Manhattan based Monica Passin, better known as L’il Mo, crosses the river into Brooklyn to lead her band, The Monicats, through a set of country, rockabilly, blues, 60s pop and whatever else she and they may play.  And I’ll add that not only are L’il Mo and The Monicats terrific musically, they are just plain fun to watch.  Details plus a music video are posted over at Now I’ve Heard Everything.

Next week, Alejandro Escovedo, a rock n roll force even if you’ve not heard of him yet, comes into town and plays three shows at City Winery to promote his new CD (on sale Tuesday), Street Songs of Love.  Check out a contest to win tickets to see Al, stream cuts from that new album and see a video by checking out Now I’ve Heard Everything.
