Day 214 - Active Hope with Glen Phillips

On today’s episode of Dystopia Tonight we welcome the triumphant return of Glen Phillips! With a career spanning over three decades as the lead singer and songwriter of the legendary alt rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket, Glen has solidified his status as an icon to generations of fans both old and new.   Coming off his newest solo album “There Is So Much Here” Glen effortlessly breaks down the walls we’ve put up by mining our hearts and minds for the love and gratitude we lost these past few years.   It's clear that for Phillips, music isn't just a profession - it's a way of life. With humor, honesty, and a deep love for his craft, Glen shares his insights on the importance of staying connected with fans, the challenges of making a living as an artist, and the power of music to bring people together in times of hardship.   Website: https://glenphillips.com/   After two appearances on Dystopia Tonight and my annual benefit for the National MS society’s fight to end MS I’ve had the pleasure of being a first hand witness to the deep and abiding connection Glen has to his fans and they to him. Affectionately referred to as his Squirrel Family, I couldn't help but feel the palpable love and gratitude in the air. And that's what makes him a true icon - his ability to unite people through the power of music.   So if you haven't yet experienced the magic of Glen Phillips, now's the time to do so. With Toad The Wet Sprocket back on tour, there's no better opportunity to catch him live and join the Squirrel Family. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
