SongBlast

About

What is SongBlast?  It’s all about great songs, wonderfully performed…and having a BLAST!  Pat Balder and Glen Everhart have spent their lives writing, performing, and loving all genres of popular American music.  Pat knows every rock ‘n’ roll classic through and through.  Glen knows about every acoustic guitar-based hit ever to grade the airwaves.  They combine the fun, always-involve-the-audience aspect of a dueling pianos act with powerful, super-tight vocal and guitar arrangements that leave audiences feeling SongBlasted!
