You might want to rethink your plans for this Friday the 13th. That is, if you don’t already have your tickets for what is promising to be Seattle’s most unique and mesmerizing guitar-centered show of the year. On this ominous September 13th, guitar virtuosos Al Nesbitt and Tony Abreu and their all-star bands will sweep up the patrons of Madame Lou’s, Seattle’s iconic Belltown music venue, in a one-night-only, genre-bending and mood-shifting musical experience that could only happen on Friday the 13th.

Al Nesbitt is an inventive guitarist and songwriter whose compositions share an almost cinematic feel fueled by his fiery, virtuoso playing. In fact, Nesbitt’s recent release, A Million Shiny Things, plays like a movie soundtrack. The compositions and concept were inspired by events and the folklore that surrounds L.A.’s famed Chateau Marmont, a hotel where curious visitors are mysteriously lured to see where comedian John Belushi died and to get close to the notorious secret location for the illicit affairs of notable Hollywood stars. Still open today, the 93-year-old ominous castle-like structure and surrounding bungalows have been a hideout and hip hangout for Hollywood celebrities since the 1920s. Nesbitt sets it to music. It’s hard to get more macabre and grisly than that.
