Glen Roethel ~ Glen is a singer-songwriter-guitarist with a penchant for positive and intentional songwriting, a bunch of years experience and an active career as an artist and entertainer. He is best known for his versatile guitar stylings, smoothe voice, fun, generous stage presence and as the founding member of Gathering Time. Glen's debut CD, From Beginning to End, hit the streets independently in 2004 on Inspireline Records. In late 2008 he released his latest solo effort, Smaller Things, also on Inspireline. The new CD includes "Pumpkin Street" and "One Word"-- two tracks which had already earned Glen a slot as one of eight finalists in the Susquehanna Music & Arts Festival (SMAF) Songwriter Contest -- as well as "People of the Earth," an inspired call-and-response song which was just published in a new songbook by the Association of Unity Churches International, and which garnered him a prestigious nomination at the 2009 Posi Awards in Orlando, Florida, which recognizes excellence in writers of songs with a positive message. Also in November 2008, Glen released "Songs of Hope and Freedom," a debut CD with Gathering Time, his new folk-rock harmony trio whose sound is often compared to "Peter, Paul and Mary meets CSN." You can hear him on FOLK and PUBLIC radio around the world, XM radio nationally, occasionally on commercial radio (and here tonight!)

John Redgate ~ Inspired by his grandfather's easy keyboard style, John began playing piano at age seven. As a Fine Arts major at Georgetown University in Washington,D.C., Redgate's group Lazy River opened shows for Doc Watson and Emmylou Harris and recorded an album for Playboy Records in Los Angeles. In 1978 he landed on Broadway as Paul McCartney in the hit musical Beatlemania, later touring the U.S. and Japan in spin off productions of the landmark show. John is a natural entertainer, multi-instrumentalist and teacher whose knowledge of Beatles music and trivia are so deep, you'll often believe that Paul McCartney is there telling you stories and dipping into his own song catalogue.
