On Wednesday August 8th and 22nd, it's Steve McLane. Steve has been playing at Fox & Goose since the early days. His smooth voice and excellent guitar playing create the atmosphere we can only hope will last forever. Playing classics from Neil Young to the Beatles to Bob Dylan, he always leaves us wanting more, and its always a mellow way to spend a Wednesday evening with a pint and a pasty.

Thursday, the 9th we have live acoustic music with Benyaro (NY) and Brian Biehle of local rock band Moot. Benyaro sounds like early Tom Waits and Brian's music is driving bass heavy rock and roll.

On Saturday the 18th, Fox & Goose welcomes Friendship and Anaura (SF). Friendship is a rowdy companion to any fine ale and makes living in Sacramento so much more realistic. Anaura is the best combination of Supergrass and the Smiths, and will make you feel quite fuzzy inside. Both bands come with equal amounts of melody and sexy hair. Have a pint and plan your next hair style, or just stand there and pretend your a statue!

Try a Waterloo Sunset and chill out.

Uh-oh... It's Be Brave Bold Robot and their crew of uncontrollable delinquent machine-imals on Friday the 24th. We really like it when they play, but their emotional songs cause customers to lose hair and suffer extreme bouts of weeping and crying fits. Everyone gets over it after a shot of Jamo or two, but you shouldn't take this lightly. The Secret Lives of Squirrels have gone where heavy rock music always wanted: straight to your heart via your ear-hole. Also Shells from Australia is performing her acoustic heartfelt music, she's a singing Aussie princess! Don't miss this incredible Sacramento emo show!

Friday the 31st, Fox & Goose Music presents: The Golden Cadillacs, Biv & the Mneumonics(SF), and Hello Echo(LA). Local honky-tonk greats, The Golden Cadillacs, always bring a great show with top notch musicians and great western songs. Biv is a quirky alt rock group with a full sound and catchy songs all laced up with thick nylon string strumming and sweet melodic vocals kind of like Elliot Smith.
