His fingers create a soundscape of compelling melodies that invite them to leave the cityrush behind in an aural escape.

Glenn is a fingerstyle guitarist, his compositions suggest multiple guitars, but it’s really just one guy, ten flying fingers, one instrument. All instrumental, Glenn’s songs suggest moods and narratives that compel the listener to fill in the details.

His has released three CDs: Innovations (2005), Busker (2006), and Into the Unknown (2010). His compositions have been hailed as “sheer virtuosity” (20th Century Guitar magazine) and “delicate, accomplished solo acoustic guitar work” (PLAY: New Haven Arts & Entertainment Weekly). Glenn has shared bills with Monty Montgomery, Don Ross, Antoine Dufour, and Vicky Genfan, among others.” Glenn plays regularly throughout the northeast and tours nationally to bring his music to new fans and locales. A new CD is in the works.
