Jesca Hoop

Also on Wednesday is the annual Guitartown kickoff party at Mother Egan's Dogwood.  This year it has expanded to Molotov, too.  Lots of bands.  I'll highlight someone playing across the street at J Blacks, though.  Jesca Hoop is from Northern California and has toured with the likes of Andrew Bird and Elbow.  She's gotten airplay on KCRW and has been around awhile.  This is the first I've heard of her and I like it.  Reminds me of Neko Case.  She plays at 2:00 on Wednesday.
