Glenda Paxton shines and radiates a warmth that you can feel in her strong, live performances. Her thought-provoking song writing dips into peoples’ hearts and lives with such a sweet compassion! If she had come close to championing another career, it would have been in the field of psychology. She chose, instead, to do what she loves most in creating music for the hearts. Still, she is careful as she reveals the compelling truths within each story she tells.

Having one brother older, and, as the eldest girl in a family of six children, Glenda was the beloved caregiver of four younger siblings. Drama classes propelled her onto stages everywhere and especially those of competitive festivals, mostly capturing the gold wherever she appeared. With classical training in piano from four years of age, she was a natural in her parent’s dance band at eleven. Learning to ‘wing it’ in these incredibly rhythmic surroundings, she became the bands’ music arranger in her teens.

Later, on the stages of Sweden and Denmark, this outrageous rhythmic feel would ignite her concert goers. Unable to resist, they would be on their feet before they knew it, dancing and singing. They believed that she was one of their own with her long, blonde hair tossing and mischievous blue eyes sparkling in the stage lights.

Glenda brings true and unique influences from her background heritages of English, Irish, Scottish and Pennsylvanian Dutch. With eclectic taste in music and dabbling in many genres, her soulful voice is an explosion of pure, unadulterated joy.

Audience favourites include -

‘An Ordinary Man’, a high-powered tribute to Terry Fox

‘Baby Don’t Go’, a bluesy cry-out

‘Never Seen a Love’, hard truths of the heart with a spiritual focus

‘Monarch Ten’, a children’s song; tracking the innocent, but, euphoric adventures of a brave butterfly, on his treacherous journey to the rainforest.

Glenda tours as a solo artist as well as with international bands. This girl loves to wander the world and soak up new cultures, apparent in her gifted song writing. Excursions in Spain, Germany, Norway, France and Holland, to name a few, have greatly influenced her music. This acclaimed talent treasures her global career as well as her teaching, writing and composing. All of which she does with electric force bringing other souls alongside her exuberance. Her stage presence, captivating lyrics and engaging melodies are a delight to experience, wherever you see her. And, she’s coming to a city near you.
