Well, I'm really looking forward to the next few months. I'll be opening for my good friends, ESE, at the Continental Club in September. I met them at the Houston Press Music Awards Showcase when I played before them at the 306 Lounge, and this band is absolutely talented. Not only do I think so, but one Houston Press critic called them the best act in the entire showcase and KPFT selected them for a special on-air post-showcase appearance! I'm not really sure how to describe their music--it's been called everything from "punk" to "psychobilly" to "rock 'n' roll." So check them out on myspace.com to decide for yourself. And there are so many shows coming up, I've barely been able to find time to get them on my Web site and myspace page! I'll be playing Houston, Austin, and Dallas/Denton in August, September, and October--so take a look at the glennabell.com calendar page, and y'all come. The best part about the gigs is truly the people who turn up and enjoy themselves. I've also got a feature in the Houston Chronicle coming up on August 25--it was fun having them out at my last Cosmos Cafe show for the interview/photo shoot when I opened for Two Hoots and a Holler, a great band you may have heard of 'cause they've been getting a lot of good press lately in Texas Music magazine, etc. They hail from Austin and go way back in the scene, having played everything from standard country to punk all over the place with the best-of-the-best. Besides all that, there's a reality tv show in the making. Check out Johnny Rodes Road Show on the Web. I'll be kicking off the Houston location shoot at Cosmos Cafe on October 6, and it will be my first tv appearance, besides a commercial that featured my jingle called "Cosmos Cafe." And the best part of all is tomorrow and the next day, when I'll be recording one of my brand new songs over at Sugar Hill Studios with John Evans producing and Brad Jones on upright bass (again). This one's going to be a knock-out, and it's called "Be My Valentine (On Christmas)." Just you wait and see (or should I say "hear") . . . Until next time, Glenna Bell
