Adrian Glynn

In the Fall of 2010, Glynn was a much lauded solo act at many of the UK’s finest music and literary events including the Dylan Thomas Festival in Wales and the Word! Festival in Leicester, who described his show as “funny, charming and shockingly brilliant.. The lyrics are poems and the performance astonishing”. Glynn has also toured all over Canada playing numerous folk and pop festivals and was CBC Radio3 host Grant Lawrence’s “act to see” at 2011’s Pop Okanagan festival in British Columbia.

For the past 3 years, Glynn has also been a member of acclaimed modern roots music act, The Fugitives. Together, they have released two records, toured extensively both in Canada and abroad and played numerous folk and literary festivals, including the Vancouver Folk Festival, the Hillside Music Festival and the Dylan Thomas Festival: “One of the best events we've ever had... right up there with Allen Ginsberg and Ken Kesey”. (Executive Director, Dylan Thomas Festival, UK).

Recently, Glynn starred as "The Writer" in the Firehall Arts Centre's celebrated new theatrical work, Chelsea Hotel; Featuring the Songs and Poems of Leonard Cohen. Glynn brought his own understanding of the legendary writer’s music and poetry to the stage with “such bruising honesty that he stops the show”. (Georgia Straight).

As a travel writer, Glynn has released a compilation of travel writings from a year spent in India and the Middle East entitled Fish-Skin Memories (2010) and is set to release new music (both Fugitives and solo) in 2013.

This deep, spine-tingling singer-songwriter is certainly sky-bound no matter what.

The Vancouver Sun

Adrian Glynn sings the blues in a way that makes you feel his pain but crave nothing but his voice for comfort.. It’s a voice you get lost in, like a dream you fell into, awakening stilled and captivated; a haunting voice that needs no help in commanding your attention…the power exuding from his stage presence is something that needs to be witnessed for it to be understood.

(Adrian) sang a capella most beautifully which captivated me so much, almost bringing me to tears on his last song. It always inspires me when i see artists that make no apologies for their voices, songs and selves and in that truth i find the most riveting beauty. this truth is more than inspiring, it is empowering.
