What better way to introduce Glenn than with the title track from his new CD...
"From the Board Room to the Bar Room"Not only a great performance of a great "instant classic" country song, It is also a musical autobiography of his journey into country music.... Says Glenn "In my hometown, there were two choices....sign on at the factory or put on a shirt and tie and hope the bank manager is hiring". The shirt and tie worked and he was on his way up the corporate ladder headed for the boardroom. "You only go around once, in this life, so you'd better make sure you're happy with it". After 22 years of climbing the corporate ladder.......
"that's when I decided it was time for a change."so I packed up the family, and
".....We hit the road 'til the money ran out."A year on the road brought his childhood dream of country music 'alive'.
"Gave up deadlines for singin' hook lines".....Picking up his guitar, Glenn set out on his musical journey....He's played and sung to audiences in such diverse places as railroad trains, country bars, festivals, country dance events, and now country radio listeners everywhere are enjoying tracks from his debut album. In fact, wherever there's country music, there's Glenn Fournier.
"I love to sing and play guitar and write a song or two,....."I couldn't agree more," says Glenn, "These words reflect my bottom line rather than the corporate one. I like 'this' Glenn Fournier much better."
When you love what it is you do, you just cannot lose."
The release of Glenn's new CD "FROM THE BOARD ROOM TO THE BAR ROOM" came about as a result of listeners' upbeat response to two singles that were released to country radio worldwide. After almost two years they are still riding high on many of these stations playlists. Alas, the singles were not available for sale but patience brings its own reward and with this new CD of country songs, performed in his own inimitable style, Glenn will more than satisfy his country music fans everywhere.
Apart from the country "classic" ALMOST PERSUADED all the tracks are original songs some of which are destined to become "classics" in their own right. From the "Honky Tonk" feel of BUSTED LOVE through the acoustic sounds of SWEET LOVING DADDY to the country waltz NOT ONE BUT TWO country music lovers will need no convincing to put this album at the top of their 'shopping list'.
