"..gentle and bombastic songs ....Calming pacing through his songs, Nuotio gives every word and note a cinematic sheen, virtually drawing a shield between audience and performer."
Daniel Sylvester -
EXCLAIM! CONCERT REVIEWS -Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ottawa ON September 29, 2008
"... Unnervingly complex pop songs... Nuotio's shows are sexy and sad and angry in turns....little musical tantrums, walking the tightrope between studied and spontaneous. He has all the lust of a typical gay man but he channels it through an indie musician's paper heart. The results are invariably stirring." - Marcus McCann - CAPITAL XTRA -
"
"Since tonight's Essex Green/Camera Obscura show at Barrymore's is sold out, there's really not much point to talking about why people should go (most overlooked reason: because Glenn Nuotio is opening, and he's excellent)." - http://www.iheartmusic.net -
"Blending seriousness and cheekiness is central to Glenn Nuotio's songs. He tries to break the boundary between the performer and the audience, both by encouraging participation and by being honest about the personal content of his songs. Whatever the style, he shows a finely tuned sensibility for melodies, hooks, and damned good songs" Tom Mrozewksi -THE MUSE, St. John's, NL

I have finally hit the road on a busking tour to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.
You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
Pursuing Ottawa folk solidarity, I invite you Exile Infoshop on Saturday the 18th. It's at 256 Bank (at Cooper, second floor). I'll be playing a set, along with May Jun (also Ottawan) and Two Kids Running Away (sweethearts touring from Alberta).
You know we can accomplish a lot when we get together. Come out for some songs and a chat, maybe we can get some things connected for shows later in summer.
