GKB is a Blues/Rock power trio. In 1999 the first shows took place and the band began recording it's seminal Winter Sun in 2000. Shows all over the mid-western U.S. began taking place and at the time of this bio (2006), the band has done three studio, one live project as well as assisting Glenn on many of his solo recordings. To date the band has toured much of North American and an increasing portion of Europe.
Glenn Kaiser fell in love with music via Presley, Beatles then Rolling Stones. These bands as well as early Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Clapton and others took him back to Gary Davis, Blind Willie Johnson, early Muddy Waters and a long list of blues greats. He then discovered white blues/rocker Rory Gallagher and counts Rory as key inspiration, with side-orders of Johnny Winter, Albert King and Leslie West on the electric side.
Glenn began recording country "delta" blues in 1990. Other solo projects followed including both acoustic and electric blues. For the full story:
