MONICA PASQUAL AND THE HANDSOME BRUNETTES
The evening will be a celebration of the release of Pasqual's
Independent Music Award winning album, "You Can't Kill Light" of which
critic Derk Richardson wrote: "Known for two decades as a member of
BLAME SALLY, Bay Area folk-pop singer-songwriter MONICA PASQUAL
ECLIPSES MUCH OF HER PREVIOUS RECORDED WORK WITH THIS, her sixth solo
album....The now driving, now dreamy folk-rock and electro-pop
settings are conjured from Pasqual’s piano, keyboards, and
percussion, Lewis’s guitars, bass, drum programming, and percussion,
and, on three tracks, Joshua McClain’s cello...In lyrical acuteness,
Pasqual has outdone herself, and without any histrionics her lovely
voice gives the words melodic grace and gravitas. A worthy heir of
Laura Nyro, Tim Buckley, and Suzanne Vega, Pasqual creates her own
context in a 21st century moment."
DEAR JOHN LOVE RENEE
Award-winning singer-songwriter Renée Harcourt of BLAME SALLY FAME,
and New York City transplant John McConnel are Dear John Love Renée,
and together they deliver smart songwriting, tight harmonies and
rootsy acoustic guitar picking all hovering in the Americana/Folk/Pop
genre. Their sound has been compared The Everly Brothers, Simon and
Garfunkel, and Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová, with a hint of
Broadway, Radiohead and The Grateful Dead.
