Glen Erickson - Vice President

Glen Erickson has been involved in the Edmonton music community since 1997. He is currently a member of Indie Recording Act,The Wheat Pool, a local alt-country band which has received significant critical acclaim.

Erickson began booking and promoting local and touring bands in the latter 90’s as a joint venture with youth and teen outreach programs. He spent some time in artist management as well.

In early 2002, Glen formed his independent recording label, Shameless Records Canada, as a hobby. It was a formal means to accomplish things he was already doing, assisting local independent talent in organizing their careers and the recording/manufacturing of their music. This hobby has developed into a full business venture over the years, with 23 releases in the catalogue by a dozen different artists/bands.

Erickson is graphic designer by trade and has worked over the past years with two different local media companies before moving to a freelance business in early 2008. Much of his design time is spent with the local music community designing packaging and website/promotional needs.

Glen Erickson has been a director on the Alberta Music Board since 2008 and Vice-president since 2009.
