Glenn Reid was the youngest of four boys born in Waverley, Nova Scotia to Crawford Reid and Greta Bambrick. Music was always a part of his life with his mother a dance teacher and his father a jazz drummer who played on the same bill as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Count Bassie. Crawford once even took advantage of the opportunity to pick up Armstrongâs horn and play a scale before being admonished to âPut that down, kidâ by the jazz legend. Glenn was writing poetry by the age of four â while his older brothers were out playing hockey or hanging with the neighbours â one of whom would form a musical connection to Glenn in the future â Myles Goodwin of April Wine.
Glenn attended high school in Montreal and at the age of 14 joined the band as a trombone player - then section leader â eventually doubling on the trumpet. He was voted most likely to succeed and was awarded the first Debbie Paulette Memorial Award. His first song â Someone Somewhere - was written on trumpet with friend Pete Harris â now one of the best soundmen in Canada with touring credits for the Nylons, The Kings, Billy Graham, and Carol Baker. Glennâs first band was Rhodes - a brass band playing the likes of âPretty Ladyâ by Lighthouse with future bassist Norm Hartshorne (The Business) on the trumpet and guitarist Steve Segal (April Wine). However, they needed a singer â and Glenn was it â and itâs hard to sing and play a horn at the same time.
AT 17, Glenn got his first guitar but remained a lead singer only. Rock and Roll became the standard in his second band â Brewed â that enjoyed playing top 40 hits around Montreal. Glenn was a music fan and one of his favourites was The Dudes featuring Bob Segarini (The Family Tree, The Wackers, Roxy, Q107âs iceman, Late Great Movies - with Ty Templeton, The Segarini Band, The Anger Brothers and Cats & Dogs), David and Ritchie Henman (April Wine), William âKootchâTrochim (the Wackers), Brian Greenway (Mashmakan, April Wine) and Wayne Cullen (The Wackers) . Glenn was trilled when he was asked to sing backup one night at a Dudes gig. When the Dudes split up â Ritchie Henman joined Glenn in a short-lived band with and David Henman produced Glennâs first demo âBaby Tonightâ. Glenn formed lasting friendships with Bob and David that exist to this day.
In 1979, Glenn made the move down the 401 to Toronto. When he arrived he formed a band called âThe Rave Onsâ with Eddy Zeeman (Cats Can Fly), Nick Schneir (writes music for Wide World of Sports) and Sarge Chessen. The band had great success playing venues of 8-10 thousand people opening for The Segarini Band, Goddo, Ian Hunter and Battered Wives among others. It was here Glenn again connected with Pete Harris â and Glenn met Max Styles from The Kings.
When the Rave Onâs split â Glenn formed a duo with Drew Winters (The Segarini Band) and they played clubs through out the GTA. They were the longstanding house band at a popular club in Mississauga called Madamâs. A short time later, David Henman (David Henman Band, April Wine, Brave and Crazy) makes the move to Toronto and hooks up with Glenn (still lead singing but also playing trumpet and rhythm guitar), Norm Hartshorne, Tony Basile on Sax and Joel Rabinowitz (owner of The House in Canada and The Hut in the USA) to form âThe Businessâ. When Joel leaves to continue his successful clothing business, Max Styles replaces HAL (the electronic drummer) and joins âThe Businessâ. The band still continues its 20 year run â co-writing hundreds of original songs.
While working at SST Studioâs, Glenn had the opportunity to be involved in sessions with such Canadian luminaries as Lisa BalBello, Cheryl Rae, Charity Brown, Dominic Troiano and Greg Godovitz. He added occasional background vocals and even sang (informally) an old Guess Who song called âLife in the Bloodstreamâ with Burton Cummings, a cherished memory for Glenn.
During this time, David and Glenn worked as a duo around Toronto until a chance meeting with Bob Segarini leads to combining âThe Businessâ with Bob Segarini, Drew Winters (The Segarini Band), Suzie Burmester (Brave and Crazy) and Sam Pollard (Brave and Crazy) to form âCats and Dogsâ. The band released two CDâs on indie label Bullseye Records â containing the stellar Glenn Reid original âThe Only Thingâ and his version of âKnockinâ on Heavens Door by Bob Dylan.
In the late â80âs and early â90âs â Glenn wrote several articles for Canadian Musician Magazine.
Glenn spent two years in Alberta working as a solo act â playing 3 sets a night, 6 nights per week. This was a very rich song-writing period that aided in developing his country style. Glenn stopped at a local club where he won a talent contest and was awarded studio time at TAG Recording in Alberta. While recording his first solo CD âA Piece of This Countryâ Glenn also worked as a DJ on the local country/gospel station C.I.H.S. âA Piece of This Countryâ sold hundreds of copies to people from all over the world.
Upon his return to Toronto, Glenn formed a duo with Suzie Burmester (Cats and Dogs, Brave and Crazy) called R&B and recorded a demo at Steve Sherman Studioâs. Glenn continued his solo gigs and also hosted a Sunday night jam at The Brigadoon in Scarborough where he was regularly joined by Robbie Hancock, Peter Verity and Seb Agnello (Lords of London).
In February 2005, Glenn returned to Steve Sherman Studioâs to start âWorkinâ Manâ â a solo project containing a collection of 10 Glenn Reid originals. Along with Glennâs superior writing, lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Steve Sherman lends his outstanding bass playing, guitar work and production ear to the project. Guest artists include: Max Styles (The Business, The Kings), Pete Grey (Ruben Cherry), David Henman (April Wine, David Henman Band, Brave and Crazy), Norm Hartshorne (The Business), Bob Segarini (The Family Tree, The Wackers, Roxy, The Segarini Band, The Anger Brothers and Cats & Dogs) and Jade Dunlop. â
