Glam'r Kiti - Meet the Band

Bill Harrington

The central voice of Glam'r Kiti, Bill Harrington was raised in the Highlands of Virginia. He's has been rocking the East Coast for decades.
First catching gigs in his 20's, Bill's first major success came with the band Citizen Kane out of Kingsport, Tennessee. From there, he'd go on to lend his voice to a number of other musical acts, including Southern Rock group Bad Influence, and Classic Rock groups including The Chill, Factory Air (along with Greg Parrack), and Fairview Heights. His voice has been compared to that of Vince Neil and Miles Kennedy.
Bill's musical resume is tinged and shaped by the music he grew up loving in the 1970's. Bill says "My biggest influence, as far as a game-changer, would have to be Guns N' Roses, hands down."

Dane Lawhorne

Dane Lawhorne was born and raised in the Hill City of Lynchburg, Virginia.
A drummer since the age of 14, Dane could spin the sticks before he even hit his first rock beat on a makeshift kit he put together at home. After getting his first real kit for Christmas that same year, Dane began to hone his rock skills, playing along to the likes of Motley Crue and Bon Jovi.
Since stepping foot on stage with friends at the young age of 15, Dane's musical resume has grown exponentially, playing with half a dozen different bands in a variety of genres, including blues, variety, and, of course, rock.
Dane says "I am so thankful to have found a home with Glam'r Kiti, and rocking the music I love the most with four amazing friends turned brothers. We have a great time at every show or just hanging out. Playing drums is a part of my life and who I am so come rock out with us. See you at the show!"

Greg Parrack

A native of the Roanoke area of Virginia, Greg is one of the co-founders of Glam'r Kiti in 2010.
Greg has had a love of music since a very young age. He started taking guitar lessons at just eight-years old, and it wasn't long before he was sharing that love of music with others. It only took five years for him to start teaching guitar to others. Greg also has experience in the rhythm department, learning drums at just 15-years old.
His touring career kicked off with the Shock Metal group, Fall Well's Nightmare in the late 90's and early 2000's, before a stint with Voodoo Circus (alongside Tommy Smith) and Air Factory (with Bill Harrington).
Greg says "My influences include, Slash, Angus Young, Dave Mustaine."

Joey Byrd

Music has been a part of Joey's life since he was little, watching is mom play piano, as he sang and danced along. The first show he ever saw live, featured his then soon-to-be dad (Tommy Smith) rockin' the Crow's Nest.
He was just 16, when he picked up his first bass guitar, a Squire P-Bass that was as blue as it could be. Joey, and his best friend, Ray, would sit and learn songs together, eventually trying to start a band of their own. But it would take a move to Franklin County, and a different group to give Joey his first shot on stage.
At 22, Joey take part in his first established band, The Venus Transit, playing with them for a while, before linking back up with Tommy and Greg to take part in a Comedy Rock group, Prison Mattress.
It wasn't long after that Glam'r Kiti was born, with Joey as their bassist. Joey says "Many years have passed since Glam'r Kiti has been around and we have had many a great shows, with a lot of great guys. And I’m looking forward to many more shows with great people."

Tommy Smith

A musical juggernaut, hailing from the Blue Ridge, Tommy has played music all over the nation.
He cut his teeth playing Blues inspired by the masters, including the likes of BB King and Muddy Waters.
He's been a staple on the East Coast music scene for years, in Blues group, Third Degree, and Variety band, Voodoo Circus (with Greg Parrack).
A co-founder of Glam'r Kiti in 2010, Tommy brings what one bandmate calls "a fluid, silky, and soulful feel to the fretboard".
