And so, it continues...the story of one of Canada’s most enduring and iconic bands, Glass Tiger, roars on.
Originally known as Tokyo, the band formed in Newmarket, Ontario in 1981 spent several years cutting their teeth in the bar scene. With rapidly growing popularity, it didn’t take long for them to sign a world-wide recording deal in 1985.
Changing their name to Glass Tiger, their debut album, The Thin Red Line rocketed up the charts to become the fastest selling debut in Canadian history, spawning no less than five hit singles. Grammy nominated and 5x award winners of both The Junos and Canadian Classic, the band has sold 5 million albums worldwide.
In 2019 Glass Tiger released 33, an unapologetically raw, mature, eclectic, statement that states simply: “This is who we are today, and this is how we see the world around us.”
In September of 2023, Glass Tiger was inducted into Canada’s prestigious Walk of Fame at a star-studded ceremony taking place at Toronto’s Iconic Massey Hall.
Joining Glass Tiger on this tour is Erica Ehm, a Canadian music world legend! She will be opening the evening at the NAC with a retrospective of Glass Tiger’s career, including quick band interviews and showing both seen & unseen footage from the band’s history. Erica will carry us through an engaging and informative start to the evening!
