About: River Glen and his band are a powerhouse of talent and their love of performance is palpable. Their original music playfully blends elements of folk, pop, rock, jazz, and more…always with clever rhymes and tasty grooves. River’s songwriting is steeped in the socially conscious tradition of songwriters like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, and his work strikes a delicate balance of pop-appeal and lyrical substance. In 2017, River was named an Iowa Arts Council Fellow for his music. After the release of “As Above, So Below”, a record that features over 150 singers/musicians from Iowa, River Glen is putting his group center-stage again for the spotlight. Hailing from Dubuque and Iowa City, River & His Band are a powerhouse of talent; with dexterous vocals, rich harmonies, flashy musicianship, and deft lyricism that’s clever, poignant, and heart-centered. Their original music is best described as folk-pop and folk-rock, with tiny infusions of jazz and hip-hop. All of it with a socially-conscious delicate grit that’s rooted in authenticity and storytelling.
