About Us:
“Threads of Scarlet” is the leading
rock/alternative band from
Barbados/USA. Featuring
singers/songwriters/guitarists Nick
Ward and Jesse Foster, drummer Stu
Damm, and bassist Mark Glinka.
Nick and Jesse are childhood friends
and although their personalities are
poles apart, musically they share a
unique and magnetic space. They spent
their early years in Barbados, and
were both introduced to theguitar
before age ten. Nick quickly grew into
his instrument, but was never
satisfied with constantly playing
covers. Throughout his years at school
between Barbados and Canada, he kept
close to the music by constantly
writing, and played in the groups
“Substance” and “JNJ” when in
Barbados, and “Cranberry Green” in
Canada.
Jesse’s musical journey saw him
spending hours learning complex
techniques on the electric guitar and
numerous drills on his acoustic,
determined to master both styles. He
dedicated all of his time to his
guitars, and for Jesse it has always
been “music or nothing.”
Nick and Jesse began to perform on the
local music circuit as an acoustic
duo. Then one day, armed with loads of
ambition, they went to New York in
search of opportunity. Their talents
were quickly recognized, and they were
signed to a label, spending several
months recording 11 tracks. However,
as is so often the case, expectations
were not realized, and things fell
through. Fortunately, this unpleasant
disappointment made them stronger, and
provided additional inspiration for
them to write even more.
Nick and Jesse met Stu and Mark during
their time in New York and the
chemistry between them was instant,
the paths they had taken, very
similar.
Stu is from New York and began drum
lessons at 8. He went on to major in
music at the University of Colorado,
where he met with his first band,
Steak, recording and touring
nationally for several years, and
having two of their songs selected to
be included on the soundtrack for the
motion picture release of “Super
Troopers”. Stu eventually left the
band and went on to perform at
countless US venues including the
legendary Bleeker Street in NYC and
the Warped Tour, quickly becoming one
of the foremost percussionists on the
exclusive NYC club scene.
Cleveland, Ohio is Mark's home, and he
started playing bass at age 14. Mark
has performed with Columbus bands “Far
From Grace”, “Montage” and “Sophomore
Year”. He has a large and in-depth
knowledge of the music that has come
to define rock, and his own unique
style of playing helps to define the
sound of the band.
On returning to Barbados, the band
connected with Anthony Lowhar and John
Roett of Commercial Music Inc., and
entered into a recording/production
deal that promises to fulfill their
immense potential.
