Glenn Alexander & Shadowland — Glenn Alexander & Shadowland
Release date : Jul. 19, 2016
Label : Rainbow's Revenge Records
Shadowland evokes a sense of unreality – mysterious phantoms in an indeterminate place, shrouded in uncertainty. Shadowland was also the name of a roadhouse club where the first electric guitar debuted in 1932 in Wichita, Kansas – the town where Glenn Alexander cut his teeth, both literally and musically. The music of Glenn Alexander & Shadowland brings these two seemingly disparate notions together into a band that evokes the soulful vibe of a historic honky tonk, while keeping you guessing on what’s comin’ next. At its core, Shadowland is guitar-driven, horn-laced, in-your-face, rockin’, blues-drenched music.

Bob Magnuson/Glenn Alexander — Glances After Midnight
Label : Rainbow's Revenge Records
Bob Magnuson and Glenn Alexander live very separate – and interestingly different – musical lives. They have played on many stages together as sidemen to various artists and have always shared a keen musical sensibility playing in a duo setting. They didn’t intentionally set out to record an album, but sharing friendship, food, wine and deciding to play a few tunes, they realized what they had recorded felt like an interesting journey. This CD is the result of this collaboration.

Glenn Alexander — Oria
With nine original compositions by Glenn Alexander, this CD received wide critical acclaim from such prestigious publications as Jazziz and Jazz Times. Although the CD is primarily an acoustic endeavor, most reviewers agreed that one of the album’s highlights is a haunting version of Samuel Barber’s “Adagio For Strings,” which was recorded on solo electric guitar, using only a volume pedal and reverb and NO synths or overdubs. A deeply personal journey, the album was inspired by, dedicated to and named after Glenn’s daughter, Oria.
