Glen Collins and The Alibis are amazing!

GLEN COLLINS and the ALIBI's presented an amazing performance at our KALAHARI Veterans Suicide Prevention Awareness Concert. They are just simply a great Country Music band. All of the members of the band sing. They have great voices and personalities and they event wrote a special song for veterans.

Great variety

I danced to this band about a year ago in Seguin, and had the most fun night. They played a good variety of tunes - fun songs to dance to. Some bands play a lot of slow, boring, tired music. But this band played tunes that you could not only dance 2-step to, but swing also - single and triple-step east coast. I requested a polka and they were accommodating. Bottom line: lots of FUN songs! I'm going to catch them next Sunday in Geronimo.

Professional

A great band with very talented musicians. Rarely do we hear a band doing harmonies and each band member is tops in their music and singing. Just good music to satisfy their dancers.

Glen Collins & The Alibis / Refreshing drink of Pure Country

Take a road trip to the hill country down around Austin, Texas, anytime you please. Have some BBQ and a beverage but be sure to include some Glen Collins & The Alibis band on the menu. The ole' saying goes something like this; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And these boys can play your standards all night long. This band is the real deal, no brag just fact. Glen Collins & The Alibis will satisfy your country appetite. Tell 'em RG says "Hi".
