Glen Phillips started his first band, Toad The Wet Sprocket, in Santa Barbara at age 15. It was that group’s third album — the jangling, orchestral Fear — that truly broke the group, garnering heavy radio play with the singles ‘All I Want‘ and ‘Walk on the Ocean.’ After three years away from the recording studio, Toad returned to the mainstream with Dulcinea, which again found one of its singles, ‘Fall Down,’ in heavy radio rotation. After six albums and a substantial string of hits, the group disbanded in 1998. Phillips began touring as a solo act after, and has released five solo records and two EPs, collaborated on two projects (Mutual Admiration Society and Works Progress Administration), released an EP with Plover (with Neilson Hubbard and Garrison Starr) and an album as RemoteTreeChildren (with Portland’s John Askew).
