Glen Phillips In The Chapel

I finally had a chance to participate in “Sofa Sundays” with Glen Phillips last night via the fine folks at StageIt, which is a whole ‘nother conversation. But while I was checking that out, somebody in the chat room mentioned that Fuel/Friends had recently posted an entry in their Chapel Sessions series featuring Glen, which I was completely unaware of!

[Clearly, my Toad radar is on the blink, dammit.]

Glen’s going to be on the road in the coming weeks with a Cleveland date (which I can’t wait for) at the Winchester on Saturday, May 19th.

Here’s a link to check out his complete schedule of upcoming shows….including some dates later this year with Grant-Lee Phillips!

Until he makes it to your fine city, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this session.

Heather from Fuel/Friends writes (and I agree):

Glen is one of the most lovely, wrenching songwriters that I know of who is still plugging away intelligently from those bands I loved in the ’90s. There is a specific timbre his voice hits that other longtime fans will understand when I say just slices through all those deadened layers that calcify around my insides. Just a straight shot through. As the years pass, I hear him harnessing a certain type of weariness –no, quietness, maybe– but also there is still that bubbling current of hope and a satisfaction with the lives we have woven together from all of this crazy life.

By the way, a recent interview updates the status of the in-progress Toad the Wet Sprocket reunion album and Phillips says that “it could be out later this year and that will be something since we haven’t made an album in 16 years.”

Having heard a couple of the new songs during the band’s performance here last year at the Kent Stage, the new album should really be something to look forward to.
