Join us tonight for Penny Hill + Matt Gabriel!

 
On Thursday, October 21 at 6:00pm the Playhouse Performers Series welcomes singer-songwriters Penny Hill and Matt Gabriel. Children will have a chance to sing and play along with two talented musicians, both happy to be back in Michigan.

Penny Hill is a folk-rock wonder. She has only been playing for two years but already people are asking for the next album. She's played music festivals, coffee shops, libraries and meadows. A former student at Hope College, she's back in Michigan on tour from Oklahoma. On Friday, October 22 she shares the stage with Bella Ruse and Daniel & the Lion at Lemonjello's Coffee, a proud Playhouse Performers Series sponsor. Her debut album, "Unbutton Your Heart" will be available for purchase.

Matt Gabriel wrote his first solo album "Embrace the Change," after moving from West Michigan to Seattle, Washington in 2008. Spending the next two years in Fort Collins, Colorado, he recently finished writing his sophomore album, “People and Places,” which is due to come out at the end of the year. He moved home to record it in the comfort of his home in the Grand Rapids area. Now a 22 year old singer/songwriter, he's ready to show his hometown what he's been working on for the past three years out west. “I'm very happy to be able to call myself a local again,” says Gabriel. “It's been a while since I could do that.”

Come enjoy Penny Hill and Matt Gabriel's performance in the vibrant play environment of Deanna's Playhouse and treat yourself to complimentary Lemonjello's Coffee. The performance will take place in the play area itself, which will be open for children and parents to enjoy all that Deanna’s Playhouse has to offer throughout the musical event.

Admission: $3 per person, children under 1 free, and all members free! For more information, including how to book yourself as a Playhouse Performer, please visit our website: www.playhouseperformers.com.
