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.
