Jody Glenham
For nearly two decades, Jody Glenham has been a notable presence in western Canada’s music scene. Her 2020 album, Mood Rock, garnered support from several CBC programs, with the track “Talking Out Loud” receiving airplay on Rich Terfry’s The Drive. Mood Rock also charted in the Top 50 on Canadian college radio, was praised by KEXP in Seattle, and considered for the Polaris long list.
Jody’s music captures an essence of hope, and with a delicate yet authoritative presence, it grants listeners the profound permission to feel. This has led to her songs being featured in Netflix shows like Tiny Pretty Things and My Life with The Walter Boys, as well as Snowpiercer. Her work has been praised by outlets like NME, American Songwriter, and Refinery29.
Now, Jody is self-producing her latest solo EP, Still Here, led by the single The Local. The song offers a poignant reflection on persistence, blending themes of melancholy, resignation, and fading ambition. It explores the acceptance of imperfections, while highlighting resilience through community, connection, and small comforts. Ultimately, The Local is about endurance. Jody Glenham remains, weathering life’s storms, carrying the weight of time, and finding meaning in simply being present.
