Alan of Glass Band has announced a new album, set for release this year. Leading off the CD’s introduction to the world will be its first single, “Smile.” Glass Band’s quirky folksy stylings are an enlightening listen for those who think of John Denver or Peter, Paul and Mary when the word “folk” comes up. Glass Band may play folk-style music, but it’s edgy, rife with modern relevance and a demonstration of talent at work. “The album ranges from edgy acoustic folk rock to funk folk, to Dylanesqe harmonica/guitar/vocals,”

Alan says. His tunes are a mixture of personal storytelling and offbeat musings. “Smile” is a folk-pop song that simply tells the listener not to sweat the little things, to simply face life and its challenges with a smile. Some might balk at a seemingly over-enthusiastic attitude, but when the listener hears Glass Band delving into its own unique brand of folk rock, he or she will be captivated. Glass Band is Alan’s solo project. He served as front man for several bands throughout the last eight years and has been a solo act for a year, though he is considering putting another band together. He relocated from Minnesota to Long Beach, Calif., and finds the “vast array of life experiences” – not to mention reprieve from the cold – a source of inspiration for his warm, original songwriting, which has earned him a number of awards. Alan is currently working with A&R Select, the world’s leading independent artist development firm, based out of Los Angeles, CA.
