked with producer Ethan Johns to create his first solo album, Albulum. Glen Phillips says it took a "ridiculously long time" to create; it was finally released in April of 2001 on Brick Red Records. Phillips has also collaborated on several songs with bluegrass band Nickel Creek and toured with them for the last half of 2001. He released Live at Largo in In 2003, followed by a collection of new material, Winter Pays for Summer, in 2005.
