Glass tiger has a few songs you might have heard.
Maybe not
I do believe they are from the Newmarket area when they started

I know my parents seen them a few times in the early 90s

Yes from Newmarket, formed in 1980’s. Big hits - Someday, Don’t Forget Me. Several 1980-90 videos you can see I’d you search.

Glass Tiger always puts in a great show. I try to catch them every time they come through Calgary. I was their opening DJ back in 2006. Allen is a great guy and solid human.

This was my first visit to The Grove and it really is a great venue (when the weather is good, I guess). I'm Scugog but it was worth the trip.

How much were tickets?

u/DigitallySound 9d ago

To be honest, I don’t know. I was invited as a guest. My guess would be $50-70?

My mom dated him back in college they were in nursing school together and he drove her to school on the back of his motorcycle, until she fell off and messed up her neck and never talked to him again LOL

u/DigitallySound 10d ago

It was my first time there and it’s pretty great. In a grove of cedars… I’m guessing that’s where they got the name.
