Frank Glover and Kihlo

Picture
Says one reviewer about Frank Glover: "(he) is a superb clarinetist. I hear him in the realm of Eddie Daniels. Eddie has raised jazz clarinet quite a few notches to a higher technical and intellectual level. And, I feel Frank has done the same." Glover is truly a cultural treasure. He is a transcendently gifted jazz clarinetist, recording artist, and the recipient of many honors. One such award, from the National Endowment for the Arts, supported a concert at Carnegie Hall.

Stereo Deluxe

Picture
“Sporting super-sized guitar hooks, Stereo Deluxe makes rock 'n' roll that's shiny without being slick. There's a bubblegum element to the band's self-titled debut, but the flavor is dark -- more black cherry than cotton candy. Standout track "Uncle Sam" offers a youthful perspective on someone else's war, while "Bomber Jacket" describes the upside of being selfish following a breakup.”

-- DAVID LINDQUIST, THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR

40% Steve has been voted "best band" by the students at Indiana University in 2005, 2006, 2007 and again in 2008. The band has played across the Midwest and is looking for continued success into 2009.
