About Me

Glory Fountain is Lynn Blakey (Tres Chicas, Let's Active, Oh-OK, Holiday) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar; and, multi-instrumentalist John Chumbris (Slickee Boys, Chris Stamey Experience, Pinetops) playing lead, singing harmonies and doing the rest. Accompanying them has been a host of wonderful drummers in the studio - Will Rigby, Jon Wurster, Nic Brown, Eddie Walker & Mitch Easter - plus a changing cast of characters on the road.
