BIO

Glitter & Gasoline hits the stage with high-energy, dance-forward sets that fuse rock, blues, funk, and Americana—fronted by a dynamic powerhouse vocalist and anchored by tight grooves and rich melodies. Their sound is polished yet gritty, radio-ready but live-wired, built to light up a club or festival stage alike.

Expect Heart’s swagger and Queen’s theatrical punch, the riff weight of Black Sabbath and the Brit-sharp snap of The Kinks—shot through with Whitney Houston-level vocal firepower and the modern pop sparkle of Chappell Roan. They reimagine classics and current anthems without losing the hooks, dialing up driving rhythms, and spotlight-worthy solos to keep feet moving and voices singing.

Every show is crowd-responsive and momentum-driven, with seamless transitions, a versatile setlist, and their interactive “Song Menu” inviting audience picks. The result is a glitter-streaked, gasoline-charged party: big choruses, bigger energy, and a room that’s dancing from the first downbeat to the final shout-along.

Barbara - Lead VOX

“Barbara is a dynamic and versatile singer whose journey began in her childhood church choir, where her exceptional vocal talent quickly became evident. Her early development was shaped by participation in a children's performing group, high school and college choirs, and musical theater, guided by mentors like local pianist Miss Cheri Weers and classical music instructor Amy Cole. These experiences laid a strong foundation in vocal technique and music theory.

Her distinctive sound is a blend of influences, starting with Christian artists like Jaci Velasquez and Kirk Franklin, and expanding to legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Erykah Badu, Beyoncé, and Barbra Streisand. Barbara's versatility shines through her work with her rock band, Barbara in the Attic, various band projects, cabarets, jazz jams, radio shows, and voice-over work for children's cartoons and commercials. As a vocal teacher and coach, she inspires and mentors aspiring singers, sharing her profound knowledge and passion for music.”

Currently, he brings his passion and energy to the stage with the Pink Floyd tribute band In the Pink.

He draws inspiration from bands like the Smashing Pumpkins, Jane's Addiction, Medeski Martin Wood, Lettuce, Vulfpeck, Khruangbin, Bob Marley, and the Grateful Dead. His background in saxophone and a lifelong immersion in music, sparked by early experiences listening to his aunt play the piano, have shaped his approach to the bass.
