Support local music with Sin City Social Club

GLEN CAMPBELL’S NEW ALBUM, ‘MEET GLEN CAMPBELL,’ IS FINALLY HERE!

I can’t stop listening to this record and wake up daily with another song in my head. It truly is inspiring to hear Glens interpretations of these great songs, his VOICE is so strong and the production is mind blowing...

We can’t get you into the Troubadour show since it is SOLD OUT so I hope you already have your tickets...but we CAN set you up with something really bad ass regardless of where you live!
We’ve got 10 autographed copies of the album + Legacy 1961 – 2002 (Glen Campbell Box Set) courtesy of Capitol Records to give away to a few lucky Sin City Social Club members! (details below)

Read on my friends!

In a legendary music career that spans more than five decades, Glen Campbell has achieved chart-topping, platinum-selling pop and country success singing everyday tales of life, love, work and heartache. For Meet Glen Campbell, his inspired, dynamic new studio album, the music icon has returned to his longtime label home, Capitol Records.

For his new album, Glen Campbell has reinterpreted and re-imagined both older and contemporary songs with his own signature vocal and guitar arrangements. A true musician’s musician, Campbell’s distinct guitar playing, along with the clarity and emotion of his powerful vocal performance, come together to give new life to the songs he selected for Meet Glen Campbell.

The influential singer, guitarist and stylist, who has long made others’ songs his own, is doing it again, recording high-spirited, emotionally charged versions of tracks that have personally moved and inspired him. Campbell’s intimate performances convey an autobiographical and deeply personal connection to the album’s songs, which include Travis’ “Sing,” Tom Petty’s “Angel Dream” and “Walls,” The Replacements’ “Sadly Beautiful,” U2’s “All I Want Is You,” The Velvet Underground’s “Jesus,” and Jackson Browne’s “These Days,” among others. Meet Glen Campbell begins an exciting new chapter in the 50-year career of one of America’s most beloved musical icons.
