about

Chris Glanister has been hanging around folk music for too many years and it shows (mostly in the waistline...). He grew up in England listening to Burl Ives, Pete Seeger and the popular British folk group The Spinners, along with Led Zeppelin and the Monkeys and lots of classical music. As the co-founder of the local Seattle Celtic Band Watch the Sky! He has been entertaining audiences with his whistle playing and vocals for many years. He started his musical career as a recording and live sound engineer and at some point had to play the music he was hearing. He's since added bohdran and cittern to his musical lineup, and loves the Scottish and maritime influences in the music he plays.

As the eldest brother, Dan has the most experience in music and performing. Raised in the Bay Area and attending college in Berkley, in the 60s (he swears he has no memory of that), he also studied opera and received the training that makes his voice one of the most notable and powerful in the folk music community. A true folkie, Dan’s repertoire spans decades. It also spans three octaves which allow him to sing lead, bass, or make strange noises. He also plays a mean set of spoons

Matthew is a true son of the NW, having been born and raised there. That may explain his love of the rain and foggy days. He also has an undying love of the water and boats. He lives aboard a classic wooden yacht, built in 1930, with his lovely wife and two cats. He writes and sings songs on the NW, it’s people, the ships and the shore (including clams). Matthew is the baritone of the group and weaves his voice in and around the others, sometimes with success.
