Host

Glen Erickson

Glen Erickson loves music and deep conversation, among other things.

While chasing his own dream of being a rockstar, primarily with Canadian alt-country band The Wheat Pool (2005-2012), he found his way into roles as an independent record label owner (Shameless Records), artist manager, publicist, and promoter. He served as Board Chair for his provincial music association (Alberta Music) helping bring artist development and export programs to the membership, while regularly serving on other arts boards and volunteering as jury member to multiple granting, award, and festival organizations in Canada.

Glen’s passion for the business and the art of music, fused with his love of people and authentic conversation, makes this podcast an outlet he couldn’t refuse. His love for doing anything possible with his daughter, Alexi, makes their “Post-Fame” segment a dream.
