Glen Bridger

Glen was born in Albany, Missouri and grew up in the Kansas City area. He started playing guitar at the age of 13 after hearing the band Van Halen, whose influence is immediately recognizable in Glen's playing today. He was awarded a scholarship to play baseball in college, but by his senior year he decided that he would rather play music than baseball and left college to pursue his music career. Glen developed his guitar playing skills by studying magazines like "Guitar World" and "Guitar For The Practicing Musician" which helped him land the lead guitar spot in several of Kansas City's top bands before joining Head East as their lead guitarist. Glen plays Yamaha, Ibanez and Gibson guitars and uses Peavey 5150 and Marshall Jcm 900 amplifiers when performing live. He also plays keyboards and enjoys writing new material with Head East. Glen's new songs "One Night" and "Me and My Whiskey" are real rockers that bring fans to their feet.
