Glenn M is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter. \u00a0He calls his original music worldrockjazzbluesfolk because his songs have such diverse influences they do not neatly fit into any one category. Plus, tired of giving long-winded answers, he needed something concise to say in response to the frequent question “what kind of music do you play?” \u00a0Glenn grew up listening to and playing classic rock and blues. \u00a0His interests evolved from there, and\u00a0he continues to seek out and study music from many different genres. \u00a0This diversity is reflected in his playing and songwriting. \u00a0In his music are strains of the classic rock and blues he grew up on, as well as jazz, Brazilian, reggae, cajun, Caribbean, celtic, and many different African styles, including ones from Mali, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and South Africa. \u00a0His influences range from King Sunny Ade to King Crimson, from the Grateful Dead to Bebel Gilberto, from Jimi Hendrix to John Coltrane, and from Bob Dylan to Bob Marley.<\/p>\n
