Adrian Glynn with Dane Hartsell:October 20
Adrian Glynn with Dane Hartsell: Thursday, October 20: $15 door / $10 Students/Artists 8:00pm. Adrian Glynn stands apart. The Vancouver-based troubadour takes any opportunity to defy convention: he has turned murder ballads into spell-binding, microphone-free serenades, and abandoned the standard rock band setup in favour of suitcase kick drums and clawhammer piano strings. Originally a trained character actor, his flare for live performance has quickly won over audiences. In his intimate solo shows, Glynn continues to perfect his timeless blend of rough-hewn rock and dusty, Depression-era folk and blues. Ranging from stomping grooves to textured ballads and spine-tingling a cappella, while still retaining the songwriter’s stripped-down intimacy and melodic accessibility., his latest album reaffirms what fans have seen in Glynn since the beginning: an artist unafraid to deconstruct ancient musical traditions and rebuild them as his own. www.adrianglynn.com
