Bio
Brian Glover is a family-friendly singer-songwriter from Richmond . He sings a wide variety of original music and cover songs, covering classic and modern country, classic through alternative rock, and many styles in-between. His original songs tell stories of his diverse life experiences with raw honesty, sometimes with cheesy or ironic humor to laugh at tougher situations. He also sings more embellished, cleverly-worded parody and low-brow humor songs that typically get good audience reactions from folks of all ages, such as "All I Have to Do is Meme," "Summer Sasquatch Hunt," "Back Home to Kentucky," and many others. Notably, his Halloween themed sets are crowd favorites.
Listeners have compared Brian's classic sounding vocals to the likes of Johnny Cash, Eddie Vedder, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Aaron Lewis, among others. His writing, depending on the song, has been compared to the likes of John Prine, Keith Whitley, Weird Al for the Halloween parodies, and more.
In live performances, Brian sings a lot of upbeat original tunes with a few deeper songs thrown in the mix, accompanied by his acoustic guitar, and often times, a cajon stomp box. Brian has performed at a wide variety of venues from Farmers' Markets to bars and restaurants to radio and television, such as Knoxville's Blue Plate Special, local radio, and WKYT. For longer sets, Brian sings some great covers and requests.
