Tony Glover has been a performing musician and writer since 1962. In the mid-sixties he recorded and toured as part of the seminal folk-blues trio Koerner, Ray & Glover. He authored three books of harmonica instruction, album liner notes, as well as countless feature articles, book and record reviews for publications as diverse as Junior Scholastic, Music Journal, CREEM and Rolling Stone.
In the late sixties, he spent a year as an all-night "underground" disc-jockey on KDWB-AM in Mpls, introducing midwestern listeners to an eclectic menu of music ranging from rock to jazz and blues to country. In the seventies, he played with Nine Below Zero, an electric band doing blues, country and rock classic tunes. In the late eighties he and Dave Ray began regular duo gigs, appearing with artists like John Lee Hooker, J J Cale and B B King. The nineties saw "reunion" KR&G appearances at Winnipeg, Vancouver and Philadelphia folk festivals, as well as release of a live 1996 album by the trio. Glover also produced a two hour documentary video on the life and times of the group. He has continued writing as well. In 2000, his booklet notes for the CD release BOB DYLAN LIVE 1966 won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor award. He researched and co-wrote a biography of the harmonica great, Little Walter. BLUES WITH A FEELING was published in Fall 2002 by Routledge Press.
He also continues performing and recording. With his partner Dave Ray he released four albums since 1987, and the two performed often in the Twin Cities and surrounding midwest area before Ray’s death on Thanksgiving day 2002. Glover now plays frequently with his acoustic trio V3 in the Twin Cities area, and does occasional gigs with Spider John Koerner as well.
