New single “Benefit of the Doubt” out now! Alternative Rock vibes for fans of Patrick Watson and Low Roar. This is one of the first songs Connor and I began recording together for the album way back in May 2024, and I’m stoked to be finally sharing it! To me it’s about growing up, family, and doubt, but maybe it will mean something different to you…

Concert + Buffet No.45 is up: Glen Casual (@connormead_ ) — the indie pop project of Connor Mead, weaving reflective songwriting with laid-back hypnotic grooves and an intimate vocal presence that feels almost like an inner voice.
Built on subtle grooves and warm tones, his music carries a quiet weight that reveals itself over time — understated on the surface, but deeply felt as it settles in. It’s the kind of sound that doesn’t demand attention, but slowly draws you in, where every groove, every line, and every pause lands a little deeper.
This isn’t your typical live show. Think of it like Vancouver’s version of NPR’s Tiny Desk: an intimate, after-hours concert inside a closed restaurant. The entire space transforms into a private listening room where every lyric, every harmony, and every swell becomes part of a live one-take recording.
And yes — your ticket includes a late-night buffet to make the night even better.
📅 Wed, April 15th, 9:30 PM
🕤 9:30 PM (check-in & buffet begin at 9:00 PM)
📍 Hestia Kitchen + Bar
🎟 $33 (buffet included, 60 limited seats)
Join us for a midweek reset — understated, hypnotic, and easy to sink into.
🎟 Ticket link in bio. See you there? 🌙

Glen Casual is the soulful indie pop project of Vancouver musician Connor Mead. His songs explore self-reflection through moments of change, tracing the beauty and ache of love found and lost. After years in projects like Fox Who Slept the Day Away and Handmade, Connor began self-producing and releasing music as Glen Casual — a deeply personal space where vulnerability meets groove.

Made a lil beat today, wanted to do the ol challenge where I don’t use any real instruments and try to make things feel human still. I’ll try making a lil thing every week for the next while. There’s 2 other sections to this song but this is what you get (hehe)
