Glade Wilson's EPK
Hire a soloist, hear a whole band! The One-Man-Band Experience
What does a full band sound like when it's one person? Come see Glade and find out.
Since 2010, Glade has built a reputation as one of the hardest-working solo performers in the business — averaging over 230 live shows a year across restaurants, resorts, private events, and corporate functions. Using a multichannel looper, he builds every layer of a performance live, in real time: bass lines, drum grooves, rhythm guitar, lead parts, and vocals, all looped and stacked right in front of the audience. No backing tracks. No pre-recorded shortcuts. Every note is played and sung on the spot.
The result is a full-band experience with the flexibility and footprint of a solo act. Glade delivers polished, high-energy music tailored to the room — whether that's a laid-back dinner set, a corporate cocktail hour, or a packed Saturday night that needs a dance floor. His repertoire spans hundreds of songs across decades of pop, rock, R&B, and soul.
For venue owners, the math is simple: the sound of a four-piece band, one load-in, one check, one parking spot. For audiences, it's even simpler — they just won't believe it's only one guy.

Groove Booking
"Entertainers simply don’t get better than Glade Wilson. Groove Booking has hired Glade for many gigs and events. He is always on time, and shows up with a smile on his face, ready to entertain our client’s guests. We don’t work with many artists that we can book absolutely anywhere, but with Glade we can knowing his repertoire can appeal to any demographic. Not to mention his incredible talent on guitar and vocals. For almost every gig we’ve booked him on, we receive a text or email from our clients saying how pleased they were, wanting him back ASAP”.

Janey's Coffeehouse & Bodega
"I’ve owned Janeys coffee house for 11 years and had the pleasure to work directly with Glade Wilson for the entire time. Certain artists I try to have play once a month or every two months, but Glade plays closer to 5 or 6 times a month for several reasons. He is one of the best performers we are lucky to employ. He always brings a solid crowd which selfishly keeps our restaurant going. He is easy to communicate and work with. His reliability is a model for some of the other musicians."
Tim Brady, Booking Agent
"I've been booking Glade Wilson in the Cave Creek area for 7 years. He always delivers and never disappoints. His ability to read and delight the audience is unsurpassed. His talent and musicianship has enabled him to build a following and become a premier talent in the Cave Creek area."
