Set to play at McGuinn’s Place on Route 1 in Trenton tomorrow night is Quiverlow, a rock power trio whose members all played, until last April, with Dear Liza, a band with a strong following that did gigs across the country, from Wildflowers at Pennington Circle to clubs in San Francisco.
"We’re looking forward to playing at McGuinn’s. It’s an important date for us," Quiverlow member Greg Glasson said Monday.
Raised in Pennington and now a Titusville resident, Mr. Glasson is an outstanding bassist, as anyone who has seen and heard Dear Liza or Quiverlow doubtless would readily attest. "We’re sharing the bill at McGuinn’s with Merry River, a Philly-based band. They go on at 9:30. We play at 11."
Joining Mr. Glasson in Quiverlow are drummer Glenn Grossman, originally from New York City, and guitarist/lead singer Steve Rowen, a Boston native.
Mr. Grossman is an explosive percussionist with great technique and drive, and credentials to match. Before hooking up with Mssrs. Glasson and Rowen in Dear Liza and Quiverlow, the he did stints on drums behind such rock luminaries as Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan, among many others.
"The three of us have been writing a lot of songs, and recording constantly," Mr. Glasson said. "We expect to have a CD out soon, all of original songs."
Joining Quiverlow on several of the disc’s tracks will be George Porter, bassist with the legendary New Orleans-based rhythm and blues group, The Meters. "We’ve got a real good singer in Steve," Mr. Glasson said. "What we do is not what you’d call real ‘heavy’ rock. It fits with today’s music. It’s pop. But it’s got substance, too. We’ve been sending some of our recordings to some of the big labels. No firm offers yet, but we’re feeling pretty confident."
