Tonight there’s a pretty good double feature. First up is music film. City Winery will screen The Promise: The Making of Darkness at the Edge of Town and the extremely reasonable $10 admission goes for charity. Once the film is finished, head on over to Banjo Jim’s to catch New York’s own Li’l Mo and The Monicats. You can catch all the details for these shows at Now I’ve Heard Everything by clicking here.
The term “literature with guitars” was coined by writer George Pelicanos. It certainly applies to the novelistic/cinematic song, Wait Here for the Cops, by David Olney, who gets an entire story of desperation due to a life gone wrong down in just four minutes. Click here to see the video of the song and learn how you can see David at a rare New York City appearance at a Sunday, May 1 house concert.
