Siggy Sjursen Position: Bass Birthplace: Harstad, Norway Current Home: Los Angeles, CA Influenced by the sound of Stevie Wonder, Motown, and fusion band Koinonia, Siggy left his native Scandinavia after passing an audition to play with American singer-songwriter Poe in 2001.

He is also a member of the band Instant People. Siggy once backed Glen in a band that also included the Doobie Brothers' John McFee for AOL sessions. He and John had the same reaction: "can you believe we played Rhinestone Cowboy with the man himself!"

Bill Maclay Position: Road Manager Employed with Glen since 1978. Birthplace: El Segundo, CA Current home: Inland Empire Background: I was born at a very young age in a Southern California beach town that did not have a beach. Fortunately there was a sound reinforcement company, so at the tender age of 15 I started my career in show business. Becoming a sound engineer offered me a fabulous opportunity to travel the world with a variety of entertainers. In 1978 I was ready to settle down, so I joined up with Glen. Sometime during the early 80's I realized that I was a better administrator than sound man and made the switch to Road Manager. I have truly enjoyed the past 30 plus years with Glen, but if I were to do it all over again I would be a dentist. I could administer the same amount of pain and the hours would be shorter.
Brad Conyers Position: Audio Lead/ Monitor Engineer Employed with Glen since 1994 Birthplace: Vinton, IA Current Home: Fullerton, CA With a background in Jazz and Symphonic Percussion, Brad holds the distinction of being the only member in the troupe to play Carnegie Hall, besides Glen himself. Brad accomplished this at the tender age of 15. His own band "The Ziggens" is finishing their 7th record. Before hitting the road with the Glen Campbell Show in 1994, Brad worked with artists like Tony Bennett, Crystal Gayle, and countless other acts that came through Knott's Berry Farm during his 6 year tenure.

It was during this time in 1996 that John began his career with the Glen Campbell Show.
