Glorious Leader

Like the late author Howard Frank Mosher, Glover resident and musician Kyle Woolard finds ample artistic inspiration in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Recording and performing under the name Glorious Leader, Woolard, who sings and plays guitar in the indie band the Anatomy of Frank, released My Kingdom, his first solo EP, earlier this month. “The music is a reflection of the Northeast Kingdom,” he explains in an email, “an aural representation of its slender dirt roads, sparkling lakes, peeling wooden farmsteads, maple sugaring houses, cold mountains, warm people and six to eight months of snowfall.” Acoustic guitar in hand, Woolard introduces his songs to a Greensboro audience alongside violinists Roy MacNeil and Nikki Kim, pianist Grant Woolard, and vocalist Holly Lillis.
