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.

Christmas morning 1995... A girl opened one last oddly shaped gift in the family living room.  It didn't take long for that young girl to realize that what she held in her hands was the one thing that she had been wanting for years: an acoustic guitar.  Long Island native, Nicole Monroe wrote her first song that same day, playing the open strings and singing a melody over top. Monroe spent several years following that day advancing her guitar playing and song writing proficiency, finally performing three of her original songs in public at age 13.  "I was so nervous, but determined to do it! I forgot the lyrics in the middle of my first song and all I remember hearing was a man in the crowd whisper 'It's okay.  Go on, you can do it' so I did and it felt amazing."

As a shy and sensitive teen, she found writing music to be an emotional outlet and performing was her way of releasing those emotions one word at a time.  Nicole states, "I had always been drawn to the emotion behind everything, be it a song, a film, sometimes even a news article" and she has a knack for eloquently expressing emotion through her art.  Audiences from Boston, Massachusetts down to Charlotte, North Carolina have experienced the joy, fear, and pain in every word and chord when Monroe performs.  When you stand back and watch her interact with fans, you hear first hand of her ability to connect with an audience on a very personal level.

In 2005, Monroe self-released a five-song EP titled Notebooks and Pencils.  The release was also engineered and produced by Monroe, who also performed all instruments and vocals. Following the release, she took time to focus on school and work, and sadly music slipped out of her reach as she started acting like more of an adult.  The story doesn't end there though.  In 2010, Monroe moved to Charlotte, NC where she fell back in love with the art of performing.  And by 2012 she was a Nominee for the CMA Women in Rock category.

Nicole is currently in Charlotte writing material for her follow-up EP, which she is hoping to begin working on this year.  Her passion doesn't end with music, either.  she is forming a charitable foundation, which she will donate a percentage of EP sales to, in order to support homegrown non-profit organizations.  "I want to be at least a tiny hand giving back to those people who are doing great things.  Even if i can only give a little at a time, I know that I am making a slight difference," she states.

You can purchase Nicole Monroe's EP Notebooks and Pencils now on iTunes and Amazon.
