A Storytelling Concert
GLENN
“The Things We Don't Speak About”
A storytelling concert born on the day Erik Sjøholm came into the world — and his uncle Glenn left it.
The Show
Imagine a world blanketed in snow, where light and darkness dance on the edge of silence. That is where Erik Sjøholm was born — and on that very day, his uncle Glenn took his own life, leaving behind a legacy of grief, questions, and unspoken stories.
In this storytelling concert, Erik digs beneath the snow and ice, uncovering fragments of his family's unspoken mythology. Through raw personal stories and original songs — in the tradition of Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, and Jeff Buckley — he takes you on a journey into the heart of loss, self-discovery, and the search for meaning.
Grief and Loss
