Over the years, ArtWalk has not only showcased great artists, but they've consistently booked great local musicians to add to the festive event. I always love going to spend the day or both days in Little Italy, but today I'm particularly excited to see Jesse LaMonaca. As you know, the local musician celebrated his CD release back in February, but hasn't been performing at all the past couple of months, so it will be great to see him take the stage again. Later tonight, it seems to be all indie between the Casbah, Soda Bar, Tin Can, and the Loft. You could take your pick on any of those shows and be certain to have a great time and take your mind of the looming Monday ahead.
