WHO IS DONNA'S BOY?
Many of you may recognize the face of Donna's Boy. He is a familiar figure in television and film. Most recognizable in television as Det. Jerry Commanda on the award-winning CTV series CARDINALand in film, the Liam Neeson action-thriller, COLD PURSUIT, RHYMES FOR YOUNG GHOULS and CHARLIE ZONE. Glen is originally from the community of Membertou First Nation, Nova Scotia and left home at the age of 19 to pursue a career in Acting. Since then, he has appeared in a numerous amount of Theater, TV & Film productions throughout North America, appearing in over 50 Films & TV Shows.
In 2011 & 2012, Glen won him the prestigious David Renton Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actor at the Atlantic Film Festival in 2011 and Best Actor at the Dreamspeaker's Film Festival in 2012 for his role in the feature film CHARLIE ZONE.
Glen won Best Actor at the 2014 American Indian Motion Picture Awards in San Francisco for his role in RHYMES FOR YOUNG GHOULS and in 2015, he garnished another Best Actor win at the Red Nation Film Festival in Los Angeles for his role in the feature film NORTH MOUNTAIN.
His debut album/EP, ON THE ROAD is a very personal album for Gould, with each track telling a story of early life growing up in his Mi'kmaq community to more politicized tracks worthy of an Idle No More anthem. With a variety of horns, harmonica, fiddle and dobro this uplifting and danceable album has topped the charts of the National Aboriginal Music Countdown.
The name Donna's Boy is to honour his late mother Donna Doris (Marshall) Gould.
“Glen Gould's debut album On the Road is an honest musical expression that harkens back over a decade of this artist's life and is a nod to the parlor-band sound with a fresh edge. Each track holds a lot of heart and the album is a proud representation of Glen's cultural and regional roots.”
