Blue Rodeo's Glenn Milchem joins Aaron Goldstein, Anna Ruddick and Ian Blurton in the new heavy rock project Ian Blurton's Future Now.

"Some of you may remember the metal trio without a name I posted about a few months back. Now we’re a quartet and we’re called Ian Blurton’s Future Now. We are a young mom, two dudes with beards and a nerd and we are heavy AF. We will be playing our debut show New Year’s Eve at the Bovine Sex Club with Organ Thieves and Anti Queens." – Glenn Milchem
