Glenn Douglas Reid was born in Waverley, Nova Scotia, raised in Montreal, Quebec, and has spent most of his adult life in Toronto, Ontario although his music has taken him all over Canada many times. A very proud Canadian, Glennâs music often reflects his love of his country and the people therein.

Before settling on performing and songwriting as a career Glenn spent time as an aircraft mechanic in the Canadian Armed Forces, an apprentice electrician for Canadian National Railways, and as a cook for various restaurants. Glennâs love of cooking remains to this day, although the main beneficiaries of his hobby these days are his wife Cindy and their dinner guests.

Glennâs musical influences are many and varied. From his jazz drumming father Crawford comes a love of big bands and crooners. From his square dancing Nova Scotian mother Greta, a love of traditional country artists such as hank Williams Sr., hank Snow, Patsy Cline, et al. Coming of age through the 60âs and 70âs brought Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly, followed by peace loving pop icons like the Beatles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Credence Clearwater Revival. Traces of all these influential creators can be found in Glennâs music to this day.

All of Glennâs songs come from personal experiences and the people who have shared them. The current CD âIâm Inâ and the new songs reflect Glennâs experiences through falling in love, battling cancer (and winning, so far), getting married, reflecting on his beloved Nova Scotia and much, much more. Also on the new CD, included as a bonus track, Glennâs first recorded Christmas song entitled âThis Christmas Timeâ.
