GLENN ROWLEY: BASS
If music be the food of love… Ever since Glenn first viewed the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show he knew this was what he wanted to do. He took up guitar at an early age and switched to bass to play rock and roll. How many years and musical genres later playing bass in the Dog Ears is musically rewarding as well as so much fun.
The band plays a mixture of Jazz Standards, Swing, R & B and Blues.
