Today, on the Sailor Jimmy Podcast, we are joined by Debbie Glenn, a good friend of the podcast and the owner of The Red Brick Tavern in Conroe, Texas. A true foodie destination located at the heart of downtown Conroe, The Red Brick Tavern offers stellar live music performances, comfort food, and craft beer. Join us as we chew the fat about old-school country music and learn more about the first annual 11-11 Music Festival, organized by Debbie and her band, Southern Disposition, and benefitting non-profit organizations like Boots for Troops, Raising a Hand for Rett, and others. We also have some friendly disagreements about our favorite sports teams and emphasize the importance of giving back to our communities. Debbie believes that your contributions to society are what you’ll be remembered for in this life, and when you get involved in an organization you truly believe in, giving back will never feel like work. Make sure you don’t miss today’s episode for all this and so much more!

“It’s no secret that it’s hard for women in the [music] business, but you know what? It just makes you work harder, and when you do shine, you shine brighter.” — Debbie Glenn [0:08:11]

“I love giving back. I believe it’s what you leave in this life that you will be remembered by.” — Debbie Glenn [0:18:20]
