You’re Just A Place That I Know is a concert/theatre show hybrid conceived by JUNO-nominated singer-songwriter Adrian Glynn. Based on his song-cycle of the same name, (described as a “powerful album” by CBC’s Tom Power), You’re Just A Place That I Know traces the story of Adrian's Ukrainian grandparents and their flight from WWII Europe to finally settle in Montreal and begin life anew. The show encapsulates the album and its narrative, but goes further into probing questions of ancestry and generational connection, not just with Adrian's stories and songs, but with stories from members of the band as well. They bring their varied backgrounds and experiences into the mix, creating a powerful and multi-faceted look, through song and story, at how diverse our ancestral tapestries can be and, simultaneously, how universal the potency of our generational links is.Adrian Glynn is a Ukrainian-Canadian singer, songwriter, actor and multi-instrumentalist based on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueum and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, (AKA Vancouver). He has released more than 8 critically acclaimed albums, both as a solo artist and with folk music troupe, The Fugitives, and has been nominated for a JUNO Award and multiple Western Canadian Music Awards and Canadian Folk Music Awards.
