Bio

Glenn Robertson is from Spencer, Massachusetts. From a very young age, Glenn had a passion for drumming and rhythm. At the age of 4 he started honing his craft by playing on a cheap Sears drum set and mimicking Simon Philips on Pete Townshend's Live From the Deep End on the then-new VHS. During his high school years, Glenn won many awards and accolades and decided he should pursue music even further.

In the fall of 2000, Glenn went on to study at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. There, Glenn was fortunate enough to be instructed by three of the most influential people in his life: world-renowned clinicians and artists Thom Hannum, Eduardo Leandro, and Bob Gullotti. Glenn earned his degree in 2005. During his college years, he was rewarded with the International Association of Jazz Educators Outstanding Musician Award and three Down Beat Magazine Awards.

In 2004, Vic Firth recognized Glenn's talents as an up-and-coming artist/educator and offered him an endorsement deal. Smith Drum Company and Samson Technologies were the next to follow and also added Glenn to their artist roster in 2005.

As of September 2006, Glenn has relocated to New York City. Since the big move, Glenn has been fortunate enough to share the stage with musicians such as Javier Colon, Richie Cannata, Janek Gwizdala, Chrissi Poland, and American Idol finalist Brenna Gethers.

Glenn has shared the stage with such groups as George Clinton and the 420 Funk Mob, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Stefon Harris, Russ Gershon, as well as Ernie Watts, Adam Kolker, and Jeff Holmes. Glenn's comprehensive musical talent can be heard on his past recordings with The Missing Lance Project, Spirit House Records recording artist Barry Kingston and the Screaming Souls, and NYC's newest rock act Uncle Pumpkin as well as LP's Conga Head website with Latin Jazz group, The Damon Grant Project. Glenn has also been fortunate enough to drum in the Presidential Inaugurations for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, and the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Glenn is currently involved in several musical projects including Uncle Pumpkin and the American Music Award-winning Bomb Squad.
