Monica Pasqual (of Blame Sally) and Dear John Love Renee

Already the winner of five Independent Music Awards and six Emmy Awards, Monica currently has two songs from her soon-to-be released album in the finals of the 2019 Independent Music Awards. In 2017 Pasqual’s political song and video “You Can’t Kill Light” garnered her radio play and views on stations across the US and Germany and was performed live by Pasqual at the 2018 Bay Area Women’s March. Her songs have been used on numerous network television shows and she has composed soundtracks for PBS, The History Channel and National Geographic Television. This fall she is releasing her sixth solo album, also titled “You Can’t Kill Light.” Pasqual will be accompanied by her band, The Handsome Brunettes.

Best known for her work in the Bay Area’s female band Blame Sally, of whom rock critic Joel Selvin wrote: “…one of the most powerful word-of-mouth success stories I’ve heard in recent years.” Pasqual has managed to maintain an impressive solo career both before and during the Blame Sally years.
