New York’s finest all-female alt-country show continues to bring you high quality roots music straight from the heart of the five boroughs on April 29 at Hill Country Barbeque. Jamie Lyn & The Red Tail Hawk Band make a rare appearance, kicking off the show at 9pm with bassist Ryan Combs joining Jamie Lyn’s roster of venerable honky tonk heroes. At 10pm, The Rosy Nolan Band takes the stage, bringing their spiky, rustic, country-inspired style of music and Nolan’s disarmingly honest lyrics. Banjo Jim’s booker and local country music maven Drina Seay headlines the show, with Drina and the Deep Blue Sea. NYC music blog Lucid Culture (www.lucidculture.wordpress.com) describes Drina as "honey-voiced". Drina is a frequent guest harmony singer with Li'l Mo & the Monicats and Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers, and appears on both the new album by Li'l Mo & the Monicats ON THE MOON, and Sean Kershaw's new release CONEY ISLAND COWBOY.
The show begins at 9 pm and live music continues until midnight, with each set starting on the hour. Honky Tonk Angels is of the most highly acclaimed NYC roots-country events running.
