SPOTTED: Country trio Gloriana performing at an outdoor concert at The Grove in Los Angeles, July 19, 2012. The event was part of the outdoor mall’s Summer Concert Series, sponsored by Citibank.
Gloriana is composed of brothers Tom and Mike Gossin and Rachel Reinert, whom the Gossin brothers met on Myspace. Seriously. Rachel told Wonderwall recently about their initial meeting:“We had some mutual friends who pointed Tom and Mike in my direction when they first moved to Nashville. I’d been in Nashville doing my singing/songwriting thing, actually trying to get a solo deal, and it just wasn’t happening,” Rachel said. “The guys reached out to me over Myspace, and I had some mutual friends who told me that they were really talented musicians. I was a little bit reluctant at first to respond and get together with them, because I had never even thought about being in a band prior to that. I knew things just weren’t going anywhere for me, so I decided to take a chance, and it ended up being great. Fortunately, [we] just meshed. We really chalk it up to fate.”
Thank God for fate, because these guys really put out some enchanting music and an exciting live show. Enjoy these pics from the show at The Grove:
