Southland Blues Magazine:

Glen Maiden nails the skins with the determination of a marathon runner. His drumming with Joe Cocker was unparalleled among the percussionists that Cocker has had during his long career. Glen’s work with Stuff, “the funkiest studio band in New York City,” and his performances with Cocker including two world tours led to Glen being an honored winner in Rolling Stone’s prestigious Reader’s Poll for two consecutive years.

Performer Magazine:

From some of the most desirable big shows to some of the smallest "cool" gigs one could ever do. Drummer Glen Maiden can do them all. He does them because of his love of music. He is a real musician who is never afraid of any musical challenge. He is co founder of LA’s blues band, Give Me Back My Wig. When I ran into Glen back stage at the Key Club in Hollywood, he is one who always has time for everyone at shows and events, whether he is shaking hands or kissing babies. He's always working on ways to give back to the music industry. As one of the best, grooving funky blues drummers I ever known, he's also one of the kindest persons I've ever met. First in line to do what he can. For all he continues to do and be for all of us, I'm proud to call him one of the finest musicians I known.
