Named in honor of a sketch by the Monty Python comedy troupe, this 4-piece band of Santa Barbara, CA high school cronies came to be known as Toad the Wet Sprocket in 1986. To this day, their mellow, melodic folk-pop sound made them one of the most successful alternative rock bands of the early 1990s.
What's up with the band?
Glen Phillips:
Glen recently released cds with two projects: Plover with Neilson Hubbard and Garrison Starr and Remote Tree Children with John Askew. Glen is currently touring with Works Progress Administration, a project with Sean and Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek), Luke Bulla (Jerry Douglas, Ricky Skaggs), Greg Leisz (Lucinda Williams, Wilco), Benmont Tench (Heartbreakers), Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello), and Davey Faragher (Cracker, Elvis Costello). Check WPAmusic.com for dates near you. In February he will once again be on the Cayamo cruise, this time with WPA.

In his spare time, Dean manages Toad's touring, licensing, and merchandise business.
