Piano Performance
Every song starts in the wood, a quiet resonance born from nylon-string, Godin (cedar and mahogany) and Taylor (spruce and sapele) guitars. Years of classical piano discipline, from Beethoven to Brahms to Debussy, underpin novel melodic and harmonic tapestries. Contemporary rhythms and technology complete each mix.
Front and center, though, flow lyrics written--and vocals performed--with care and a poetic sensibility.
Music, Books, and Heritage
From intimate acoustic arrangements to blues-infused rock 'n roll to award-winning prose, Glenn Vanstrum's work spans wide creative landscapes.
