STREET TEAM FAQ
Who runs this team? That's classified, sorry…but since we’re all friends here I guess it’s ok to introduce myself. My name is Robert Brandt. I’ve worked with Glass Harp (in one capacity or another) since the very night that the "Strings Attached" concert in October of 2000. I usually answer to the following: "Publicist", "Media Relations Boy", "Minister of Propaganda", "Chris Queen’s Gear-Hauler", or "Hey Bob, Get Us Some Sandwiches". I’m that guy with the black hair and goatee that’s lurking around at all the gigs drinking way too much coffee. J My background in music is booking and promoting blues, progressive rock and jam band shows in the Cleveland, OH area; having worked with bands from Italy, Belgium, Norway, UK, Australia, as well as all over the USA. Even though Glass Harp initially went their separate ways 5 years before I was born (you do the math!), when you grow up in Northeast Ohio and are a serious music fan, the reverence for the band is almost built-in from day one. It’s been a huge headache…no, I mean a huge HONOR to be a part of this "family" at this stage in my career, and I hope we can make some great things as time goes by. What location is the team based out of? Cleveland, Ohio or wherever Bob’s cell phone and e-mail can reach him. What is the point of this website? The Glass Harp Street Team website was begun to help promote Glass Harp’s music by way of you! What better way for Glass Harp to gain new listeners then with the help of those who have previously been fans of Glass Harp’s music? How do I sign-up? You can sign up for the Glass Harp Street Team by visiting the join section of this site of this site. Do I get paid to be a Street Team member? No. We work together strictly on a volunteer basis. Can I contact Glass Harp through this website? We pass on all of your messages to Glass Harp (that we receive directly) but cannot guarantee you a personal response as the guys do receive a lot of mail. I am a member of the media and would like to contact Glass Harp. What do I do? Send your requests to: bob@q5media.com and we’ll take it from there. |

Yes. This is the official band-sanctioned and mother approved Glass Harp Street Team.
Street Teams are comprised of groups of fans that gather together to help expose their favorite band to friends and fellow music listeners in their hometown. Members use promotional materials like Samplers, Stickers, Video, Flyers and Posters to give away to people just like themselves. Additionally, the team spreads the word throughout the online world via bulletin board postings, encouraging the adding of official web banners to related websites, e-mails, and radio station requests.
