Don McGlashan is a revered New Zealand musician, songwriter, and composer, widely acclaimed for his ability to intertwine poetically rich lyrics with evocative melodies. Born in Auckland, he first rose to prominence in the 1980s as the frontman of the seminal Kiwi band The Mutton Birds. The group's mix of alternative rock and pop, infused with a distinct New Zealand touch, brought them critical recognition both at home and abroad, with McGlashan's masterful songwriting at the helm.

After The Mutton Birds disbanded in the early 2000s, McGlashan embarked on a successful solo career that further cemented his status as one of New Zealand's most esteemed musical talents. His solo albums, including "Warm Hand," "Marvellous Year," and the more contemplative "Lucky Stars," showcase his depth as an artist and continue to garner both public and critical praise. In addition to his work with bands and his solo endeavors, McGlashan has also made significant contributions to film, composing soundtracks for movies such as "Dean Spanley" and "An Angel at My Table." With a catalogue that spans across different mediums and genres, Don McGlashan's artistry remains an influential and enduring force in the landscape of New Zealand music.
