New Music
I’m just back from Iota and the Autism benefit - my esteemed co-author joined me as well and we had a nice dinner and enjoyed some live music. One of the things I like best about going out to see the local bands I’ve come to enjoy is also seeing who else is playing that night and learning about other local artists. After all, Honor by August playing at the State introduced me to Daniela Cotton. And tonight, we were introduced to Eva Castillo.
I don’t know why I don’t usually listen to girls (musically) except jazz but I admire anyone who gets up on stage with just a guitar and sings words they wrote themselves. And Eva has a good stage presence and good words - as she said 80% about boys she couldn’t have for one reason or another and 20% about world peace. We’ve all been there.
Eva’s at Chief Ike’s on 18th Street in DC on Thursday if you’d like to catch here there later this week.
