Glen Phillips and Chris Barron Co-Headline at the Kate November 18 OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, "the Kate", presents Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket and Chris Barron of Spin Doctors in a co-headlining concert on Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 7:30 pm. Glen Phillips has always been a courageous and inviting songwriter. During his years as lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket, the band's elegant folk/pop sound and his honest, introspective lyrics helped them forge a close bond with their fans. As a solo performer, Phillips has pared his music down to its emotional core, concentrating on the simple truths of love and relationships, with a profound spiritual understanding. The zeitgeist is a moving target, and Chris Barron has always been a crack shot. The New York songwriter is no longer the debutant who set out on the circuit's sharp end in 1988 with $100, a battered acoustic and a headful of the alt-rock anthems that would elevate Spin Doctors to global stardom. He's a veteran approaching 50, living in a world changed beyond recognition, compelled to write the music that chronicles the here-and-now.
