2008 is the year of musical rabbits

About Me

Charlie Glasspool sings, plays piano, plays trumpet in several groups including The Silver Hearts, The Kiss and Tells, Mouquirous, The Backburners, The Burning Hell, Andrea Lindsay and the Hep Cs, and solo as Hot Buttered Charlie and The Oils. With the demise of the once legendary Silver Hearts complete, he is sensing the opportunity to unleash his world-domination space chamber ensemble 3C84. He is a member of SOCAN and has become a fixture in the criminally-under-the-radar Peterborough arts scence, although he has been spotted lurking around darkened corners in Montreal and Toronto of late. He detests conflict and generally lives in a fantasy world which he creates and describes in his original songs. He is 32 years old. He is a Pisces.

Influences: Charlie Glasspool has performed at festivals across Canada including the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Calgary Folk Festival, the Vancouver Folk Festival, Mariposa, Harbourfront, Ottawa Blueshammer Fest, and the Peterborough Folk Festival. He has played for capacity crowds in Nanton, Alberta and Avening, Ontario. He has composed music for theatre, modern dance pieces and film. He holds an Honours B.A. (with distinction) from UWO and a B.Ed from the University of Windsor. He has been pursuing post-graduate work for the last 6 years at the prestigious University of Hunter Street ("Canada's Not-So-Great Small University"--Maclean's), narrowly avoiding rustication at every turn. Some other key accomplishments include the creation (with longtime accomplice Mathias Kom) of the smash hit "Twas A Rough Night: Macbeth, the Musical" and the annual Gorgeous Georgie Revue which has welcomed over 100 citizens of Peterborough to sing a song for the first time in public. He also co-wrote (with old friend and fellow county boy Dan Walmsely) the critically acclaimed play "County Boy" about growing up in picturesque and intoxicating Grey County. He has performed on countless albums including 5 releases by The Silver Hearts and the Gorgeous Georgie Revue apiece, and guest spots on work by Al Tuck, Carolyn Mark, Patrick Walsh, The Burning Hell etc.
