Next week I’ll be playing in NYC on Thursday, February 10, at 9:30 p.m.—this time at Googies Lounge on the Lower East Side, which is an intimate listening space situated above The Living Room at 154 Ludlow Street, where I first appeared in November. I’ll be joined again by Jeff Eyrich on upright bass, and this time Steve Kirkman will be accompanying me on slide guitar: http://www.livingroomny.com/googies
Jeff Eyrich has recorded and toured with Tim Buckley, John Cale, Bette Midler, Dave’s True Story, and currently with Lipbone Redding. His production credits include work with T Bone Burnett, The Blasters, and The Plimsouls: http://AlbumCredits.com/pro/JeffEyrich
Steve Kirkman, whose talent is well known in the area, is a member of the Hudson Valley group, Hope Machine, as well as playing with Pete Seeger, Red Molly, Kelly Flint and Anthony DaCosta. His sound recalls guitarists such as Ry Cooder and Marc Ribot.: http://www.stevekirkman.com/
If you live in New York or know people who do, please help me spread the word on Facebook or by forwarding this email. Many thanks to those who thought to do that in November when I debuted at the Living Room. It worked—the turnout was strong enough to be invited back.
Y’all come!
A note from my publicist, Mark Pucci:
“Reviews of Glenna’s new CD have been nothing less than stellar. Noted UK magazine, Maverick, said in its 4 ½ star review of the new CD: ‘Glenna Bell's acoustic folk-country canon is oddly different, almost addictive.’ The Houston Chronicle said of her songs: ‘Efficiency is the key to Bell’s music, both in her writing and in her vocals. Once you hear just a few of her songs, it’s impossible to shake the feelings they evoke.’ In a review of her last Living Room show, The Bluegrass Special stated: ‘…between-songs patter and her lyrics bespeak a writer’s focus on narrative integrity: all the pieces fit and make sense…Onstage she evinces the charming, unself-conscious seductive quality of a woman whose down-home manner isn’t a pose she’s affected as a show-biz gimmick but rather is simply who she is.’ And perhaps Country Music People said it best when it declared, ‘Anyone who cares about the past and future of country music should buy this incredible disc.’”
Oh, and there’s also a really great new Q&A in Songfacts with pictures, video, and audio. Check it out at http://www.songfacts.com/blog/writing/glenna_bell/
