Guiding Light LIVE will headline Glen Phillips, lead singer-songwriter of Toad the Wet Sprocket.
During his almost 40 years as lead singer and main songwriter of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Glen Phillips has helped create the band’s elegant folk/pop sound with honest, introspective lyrics that forged a close bond with fans.
Coming off a very full year of music, Glen played to packed solo shows across the US, toured the Rockies with John Craigie, and hit the road with Toad the Wet Sprocket for a massive summer tour that featured openers The Jayhawks, Sixpence None the Richer, KT Tunstall, and Vertical Horizon.
Glen plans to begin work on a new solo album in 2026. “I’ll be spending this year writing new material for both Toad and solo projects.” Toad the Wet Sprocket is releasing a new acoustic album in January 2026!
