Dear Liza was formed in the winter of 1995 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Led by Cory Hubbert, Scott Rednor and Greg Glasson, the band exploded onto the Colorado music scene and went on to become one of the hardest touring bands of the 90’s in North America. Blending a mixture of Americana, Bluegrass, World Music and Roots rock the band went on to perform over 1200 shows over a five year period. What is now dubbed as the jam band generation “Dear Liza” was lumped into similiar scenes of bands like The Spin Doctors, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd and Rusted Root. Dear liza eventually struck a management deal with David Precheur who also spearheaded the career of Blues Traveler. The band quickly amassed a large following in the midwest as well as the east coast of the United States, constantly touring and widening its touring circuit every month. A high profile tour with Blues Traveler soon followed for their Grammy award winning album “FOUR” and brought the band into large arenas and stadiums exposing them to a larger audience. As the 90’s progressed Dear Liza released two albums and continued to tour until grinding to a halt in early 2000. All of the members went on to do great projects outside of The Dear Liza name and eventually reconvened for one off shows from 2003-2007. The band never officially broke up and is plotting to do a series of shows for the summer of 2010 that will be announced.
