About
Glenn Elvig, originally from Houston, Texas, now resides in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he works as a sculptor/furniture designer....and a singer/songwriter when the occasion arises. In 2011, after a studio fire, he started to play music as a distraction and invited a few friends over to start playing music together. These informal get- togethers turned into Creek House. Creek House has become the gathering place for some of the best musicians traveling this planet today... Michael Peter Smith...Lonnie Knight...David Mallett...Danny O'Keefe...Juni Fisher...Billy Dean...Claudia Schmidt...Sally Rogers...Michael Johnson...Jonathan Edwards...Doug MacLeod...Mike Dowling...Roy Book Binder...The DonJuans...Dan Mahar...Tom Paxton...Curtis & Loretta...Mustard's Retreat...Verlon Thompson...Michael Peterson...Gretchen Peters...David Grier...Lucie Blue Tremblay...Bryan Bowers...Mary Flower...Catfish Keith...Laurence Juber...Dean Magraw...Peter Ostrushko...Brooks Williams...Pat Donohue...Brandon Lee Adams...Adam Granger...Richard Smith...Beppe Gambetta...and the list includes so many more! Creek House Concerts....creekhouseconcerts.com....is now considered to be "The Carnegie Hall of House Concerts". Glenn has had the good fortune of opening for these amazing artists that are out on tour...and now will be doing a bit of touring as well. "Bullfrogs Singing In The Night" is about to go viral!
Glenn Elvig ....."an American visionary" The Cedar, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Recently, Glenn sang in the chorus on David Mallett's song "Celebration" on the CD of the same name. Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary also sang in the choir. Following that, Glenn did a mini tour with David down to Chatfield, Minnesota and opened for David at the Chatfield Center for the Arts. Earlier in the year, Glenn made the same trip with the legendary Roy Book Binder. Glenn hosted Roy's 75th birthday party/concert at Creek House on October 5, 2018. Creek House has Roy's 80th already on the books.
May 2019 found Glenn up in Nova Scotia, Canada playing a short solo set and then singing harmony with Lucie Blue Tremblay. More shows together and some songwriting and recording is ahead in 2020.
Gigs are being planned with Michael Peterson as well. Dreaming' up a small tour in Ireland...gotta start somewhere!!!! Holy smokes.
News! Glenn has teamed up with the superb guitarist John Rhodes. The duo, John Glenn, has been surprising crowds around the St. Paul / Minneapolis area with their music ... playing and singing Glenn's original songs ... and showcasing John's phenomenal guitar and mandolin work. John Glenn will be splitting the bill at Creek House March 28th, 2020 with the fabulous duo of Curtis and Loretta. Glenn and Loretta were classmates at Stillwater High School, Stillwater, Minnesota. Always a fun reunion!!
Glenn performed at The Ark in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on February 8, 2020. It was the debut of Glenn's first musical collaboration with his lifelong friend Carolyn Hall. Carolyn wrote the lyrics to "My Dog Shoes" and Glenn set them to music. "My Dog Shoes" was the first song Carolyn had written in 93 years. Glenn was the opening act for Mustard's Retreat. A bit of touring with David Tamulevich and Libby Glover later in the year...under the new nom de plume...My Dog Scruffy.
Glenn will be playing in Memphis, Tennessee in April.
Music is a great connector...a great healer...and a great joy. And it is best when shared with others! Play on!
