Duluth-based Americana singer-songwriter Grant Glad transforms the day-to-day struggle of American living into foot-stomping, full-hearted anthems about chasing dreams and dancing while you do it. His new record, <i>One Man’s Story</i>, is a concept album telling the tale of an everyday Midwestern man’s life in eight songs. The main character is an amalgam of the men Glad grew up with in Minnesota. At times twangy, at times funky,  Glad’s music stretches the boundaries of several genres to produce something entirely new: songs that offer the loose, raw spirit of punk rock, the bold, driving rhythms of roots rock-and-roll, and the rich sense of personal history that makes classic country forever relevant.
