Glen Phillips (of Toad the Wet Sprocket)
2026-02-23 19:00 - 21:00 | MN
“a decidedly melodic approach, an effortlessly engaging sound” – American Songwriter

Glen Phillips has spent almost forty years as lead singer and main songwriter of Toad the Wet Sprocket. There, he helped create the band’s elegant folk/pop sound with honest, introspective lyrics that forged a close bond with fans. Alongside his work with Toad, Glen has released acclaimed solo albums and collaborated on side projects. For example, Mutual Admiration Society (with members of Nickel Creek) and the experimental Remote Tree Children.
“I’ve been playing a songwriting game with Texas folk singer Matt The Electrician for about ten years,” Glen says. “Every Friday, he sends out a title. We have a week to write a song that includes it. The process allows me to write songs I wouldn’t write on my own. I’m always surprised at what comes out.” That sense of curiosity and play continues to fuel his creative life.
2025 was a very full year of music. Glen played to packed solo shows across the U.S. and toured the Rockies with John Craigie. Then, he hit the road with Toad the Wet Sprocket for a massive summer tour. This fall he toured the UK with Colin Hay. Also, in October he hosted his first-ever European river cruise on the Danube, traveling from Budapest to Nuremberg.
Looking ahead, Glen plans to begin work on a new solo album in 2026. “I’ll be spending this year writing new material for both Toad and solo projects. There’s also an acoustic Toad album coming out, as well as a side project solo collection of songs. Between that and touring, I’ll be plenty busy.”
Recommended for fans of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Edwin McCain, Gin Blossoms and Better Than Ezra.
