Mindi Abair has been working on a new book, entitled How To Play Madison Square Garden, for a few years now co-writing it with her father and their friend Ross Cooper. According to Abair, “it's the culmination of a lot of years of experience being on stage and learning what works and what doesn't. I've made every mistake "in the book", and I thought I'd condense what I know and have learned from these experiences in written form. So whether you want to become the next pop goddess or just give a better speech in front of your co-workers, this book will have some cool insight into the world of how to develop your own stage presence, find what makes you special and sets you apart as an artist, fight stage fright, communicate with your audience, and even includes some fun stories by a few tried and true rock stars who have performed on the Madison Square Garden Stage.”Music-wise you can catch Mindi Abair on stage at any one of the following venues:
