I watch Parenthood every week, and was pleasantly surprised when Glen showed up as a guest star tonight! :D
He played himself, a musician who was recording at the Luncheonette, a recording studio in the Haight Ashbury region of San Francisco, which is owned by two of the brothers on the show. Not only did he have a small speaking role, but he also sang a beautiful song towards the end of the show.

Great job, Glen!! :clap::clap:

    I have to say... I've been lucky enough to see him play (with some other dude) twice in the last month... and I've become a BIG fan of Glen. Obviously he's got a gift... but he comes across as an altogether beautiful human. Good for him... I hope he gets more and more opportunities to share his gift with the masses.

    I have seen an episode here and there, but made sure to tune in after Glen had posted on his FB that he would be on the show tonight. Really love that song High Hope. :)

    It was a nice surprise to see Glen on the show last night. I remember last season "Supersonic" made an appearance during an episode, and Fistful of Mercy was on the show too. Great show with amazing music!

    I saw this as well. My wife and I watch that show every week. The song was "High Hope" from Glen's latest record and it fit really well with the overall theme of the episode.

    They also used Falling Slowly to promote some episodes from season 3.

    no question thats true. He's just a regular guy. Struggled in relative obscurity for maybe 15 years, although The Frames were big in the UK, and then Once came out and it changed everything for him. Quite an interesting guy. His story of meeting Van Morrison as a kid is facinating. Theres such great music in ireland, with his friend Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan as well.

    Everytime I see him live, I think that everyone should see him once, people have no idea what they're missing... but at the same time, I'm glad he's not a huge megastar. I want to keep him a secret!
