Glowbird is a rock band based out of California's San Fernando Valley. While now known for a style of blending fuzzy riffs, smooth synthesizers, ‘80s and ‘90s-worthy rock ballads, and a hint of ‘70s new wave, Glowbird began with founder and frontman Steve Dodd writing songs in a small backhouse in Pacoima, CA. The band quickly grew with additions lead guitarist Ray Rosas and later bass player Alec Golya who have been essential to developing the band’s distinctive euphoric rock sound.
 
After playing shows around Los Angeles and finessing their style, Glowbird released their first self-titled EP in 2013 introducing the valley and elsewhere to Dodd’s sultry vocals paired alongside Rosas’ colorful guitar textures, and intertwined with Golya’s leading bass. The release of “Dragonfly,” in particular, is emblematic of many of the themes of Glowbird’s songs: requited and unrequited love, the ephemeral nature of relationships, and loves lost. While Dodd’s lyrics are often upbeat and optimistic, Dodd’s vocals give way to something darker and more tragic and brooding than conveyed in the words of his songs. This sense of hopefulness in hopelessness is further solidified in Rosas’ dysphoric, fuzzed-out guitars which, when paired with Dodd’s tenor vocal range, give Glowbird its distinct upbeat melancholic sound. While the release of their EP led to Glowbird further developing their particular style, the band struggled to find a drummer that would complement their sound. Glowbird decided to dedicate time to more diligently search for a drummer while continuing to write and workshop more songs. 
 
In 2016, the band released its second EP, “Half Dead Flowers,” featuring five new songs and introducing current drummer Christian Johnson. Johnson had played with Glowbird in their early days but had moved across country before the band released their first EP in 2013. He returned to the band bringing new fervor to the band’s desire to further solidify themselves as a player in the valley’s modern rock scene. “Half Dead Flowers” is where the band embraces their kaleidoscope of sounds and explores the possibilities of combining a modern rock sound with rock ballads and synth-like gestures. Dodd’s lyrics continue to explore the tenuousness of romance while exploring darker themes of obsession, impatience, and depression. While the lyrics themselves can be melancholic, Dodd’s vocals deliver something more optimistic alongside their signature effect-driven guitar riffs, cerebral bass lines, and synchronic drums.
 
In 2020, Glowbird released their single “Patience” which hints at a new direction for the band as it nears its ten-year anniversary. While “Patience” shares many of the same lyrical themes present in “Half Dead Flowers” and “Glowbird,” the sound of the band has clearly delved into new terrains and is infused with a more anthemic energy from past material, now showcasing a shift toward synthesizers and overall wider spectrum of dynamics. “Patience” explores a romantic relationship that has come to an end and captures the desire of convincing another to take a chance on their love again. This patience, or impatience, is the distinct nature and sound of Glowbird.

"Whitacre is that rare thing, a modern composer who is both popular and original"
- The Daily Telegraph, London

Eric has inspired millions as composer, conductor, innovator, broadcaster and charismatic public speaker. His compositions rank among the most popular and frequently performed of the early 21st century, their reach broadened since 2010 by the extraordinary success of his online Virtual Choir project. Light & Gold, his first album as composer and conductor, won the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Choral Recording and instantly topped the US and UK classical album charts.

Born in Nevada, he discovered a passion for choral music while studying at UNLV and he began composing soon after. He went on to study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York under John Corigliano. Many of his choral compositions, Cloudburst, Lux Aurumque and Sleep among them, have entered the standard choral repertoire and his orchestral music has been performed by some of the world’s most distinguished orchestras both sides of the Atlantic. Eric is currently Composer-in-Residence at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, UK.

A distinguished speaker, Eric has been invited to address the UN Leaders Programme, give the closing plenary at Davos World Economic Forum and to speak for UNICEF and Google among others. He has appeared twice on the main stage at the global TED conference in Long Beach CA, earning standing ovations on both occasions. Recent Virtual Choir projects include ‘Glow’ written for the Winter Dreams holiday show at Disneyland© Adventure California and the Virtual Youth Choir, in association with UNICEF, which premiered at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Broadcast live to 119 countries worldwide, Eric made his iTunes Festival debut with his professional choir in 2014, inviting multi award-winning composer and conductor Hans Zimmer to join him on stage. The performance was consequently released as a live album. Eric returned to the Minnesota Orchestra for a second residency in 2015 culminating in three performances at Orchestra Hall.


I'm a vocalist and performer, interested primarily in the use of the voice as a multi-faceted instrument across a broad range of styles and genres. I love going into the studio and layering my voice 1000s of times, creating a sonic army of me that blends and distorts and tickles and grows and moves. That said, I'm not much for the so-called "contemporary" vocal music scene... you know, where the singer just makes strange, guttural sounds for 35 minutes... I don't really understand that so much. I have studied the vocal music of many different cultures, including Bulgaria, Persia, Brazil and American folk, in addition to my training in western classical technique. I hold a BFA in vocal performance from CalArts. 

I created this profile to document recordings from Sheafest, ranging from 1997 through 2005. In May 2013 we began moving the recordings from analog cassette tapes to digital format. 

Thanks for listening. These are demos of songs I've written recently. I'm in the process of finding others to help round out my sound, record an album, and start performing as a group.  I am especially looking for other male vocalists (who can harmonize well), drummers, and bassists--but regardless of what you play, if you dig what you hear and think you can contribute, I'd like to hear from you. I live in the Los Angeles area.  Contact me via email:  sveny8@yahoo.com  Thanks!! -glowbird   

Spoken Poetry with some background music.	
In This Journey of self-discovery, a wide range of topics and styles over the past 20 years. I have explored different aspects of poetry and strong emotions in this book. These are messages to Earth.
 It did not begin as a work of passion but one of compulsion. It plagued my waking moments and gave me sleepless nights. It was not my life I was interested in writing about, but many other lives spoke volumes to me. The section of Forget Me Not was my way of dealing with a life that had passed on. Sometimes it was sheer desperation and the need to heal my emotions that penned many poems in this book. Emotions shared by others. Always make your life journey one of discovery by keeping your spirit fighting for the best in living.

New 'Broken EP' out now.
