The Dog Ears Band is comprised of experienced, Vancouver-based musicians with a wide range of
musical backgrounds and influences. We generally perform as a quartet and bring in guest artists depending on the venue and customer preference. The band plays a mixture of
Jazz Standards, Swing, R & B and Blues.

Bass
Glenn Rowley
If music be the food of love......
Ever since Glenn first viewed the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show he knew this was what he wanted to do. He took up guitar at an early age and switched to bass to play rock and roll. Now many years and musical genres later playing bass in the Dog Ears is musically rewarding as well as so much fun.
