Biographies

VCA graduate Glenn, is a master guitarist and a seasoned international performer. Jessica has a swag full of national and international awards for her songwriting and performance skills including an APRA award and a JB (John Butler) Seed award. 

Their duo was conceived after Glenn happened upon Jessica Paige playing at a cosy bar in Bourke Street and, having a keen radar for top-notch musicians, she invited him up to jam with her. They made such beautiful music together and realized they had something rare and special and so their jazz guitar duo was born.

 

Glenn has played all over Australia and South East Asia, has made numerous television appearances as a session guitarist (including Channel 7's Good Friday Appeal, Channel 9's Starstruck and Carols by Candlelight, and Channel 10's GMA).  He has backed Vanessa Amorosi, Danni

Minogue, Kate Ceberano, Ross Wilson, Rhonda Burchmore and Wilbur Wilde. He also was a National Jazz Awards finalist and has played at many prestigious festivals, including The Melbourne International Jazz

Festival, The Electric Jazz Festival and the Wangaratta Jazz Festival. He has conducted improvisation

workshops in Asia and recently returned from Paris where he worked as a freelance jazz guitarist.

 

Jessica is also a festival performer, and has been on the bill for the St Kilda Festival in 2007 and 2008, The Ranges Festival, The Sustainable Living Festival, The International Guitar Festival, Corinbank Festival (ACT), Banyule Festival, Darebin Festival and many more. Jessica has won many awards for her own songwriting skills and has travelled interstate to perform at many top notch venues, solo and with her band. This duo, however, gives Jessica the opportunity to sing favourite jazz standards with one of Australia’s top guitarists. A delightful musical partnership!
