Hey, Everybody. Some of you have asked when I'll be playing again in Houston, and as promised -- I am letting you know: This Tuesday (October 27) from 8-10 p.m., I'll be at one of Houston's landmark venues, Avant Garden (formerly Helios), in the Montrose district at 411 Westheimer in the quaint old two-story house on the corner of Taft. I'm really looking forward to sharing the evening with Matt McDonald, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in Downtown Houston when he'd recently moved here after working in the recording industry in NYC. Matt is a talented musician and has been forging his way in the Houston scene as a singer-songwriter on the rise. We'll be doing two sets each, and we may even pull off a duet as the grand finale. I'll also debut some of the songs from my forthcoming release that I've been recording this year up in Pennsylvania, so all of this will be sure to make for a great show and we're hoping for a strong turnout, so please help us spread the word if you can. Admission is only $5, too. Can't beat that these days. Houstonians: "If you haven't checked out Avant Garden, you need to find out why it's one of Houston's most unique nightspots. A great outdoor garden patio with tall, mature trees - both out back and in front - surround one of Houston's oldest homes in the heart of Montrose. Full bars both upstairs and downstairs, excellent coffee drinks, nightly specials including $2 LONE STAR AND SHINER DRAFTS and wonderful home-made infusions of teas, liquers and botanicals delight the senses." Preview Avant Garden at http://www.avantgardenhouston.com and some of Matt's music at http://www.myspace.com/mattmcdonaldsmusic and y'all come! AND I'll also be entertaining at the Pinemont Campus of Houston Community College on the evening of November 5 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. for the big CAFE (Cultural Arts for Everyone) fine arts gala that will feature readings by the winners of the school's annual CAFE Writing Contest. This event is catered, free and open to the public, and there are more details posted on my Web site at http://www.glennabell.com Thanks for reading, my dear friend in music. Now, go and have yourself a really good day!
