SuperGlide
Joey Bishop/Lead Vocals
Joey Bishop started singing around the same time he began speaking at the age of 2 and had his first public performance when he was 7. Joey left his family in Kentucky at 19 to go to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to sing & since then has never looked back. He had been performing in numerous touring acts across the Southeast & Mid West when he got a call from a band called Crystal Ace from Charlotte in 1993 & he has been there since.
After a 6 year stint in an original project called Hard Charlie, Joey & the band received radio airplay and achieved regional success touring as the support act with 38 Special, Ringo Starr, Ace Frehley & Eddie Money. It was after these accomplishments that Joey realized it was time for a switch in direction.
He then received a call from an old drummer friend, Mark Hill, who wanted to put together something unique for this area. Our ideas & personalities clicked & SuperGlide was born. Since then SuperGlide have had the honor of sharing the stage with the band Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, The Little River Band, Rick Springfield & many others just to name a few. Now the proud father of a 6 1/2 year old daughter the memories of me singing non-stop have come full circle. “There is absolutely nothing better than the feeling of making people happy & taking them away from whatever hardships they may be experiencing, it truly is what I live for”.
Joey Bishop endorses Shure wireless microphones & Shure inner ear monitor systems as well as Westone Inner ear buds. He also uses Rhythm Tech tambourines & percussion.

Robbie Hegler
Robbie discovered the bass guitar at the early age of 13, and began performing live one year later with the band he founded in high school, “Silent Run”. Silent Run was very successful performing out on the circuit until January of 1987.
Robbie, now only 23 years old, received the call from Myrtle Beach legends Sugar Creek now simply known as “The Creek”. Robbie was with The Creek during the height of their success until they ended in October 1990. For the next eleven years he traveled extensively with The Fantastic Shakers, successfully performing & singing all up & down the East Coast.
Then when he received a call from his former cohort from The Creek, Tim Clark, they realized it was time to reunite and play together in “The Tim Clark Band”. Robbie then hooked up with Jim Quick who founded The Coastline Band, and accepted the position with Jim continuing to perform with Coastline for 3 years.
After the birth of his son Grayson Robbie decided to take a well deserved time off from traveling and stay home. He was away for about 4 months when he received an offer from the band, Swampdawamp based out of Charlotte, NC. Robbie played briefly with Swampdawamp and then received a call from his brothers in SuperGlide. He was all too ready to join forces with this amazing group of singing musicians especially since he had a history with every one of the guys.
Now after playing over 5,000 shows in his career, it is here with SuperGlide that Robbie feels most at home and is able to add his immense musical talent and unbelievable natural vocal range to an already incredible band.
Robbie now resides in Greenville, SC with his wife Anita and son, future bass player extraordinaire, Grayson.
