biographical info
As an artist, Glennis Houston has defined the triple threat of vocalists; pleasure, passion and prowess, which she clearly demonstrates on her debut CD, Lies of Handsome Men. The 2004 release received airplay on CBC, CJSW, CKUA, and other Western Canadian, U.S. and European radio and internet stations. Reviewers have handed Glennis a place among the most acclaimed in her field, calling her "a marvelously talented vocalist with great tone, focus and range" (Keith Hannaleck), displayed by her "warm, rich, emotive vocals over 13 playfully sensual songs" (Mike Bell). A shining achievement for her and a gem for her listeners, as another review interprets, "The bluesy, relaxed mood suits her voice and she can hold those notes with an intense yearning that I find entirely pleasurable." (Paul Donnelly)
The searching, nurturing, experimenting and challenging herself has brought Glennis to a place where she is truly comfortable in her own skin as an artist, respected by her peers and cheered by her fans. It's this combination that inspires her passionate, vivacious performances which bring both the singer and her audience a treasured, sought after reward in every song.
