Glen Phillips

Glen Phillips, the beloved voice behind Toad the Wet Sprocket, brings his warm, introspective songwriting to a series of intimate venues this May. Known for his rich baritone and emotionally resonant lyrics, Phillips delivers live performances that feel like private conversations set to music — raw, honest, and deeply moving. Whether you fell in love with classics like 'Walk on the Ocean' or have followed his prolific solo career, these shows promise an unforgettable connection between artist and audience. The May 2026 tour spans four carefully chosen venues across the West Coast, each offering an up-close setting perfectly suited to Phillips' acoustic sensibility. The run kicks off Friday, May 8 at The Siren, followed by a 21+ evening at Felton Music Hall on May 9, a Sunday performance at the elegant Bankhead Theater on May 10, and culminates Saturday, May 16 at Portland's storied Mississippi Studios — a room renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate 300-person capacity. Mississippi Studios in Portland is a jewel of the Pacific Northwest music scene, beloved for transforming every performance into something truly personal. With its warm lighting, attentive crowd, and exceptional sound, it's the ideal stage for Glen Phillips to showcase his signature blend of folk-inflected alternative rock. Arrive early, find a great spot, and prepare to be swept away by one of the most gifted voices of his generation.
