Music Mondays: Pepper Coat – Stop by Sweet Afton in Astoria tonight at 9pm for the latest installation of their Music Mondays series. Pepper Coat, “the musical alter-ego of Edmund Lawrence Kasubinski III” will be playing live with guitar and harmonica in hand. His music is a bit folky, and the songs can be lonesome and optimistic, and sometimes just ridiculous, according to him. No cover, free.
