Who we are

Bitter Glitter was born on December 16, 2015 during a dangerous mission to kill a bottle of wine. Tonya spoke some “golden words” and Doug coupled it with an originally created composition titled “Soul Crusher”. The idea behind Bitter Glitter is simple, we all have demons in one form or another. We all are trying to deal with them. Veterans have a slightly skewed view of life. Some say veterans possess a dark humor and a odd sense of what is motivating. We aren’t going to argue those points, instead we are going to create original works of art that some might suggest have a dark sense of humor and an odd sense of motivation. Come along on our journey and don’t be afraid to voice your ideas too!
