It began in 1999 with a single independent spirit and a guitar. Clint Bierman founded Glenn Source Records as a home for music that didn't need a corporate filter to find its voice. Anchored by the legendary 2,500+ show legacy of The Grift, the label aims to be a benchmark for stage-tested, honest songwriting in the heart of Vermont.
In 2026, Glenn Source enters its most ambitious chapter yet. Neil Anders Matthews, a longtime friend and collaborator, has taken the helm of operations to bridge that 27-year legacy with a global future. This partnership is built on a shared belief: that independent music thrives best when it’s treated with professional precision and personal care.
At Glenn Source, we don’t just "sign" artists; we invite them into a family. Every person on our roster is a collaborator, a solo artist, and a vital piece of our community. We operate as a collective where different genres—from bluegrass-pop to 90s rock—cross-pollinate to elevate one another. By leveraging our diverse fanbases and shared expertise, we ensure that a win for one artist is a win for the entire label. We aren't just a list of names; we are a unified front of musicians lifting each other up.
From the foundation of The Grift and Clint Bierman to the award-winning storytelling of Peter Day and the rising acoustic talent of Evan Jennison, our roster represents this collaborative DNA. Whether it’s the high-octane energy of Clint Bierman's Grunge Unplugged or the unique bluegrass-pop fusion of the Neon Ramblers, every note is fueled by the collective strength of our house.
Today, Glenn Source is a full-service creative home. We’ve streamlined our catalog to be a "one-stop" resource for film, television, and custom songwriting, all while staying true to the fans who have been with us since the first chord was struck.
Honest Music. Independent Spirit. That was the promise in 1999, and under the leadership of Clint and Neil, it remains our North Star today.
