Sunny, sweet, simple and sometimes somber, the melodies and stories of Lesa Bezo both touch your heart and brighten your day. Lesa is the leader of Northampton, Massachusetts based power-pop lovelies The Fawns who are celebrating their tenth year and have released two albums with a third on the way.

Last year, a collection of wonderful musicians contributed to an album of Lesa’s compositions. The 29-track record is titled Friends: A Celebration of the Songs of Lesa Bezo. Come to La Paloma Sabanera to hear why folks as diverse as Spouse, Philip and Flora of Winterpills, Ray Mason, Jim Armenti, Mark Mulcahy, and even some of The Ladies of the Young@Heart Chorus found Lesa’s songs worthy of covering.
This is the fifth, and final, performance of the Library’s Indie Pop series.
The event is free and open to the public.
