Glass Tiger

About

The artist

Glass Tiger formed in Newmarket, Ontario, in 1981 under the name Tokyo. After building a regional following, the group adopted its current name and signed a worldwide recording agreement with Capitol Records in 1985. The Thin Red Line arrived in 1986 and established Glass Tiger internationally through songs including Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone) and Someday. The album became a multi-platinum Canadian release, and Bryan Adams contributed backing vocals to its lead single. Diamond Sun followed in 1988 and Simple Mission in 1991. After a break from 1993 to 2003, the band resumed touring and later revisited its catalog on 31, issued new material on the six-track 33, and released Songs For a Winter's Night in 2020. Canada’s Song (Free to Be), released in April 2025, is the newest primary release attached to the exact Spotify identity. That provider catalog contains 14 distinct album and single containers from 1986 through 2025: six albums and eight provider-classified singles. Spotify classifies the six-track 33 as a single, while Apple Music presents it as an EP, so MusicList preserves the Spotify container count and notes the platform difference rather than silently changing it. Glass Tiger entered Canada's Walk of Fame in 2023 and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2025. Current sources identify Alan Frew, Al Connelly, Wayne Parker, Sam Reid, and Chris McNeill as the touring core. A 2025 interview with Reid describes Newmarket as the community the band calls home and says the group remains known as Glass Tiger from Newmarket, Ontario. The band's active status is also confirmed by its current official site, its 2025 release, and a scheduled six-city Canadian acoustic tour in fall 2026.
