On a Inconspicuous street located on the south side of Storm Valley lives an anti- Hero by the name of Relly Santiago aka The Postman. Being a hip hop artist by day, the dishonest music industry leads the Postman on his own agendas. The half cyborg rap phenom has a knack for overthrowing the industry rules and standards. Guided by his intelligent brother Christobal The Vision he seeks revenge in the favor of the nobody’s. On a Friday night trouble is brewing on the south side. Political ties leads the Postman down a path of anger and destruction! A knock at the door begins the night of terror. “Who is it?” Relly responds “It’s your cousin Boom!” Boom rarely comes out at a time like this so the postman knew it was trouble! “Come in” he announces. Boom entered the house with a face of disappointment. “Somebody hit my Cafe around 7:30 pm”....

Where are you from and could you tell us a little about your upbringing?
Hi I'm Glen Foster and I was born and raised in Southern Ontario, Canada. I grew up on a farm and being a child of the 60's I took lessons on Spanish Guitar and Hawaiian Steel guitar.
Whats your favorite genre of music to make and what inspires you to create?
I'm an artist who admittedly is hard to pigeon hole. I have released 10 full length albums of my own compositions and genres range from country and folk through rock and pop, with shades of jazz, classical and experimental music. I place a lot of emphasis on harmony vocals and strong rhythm guitar which is evident in my live performances.
People, places, beauty, art and happenings inspire me to compose music and pen lyrics. Success itself can be a tremendous motivator and inspiration for me to be the very best I can be.
Could you tell us about your latest project?
Currently I'm promoting my album The Spirit OfChristmas which features a song with the same title. It was released in 2021 and being a holiday favorite it gains momentum every year. The song itself was first released as a 45 rpm single on Red Vinyl in 1986 and received strong acceptance in Canada where it was mainly promoted. Re-released in 2011 for its 25 year anniversary, it gained more momentum and gets a little boost every year.
Who are some of your favorite musical influences?
Vocal groups - Beach Boys, Four Seasons, CSNY. Guitar heroes - Hendrix, Clapton, Setzer, Chet Atkins. Songwriters - Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty.
Are there any notable people that helped you along the way?
When I started playing professionally I was lead guitarist and singer with Ray Materick who had hit records in the 1970s. I worked with Daniel Lanois on my first album 'Walk Into The Mirror', and Bob Doidge producer/engineer for Gordon Lightfoot and many others in Hamilton, Ontario.
In promotions I've had great help and support from Eric Alper, Darryl Sterdan and Sandy Graham.
What does Christmas mean to you?
Christmas to me means Family & Loved Ones, Peace and Kindness, Giving & Sharing,Music, and Beginning a new year.
What is your favorite holiday movie?
Scrooged with Bill Murray, and a close second is A Christmas Story.
Besides music what are your hobbies and fun things you like to do?
Living in Canada we love the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, swimming, kayak paddling in Summer...skiing, toboggans, shovelling snow in Winter. I'm also an avid reader and love watching great movies.
Are there any changes you would like to see in the music industry?
Where do I start? You have to accept progress but when that starts to look like going backwards you gotta wonder. There is so much more that can be done at Legislative levels to support fair royalty payments for artists, and larger shares for music creators - I'd like to see that!
What can we expect from you in the near future?
This year I released my 10th album 'Unnatural Tendencies' and I am still playing concerts and promoting that project. So next year you'll see more live performances, short tours and festival appearances. I also plan to make a few music videos for some of my back catalogue. I may release another single or two next year and have also started writing a science fiction novel that I'm very excited about.
Any last remarks
I hope everyone enjoys my Christmas music and I'd like to thank the fine folks at Flyah Music Magazine for giving me, and other artists an opportunity to be heard. Please support Live Music and the Musicians who deliver it. Tell your friends how much they mean to you and have a Merry Christmas.

After Boom and Postman arrived at Bobby’s restaurant they noticed something unusual. The back door that leads to the kitchen had been Pried open leaving boom and Post with a look of concern. Before they could set the fire, they had to make sure the restaurant was vacant. Just as expected, they over heard a voice inside the restaurant talking to someone on a cellphone. “I don’t know where he keeps the safe boss”. The man spoke. With the phone being on speaker, Rellz and Boom recognized the voice. “You keep searching!” Said the familiar voice. At that moment they knew the criminal was working for Tony’s brother Frankie Pachino. Frankie spoke again saying. “We need Tony to blame Boom for this. W e robbed Boom’s Cafe earlier today, and to me it wasn’t enough! With Tony’s cousin being robbed, he will d...
"Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you from the first bluesy heartbeat of the intro and doesn’t let go. In an era where you can tune out with a tap, this song pulls you in with a vibe that feels both nostalgic and boldly forward-looking. The bluesy riffs ring out right away, setting a space where the listener can settle in and brace for a story that feels big, like a page from a graphic novel that’s about to come alive. The songwriting here is something to applaud. It’s got that old-school flavor—the kind of thing your parents might hum along to—mixed with a futuristic spark that hints at adventures not yet lived. It’s as if the track invites you to step into a time-warped alley where the streetlights flicker with neon possibilities. Astrology gets a wink and a nod, painting a portrait of a young renegade who’s more superhero than stereotype. It’s a mission—mighty and personal at once—to remind us that youth has a voice, and when it finds its rhythm, it can...
