The Glenn Allan ensemble of chuckleheads consists in part or whole, in some variation, inclusive but not exclusive of the following persons:
The Reverend Glenn Allan, Kim Mackenzie, Molly Allan, Ray Symczyk, Luckey McClain, DC Olson, Gil Polanco, Ernest Hernandez, Jack Barber, Flaco Jimenez, Scott Abraham and more than I can remember right now. Basically anyone who shows up to play for beer, food and lame compliments. What instruments do all these people play, you wonder? Whatever they feel like at the moment. Or sometimes they simply hang out and drink beer.But most of the time it's just Glenn and Kim.
Influences: I think I'd have to say my largest influences are my friends who keep doing IT. Playing, gigging, writing songs....year after year, decade after decade, never stopping, never "giving up", stanky bars, low (no) pay, unappreciative audiences, rejection after rejection, bullshit upon bullshit, late nights away from family, long drives home,
just because we LOVE to do IT.
Just because we HAVE to do IT!
You guys are my heroes.~

Gram and Emmylou
Buddy and Julie
Doug and Augie
Ward and June
Tom and Jerry
Peas and Carrots
Rice and Beans....Some of Glenn's musings are so profound they can literally grate cheese, and his melodies have been known to alter sandwiches, but we'll leave that to the ear of the beholder.
