Another musical artist is coming to The Gog March 19.
Regina-based folk-rocker Glenn Sutter will perform beginning at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $20.
The performance is part of Sutter’s tour for his new album Let The Dogs Run, which was released Nov. 20.
According to Sutter, this is his third solo album. Prior to this one he had been spending the last few years performing and touring and writing a batch of new songs.
This latest album includes a wider range of styles than his other projects have, including blues and more piano.
According to his media release, it is a mix of “straight-ahead rockers, acoustic tunes and piano ballads.” They range from “reflections on worldly concerns to insights about personal resilience, through themes of renewal and restoration, trials and tribulations, and the importance of gratitude.”
Many of the songs have environmentally-based themes with Earth Day approaching. One of them is called Green Fire, which is inspired by the story Killing the Wolf by Aldo Leopold. It revolves around the hunting experience that caused Leopold to look at the world around him differently, with renewed respect for wildlife.
The opening track is called Already Home, which tells its story metaphorically as it speaks to appreciating where one is in life.
The title track, Let the Dog Run, speaks to the joy and energy of a free-running dog, but also speaks to unleashing one’s dreams
Sutter himself holds a PhD in biology and has been Curator of Human Ecology at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.
His work has taken him to wilderness areas and communities around Saskatchewan and he has written often on environmental issues. For those reasons, Sutter’s tunes most often reflect his own personal insights and experiences.
