Anton Barbeau, one of Sacramento’s best, most unique, and most prolific singer-songwriters is back from the UK for a pair of a bunch of shows in our town. Let’s hope to hear Third Eye, The Banana Song, Drug Free, Please Sir I’ve Got A Wooden Leg, and more quirky Ant classics!

THURSDAY JAN 10 – TRUE LOVE COFFEEHOUSE 8pm with Steve Randall (maybe). Anton says: “since last week’s show went so well, i’m going to do an EXACT replica! all three hours of it! naw, i’m sure it’ll be all shook up and floppy. 8pm til 10 (or so!) if steve randall is recovered, hopefully he’ll join me up there, and who knows who else might…”

FRIDAY JAN 11 – LUNA’S CAFE 9pm with Michael Jordan opening (no, not that one). Anton says: “i will try and make sure my set lists are varied between the two gigs, so please fling me your requests. i might do something like feature songs from “a splendid tray” and “waterbugs and beetles,” par example. by now, i reckon a wide selection of songs is probably the best gimmick i’ve got, though i’ll never get a sammie for such a thing!”

SATURDAY JAN 19 – JAVA LOUNGE, SACRAMENTO the Antband (Steve Randall, Tom Monson and Gabe Nelson) headline, with Adam Goldman and the Envelope Peasant on before. 8PM

SUNDAY JAN 20 – OLD IRONSIDES, SACRAMENTOAntband (with same line-up TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW!) in the middle slot on another great show. The Pink Snowflakes from LA on first at 9:30, and Pets on after.

See you at the Luna’s show.
