Hillbilly Howler

It takes a certain kind of chutzpah to sing country music on Saint
Laurent Boulevard.

Plateau hipsters cant get enough of singer-songwriter Lil Andy and now
the cowboy crooner has added a new layer to his sound by blending
country-noir with traditional gospel. His third album All
Who Thirst Come to the Waters is a selection of rich and
reflective tunes recorded among the pews of 19th century St. Jean
Baptiste Cathedral.

Yeeha and amen to that.

Li’l Andys All Who Thirst Come to the Waters CD launch 9 p.m.,
tickets $8, tonight at Sala Rossa, 4848 St-Laurent Blvd., Montreal,
514-284-0122, www.casadelpopolo.com
