Sounds Like
I'm not quite sure who I sound like. My low range and baritone voice have been likened to John Wetton from Asia or Greg Lake from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. James Taylor and Frank Zappa both helped mold my on-stage personality and humor. I am greatly inspired vocally and lyrically by Barry Privett from Carbon Leaf and Alan Doyle from Great Big Sea.
My Mom first played me The Beatles. Drummer Neil Peart from Rush was my first musical hero, but keyboard-wise, I was moved by the 70's prog-rock stylings of Rick Wakeman from Yes and Keith Emerson from ELP. After discovering jazz, I was drawn to organist Jimmy Smith and pianist Keith Jarrett. In the classical realm, I prefer Glenn Gould, and in the rock world I have to give props to my main man, Bruce Hornsby.
Growing up listening to The Beatles, progressive rock, and jazz, Glen Nelson has spent his lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of making music. Glen received his bachelor's degree in Music Education from West-Conn, a Master's Degree in Music Technology from NYU, and a Sixth-Year Degree in Educational Administration from Sacred Heart University in '04. During the 90's, Glen spent five unforgettable summers as a counselor at Camp Encore/Coda in Sweden, Maine. Cranking up his Goff Hammond B3 organ in April 1997 for Flipper Dave, 'Flipper Glen' had written, recorded, and toured with Odyssey, Via Satellite, The Big Organ Trio, Weather Balloon, Mighty Little, and doo-wop group The Five Satins, famous for the 1 smash "In The Still of the Night".
In recent years, Glen has written and produced two nationally award-winning CDs, a live concert DVD, and performs regularly with his wife Susan Birk in Spaghetti Cake, an original rock band for the whole family. 'Mr. Nelson' has taught K-5 general classroom music in Watertown, CT for over 10 years. With his students at school he has produced seven CDs of original music, raising over $30,000 for local charities. Glen has lived with his family in Nashville, TN, and continues to write and produce stacks of his own songs and teach afterschool songwriting workshops. Currently, Glen is organist and pianist at Immaculate Heart Of Mary Church in his hometown of Harwinton, CT. In addition, Glen is the proud father of three beautiful children named Fox, Vayle, and Aidan.

Spaghetti Cake's latest single "Guitar Hero" is by far the band's most rocking anthem about the fire, the passion, and the power of your first guitar hero, your first real record, and your first real guitar.

Oh I almost forgot. This is of course just footage from a rehearsal and by no means a product, but I wanted to share with you what I am doing. Takes a few to get started... This song is a complete revamp and loosely based on Don Ho's Who is the Lolo?
Glen, your music absolutely rocks!!! So wish our band could add that special dimension that only the piano can provide. My favorite instrument for sure. Amazing, amazing stuff. Keep it up!!!
