Glen's first instrument was the violin, which he began playing as a child when his family lived in Germany. In high school, there was no string program, so he chose flute (later adding piccolo and alto flute) and various sizes of saxophones. An opportunity with the Stratford Festival necessitated learning chromatic harmonica. Record was added when Glen enrolled in Wilfrid Laurier's music program as an adult student; he graduated in 2012 with a BA majoring in Music. Locally known for nearly three decades as half of the popular Beirdo Brothers duo (with Sandy MacDonald), he has also played in the K-W Symphony, in pit orchestras for drama productions, appeared as soloist on the Wednesday noon concert series founded by the late Douglas Haas, composed and arranged music for many venues, and released a number of recordings. As well as performing live for thousands over the years, Glen has supported the arts behind the scenes as a board member of many cultural organizations including NUMUS and the Waterloo Region Arts Council. He continues to perform whenever and wherever possible as a  soloist and session player.

Bill Gastmeier (guitar and vocals)
Bill has been an amateur musician since his high school days and put himself through university playing guitar in various musical combos across Southwestern Ontario, centered in the Stratford area.  Moving to Waterloo with his wife Karen, he continued playing part-time with local bands and friends at Mount Zion Lutheran Church while working in the engineering profession and raising his two children, Matthew and Robin. Looking for new musical challenges he studied voice with Reid Spencer and joined Debbie Lou Ludolph as guitarist for Inshallah, an interfaith and justice-based world music choir affiliated with Martin Luther University College. He is thrilled to be working with friends Scott, Peter and Glen on this project.

Peter Winkler (drums)
While working as a community newspaper publisher for most of his professional career, Peter moonlighted as a drummer for several local rock and country-rock bands. For the past six years, he's performed with the nine-piece classic-rock band Group Therapy and the OCD horns as well as occasional appearances to enliven worship here at St. Matthews.
