Glen Phillips/Amber Rubarth

As the frontman for the on-again/off-again Toad the Wet Sprocket, low-key singer-songwriter Glen Phillips benefited from the alt-rock explosion of the '90s that turned Toad into a household name. His solo career hasn't fared as well (perhaps that's why Toad reunites every couple of years), but that hasn't kept Phillips from trying. Last year's Swallowed by the New features elegant arrangements and mellow vocals as Phillips explores his folkier side. Expect him to stick to solo material and the occasional Toad number at this show. (Niesel)
