It is impossible not to feel the depth of being human, with all of its frailties, joys, sadness, fears, and strengths when listening to one of Glenn Chatten’s songs. His mastered ability as an acoustic finger-style guitarist combines mesmerizing eclectic rhythms with profound lyrics and melodies. Glenn’s song-writing emerges from the “in-between” spaces of life: the spaces between children playing at a park, between a gathering of aboriginal elders, or on a street corner in the downtown east-side of Vancouver.

Having deep respect for the musicians with whom he performs—Ken Cade on violin, Enrico Renzon on lead guitar, and Ross Christopher Fairbairn on bass—Glenn’s intent is always to make real everyone’s potential, sharing not only the soul-filled joy of music with them but fostering it in other artists in the community.

A participating member of SAC (Songwriters Association of Canada) and Music BC, the Musical Director of the Vancouver Youth Theatre, the Artistic Director of Vancouver’s “Joy Fest” Songwriters Festival, Glenn is a highly-respected and established singer/songwriter.
