LIVING COLOUR Frontman COREY GLOVER Joins ONE TRIBE NATION All-Star Collective
July 9, 2026ONE TRIBE NATION will make its highly anticipated Los Angeles live debut on Saturday, July 25 at The Bluesadelic Sessions Live at The Den Studios, introducing audiences to one of Southern California's most accomplished new live bands.
Led by guitarist and musical director Michael Sanders and featuring Grammy-winning vocalist Corey Glover of LIVING COLOUR, the performance marks the first Los Angeles appearance of the band's powerhouse new lineup.
The show also serves as an early preview of the band's forthcoming third studio album, "Estado Dorado", delivering an explosive mix of original music alongside bold reinterpretations of songs by LIVING COLOUR, SANTANA, CURTIS MAYFIELD, SLY & THE FAMILY STONE and other legendary artists.
The collaboration between Sanders and Glover grew out of friendship and songwriting. After hearing one of Sanders's unfinished songs through a mutual friend, Glover immediately connected with the material. Since then, the pair have written multiple songs together, recorded new music, and developed a creative partnership that has become the foundation of ONE TRIBE NATION's next chapter.
"As a young black rock kid, those guys were gods to us," says Sanders. "Working with Corey has been one of those surreal full-circle moments. The first song we wrote together sounded like we'd been making music together for years."
While Glover's legendary voice anchors the band, ONE TRIBE NATION is far more than a featured artist project. The group brings together musicians whose combined résumés span some of the biggest names in rock, funk, jazz, soul, Latin music, and pop.
