About Glen Millstone
Born beneath the Pennine hills on the outskirts of Manchester comes Glen Millstone an acoustic troubadour with spellbinding tales to tell. Doffing an old flat cap and looking like a worker from a cotton mill in 1871 this emerging artist finds pride in writing real songs for real folk. An honest songwriting approach drawing from surroundings of rainy weather, cobblestone floors, and dry-stone walls embodying the spirit of the north. A quintessentially British artist that the working class can get behind. Glen Millstone’s Debut Single “I’ve A Way” looks back on past school days in a folk narrative style reminiscent of the likes of Bob Dylan but with a pop sensibility in the harmonized choruses similar to Elvis Costello or Jeff Lynne (ELO).
From the outset, it is made clear that this is an artist who wants to push boundaries as the single includes an acoustic guitar harmony break and a brass section. In an industry that is saturated with manufactured pop, it’s a rarity to find tracks that have such thought and musical craftsmanship woven into the seams of the record. This first offering is a song that due to its complex layered use of subtle instrumentation and wonderfully empowering lyrics you can’t help but fall for the charming melodies accompanied by warm and tender chord patterns.
