All profits from the digital sales of Drive All Night will be donated to Little Kids Rock, the non-profit charity Clarence Clemons donated his energy towards. Little Kids Rock provides music education classes to K-12 students in public schools that have been stripped of their music programs. Learn more at www.littlekidsrock.org.

While the bones of the release date back to sessions for Rhythm and Repose, the recording of Drive All Night was largely inspired by Glen’s relationship with Jake Clemons, nephew of Clarence Clemons aka “The Big Man,” a prominent member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. And of course, Glen joined Bruce for a rendition of the song in Kilkenny over the summer.

Glen is currently on tour in Europe, but returns home for two shows later this month >>
