If you like Classic Rock and 90’s Grunge then you’ll love Glenn Strange! Over the past several years, Glenn Strange has become a recognized name in the live music scene on Long Island and in New York City, playing regular gigs at well-known music venues, restaurants, private parties and festivals, drawing large crowds with their mix of covers and originals. Glenn Strange is Giancarlo Bellistri on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jack Chambers on lead guitar and backing vocals, Stanley Hu on bass and Jack Medaglia on drums. Singer/guitarist Giancarlo Bellistri (15 years old) met drummer Jack Medaglia (13) in 2019 at School of Rock, and the pair soon decided to perform together under the Glenn Strange name, doing open mics, duos and gigs at local venues. When the pandemic hit in 2020, the band used the extra time to expand their set list and perform outdoors. In September of 2020, lead guitarist Jack Chambers (15), who had previously played in bands at Bach 2 Rock, joined the band. Bassist Stanley Hu (14), who also played at School of Rock, joined the band in May 2021. With influences ranging from The Beatles, Elvis and Led Zeppelin to Nirvana and Foo Fighters, the foursome delivers high-energy performances with acoustic quality and smooth transitions. The band’s originals show off their musicality with rock-vibed guitar riffs and lyrical hooks, staying in the same lane as their cover repertoire. Glenn Strange recently wrapped recording at Westfall Recording Studios in Farmingdale, and plan on releasing their original music on all streaming platforms over the next several months. Glenn Strange is a crowd pleaser, having played legendary venues like The Bitter End, The Jones Beach Bandshell, Mulcahy’s, Mr. Beery’s, Bowery Electric, Still Partners, Garden Social and The Clubhouse. In October 2023, Glenn Strange placed in the top four in Audacy’s National Opening Act Contest, and performed at the Prudential Center in New Jersey as a run up to Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson and One Republic at the We Can Survive Benefit Concert.
