Glenn Tilbrook/Jefferson Grizzard

One half of the phenomenal songwriting duo that made up the Brit group Squeeze, Glenn Tilbrook has amassed an impressive catalog of solo material since Squeeze called it a day (although the group still reconvenes for the occasional tour). His latest album, Happy Ending, is a terrific collection of quirky pop songs. Though it's an acoustic album, you wouldn't know it from listening to the album as it includes a range of instrumentation (kazoos, sitar, Indian harmonium, ukuleles, bongos). Tilbrook loves to play the Beachland (he even wrote a song about the club) so expect a vigorous show. And yes, he does play some of Squeeze's biggest hits. (Niesel)
