Cause of the Month: It Gets Better Project
Ledaswan is a San Antonio-based indie rock band that I’ve previously featured at my site a couple of times. They consist of wife and husband Erica Monzon (Vocals/Guitar/Harmonica) and Jaime Monzon (Guitar), brother David Monzon (Guitar), Lalo Rodriguez (Bass), and Nico Ochoa (Drums).
