If you have a moral issue with biased journalism, you can stop reading now. As stage producer for the North Park Festival of Arts, I have volunteered hours in meetings and chasing down bands to make it all come together on Sunday, and since I book West Coast Tavern, I thought it would be a great preview to the festival to have Josh Damigo, Eric Canzona and Al Howard of the Heavy Guilt, and Jesse LaMonaca perform an acoustic show tonight as a preview to the festival. They might play together, they might each just do a few songs each ... you just never know what the night will bring, but I guarantee a better time cannot be had at the low price of 'free' and it couldn't be spent with better home grown talent.
