The long holiday weekend isn’t quite over.  If you’d like it to last just a little longer, head over to The Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 tonight and see singer-songwriter Misty Boyce.  What you get is great songwriting, spirited playing and an energetic crowd and tonight, as an added bonus, Misty will be giving away a download card for “a new old song we just recorded, called Blue Like Sea.”  See Now I’ve Heard Everything for the details.

Richard Barone and his band, The Bongos, were a mainstay of the Hoboken scene in the 1980s.  Since The Bongos split in 1987, Richard has put out a few solo albums and produced other musicians, but there has been no new music from Richard for the past 15 years or so.  That changes in a bit more than a week, when Richard’s new album, Glow is issued.  A video (really just a pic of the album cover) of the first song from Glow, Gravity’s Pull is up here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.

Finally, read about the end of Paste Magazine, the music related programs at the upcoming Brooklyn Book Festival, Rosanne Cash, Steve Wynn and The Miracle 3 and Chuck Prophet and The Mission Express in News and Notes at Now I’ve Heard Everything.
