10pm- Disney Girls (1957)
Genre: Americana/indie
For fans of:  Sparklehorse/Wilco/Elliott Smith/The Mountain Goats

Disney Girls (1957) began as the stage and recording name for Dan Morosi. While playing in various acts, he met Charlie Rauh, (lead guitar) and Concetta Abbate (violin). Dan and Charlie share an unhealthy obsession with electric guitars, 60s session musicians, and whiskey. Concetta adds warmth and texture to the sound, bringing the candid lyrics and thoughtful arrangements to life. Dan’s songs are about finding hope in the mundane and endless failures that constantly weigh us down every moment of every meaningless day.
