Glorious Leader is the solo avenue of American musician, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Kyle Woolard. Conceived and recorded in the woods of Vermont’s remote Northeast Kingdom, the music is an attempt at uncompromising honesty. It is a quest for simplicity. It is a celebration of humanity, of the far north, of the infinite shades between joy and sorrow, of wood stoves and whiteouts. 

The music is a reflection of the Northeast Kingdom — an aural representation of its slender dirt roads, sparkling lakes, peeling wooden farmsteads, maple sugaring houses, stark mountains, and 6 to 8 months of snowfall. 

Woolard is also the leader of orchestral post-rock band The Anatomy of Frank, which seeks to record an album for/on every continent. He has toured over 2 dozen times in North America and Europe and has released 3 full-length albums.
