In the mid-sixties, he recorded and toured as part of the folk-blues trio, Koerner, Ray & Glover, with five seminal albums released by Elecktra.

Tony "Little Sun" Glover (born Dave Glover, October 7, 1939, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States) is an American blues musician and music critic. He is a harmonica player and singer who was most notably associated with "Spider" John Koerner and Dave "Snaker" Ray in the early Sixties Folk Revival. Together, the three released albums under the name Koerner, Ray & Glover. He is also known as author of diverse 'harp song books', and was co-author, along with Ward Gaines and Scott Dirks, of the award-winning Little Walter biography Blues with a Feeling – The Little Walter Story.

Glover was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1939. As a teenager he performed in various local bands, playing guitar before taking up the blues harp. In 1963 he joined John Koerner and Dave Ray to form the blues trio Koerner, Ray & Glover. From 1963 to 1971, either solo or in some combination of the trio, they released at least one album a year. The group never rehearsed together or did much at all together. Ray referred to the group as "Koerner and/or Ray and/or Glover".
In the late sixties, Glover was an all-night underground disc-jockey on KDWB-AM in Minneapolis before forming the band Nine Below Zero. He also often performed as a duo with Ray and with Koerner, Ray & Glover reunion concerts. In 2007, he produced a documentary video on the trio titled Blues, Rags and Hollers: The Koerner, Ray & Glover Story.

Glover is the author of several blues harp song books, and was co-author, along with Ward Gaines and Scott Dirks, of the award-winning Little Walter biography Blues with a Feeling – The Little Walter Story, published by Routledge Press in 2002
