"'Waiting for the Glaciers to Melt' is a soul-filled musical autobiography from actor, singer,
Brian Lane Green. Originally written as a musical and first produced on stage at the Midtown International Theater Festival (NYC), the music has been revisited and re-shaped for this incarnation. Producer
Johnny Rodgers and the
Johnny Rodgers Band deliver an eclectic blend of styles, always staying true to Brian's southern roots," state press notes.
"Now, with 'Waiting for the Glaciers to Melt,' songwriter Green becomes a
man with a mission. He takes the listener on a journey from growing up
in the hills of Tennessee, through the spectrum of emotion that
accompanies a life lived: fear, isolation, joy, and ultimately peace."
Green has made his name as a soap star ("Days of Our Lives," "Another World", "All My Children"), as an actor in the indie films
Circuit and
Friends and Family, and as a Tony Award-nominated Broadway star who has appeared in
The Life, Starmites and
Big River.Green's second solo CD is his first as singer/songwriter. His previous CD "
Brian Lane Green" and his new release are both available online at
