About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Hi. I am Glen. I play music, usually on an acoustic guitar. I sing, too. And write songs. I spend about half of my time driving around the country making music for people. The other half is spent at home with my three daughters and wife (and friends, dog and chickens) making tasty things to eat. I'd like to make it more like 3/4 at home, but it hasn't worked out that way yet.
I used to be in a band called Toad the Wet Sprocket . We hadn't played together for a few years, but we'll do the occasional show now and then. I still play lots of (well, some of) those songs live solo, just in case you were wondering. I also have a side project with the members of Nickel Creek called Mutual Admiration Society .
My last record, Mr Lemons, came out in 2006, as did the EP Unlucky seven. The new EP is called Secrets of the New Explorers, and is inspired by the new wave of private space travel. Enjoy.....
More info at another time.
Be well -g
