Do you like music? Do you like beer? Do you live in the Sacramento area? Do you like old bricky warehouse places that serve yummy imported beer? Are you a member of the Sacramento Society for Really Impressive Conversations and Ideas? Or the Ministry of Fun? Well come down R Street when you've got a couple 5 hours to kill and start out with some breakfast, then some pints, check your email, have lunner or dunch, drink another pint and mingle with funny regulars that talk kind of loud and say mildly inappropriate things, and stick around into the night and listen to some unique and satisfying music. Okay, let me break down August's entertainment for ya:

Thursday the 1st is Jay Shaner’s band
along with whimsical SF band Odd Owl (think Camera Obscura meets Taken by
Trees). We love Jay, so come out and hear his beautifully crafted music
straight from the heart.
Friday is the return of Zach Sapunor and his brilly
jazz duo, The Afterlife, fresh from his stint with Wayne Hancock and Austin,
Texas. Zach toured the world playing his highbred brand of ultra-gymnastic
stand-up bass. Also on the bill is Miss Maddy’s F St. Stompers playing string
swing.
Saturday night, don’t miss straight rock & roll from Old Cotton
Dreary, sophisticated southern indie rock from SF’s Sands, and June and Johnny Cash
sounds from Jewels & Johnny Nation. Super eclectic music for the adventurous at heart!

Friday it’s Irish plus Americana from
One-Eyed Reilly, Slavic Latin soul from The Hollow Point Stumblers, and country
from Vallejo’s High Card Drifters.
Saturday is bluegrass and folk form The Spillit Quikkers and
Longhut. The Spillits say they are Sacramento's one and only rootin'-tootin'm, high-fallutin', non-pollutin', bona fide good time string band! They also feature the one and only Jimbo Gilbert! Put a banger on a bun in your face place!
Friday is local Foo Fighter style rockers Wolfgang Vega with wild and amazing Australian country from 8-Ball Aitken and straight LA country from Alice Wallace. Wolfgang play powerful indie rock that will get your head bouncing. 8-Ball is an amazingly dynamic performer and will surely entertain with his fiery ginger back bush sound. Alice is a beautiful singer-songwriter with great songs and only plays with top notch musicians.
Saturday the 24th is indie soul from Hans Eberbach with folk from Brian Stevens. Brian Stevens is a rough and tumble singer-songwriter with a punk influence. The Foxy Goose has something for everyone!
Stepping Stone takes over on the 29th providing the return of Fox & Goose’s Irish Session. Come enjoy traditional Celtic music and bring an instrument!
Friday is Sac’s best
country band, the Golden Cadillacs, with sweet melodic folk from Güero. Seriously the most satisfying western band I can think of. The music is melodic and a little dark with creative lyrics and fancy vintage equipment. Güero is made up of local skate heroes jamming modern art folk with banjo, guitar, and bass. Come enjoy the best of Sacramento's music in this wonderful intimate setting!
Hey, do you recognize this? It's the bigger than life fox and goose outside the Fox & Goose, and this very wonderful man Richard Ratcliff made them. He's a local artist who has some more pieces in the Adamson Gallery right next door to the Goose located at 1021 R street. Dick is a sophisticated and kind ex-lobbyist cat who creates fun and interesting bronze sculptures usually in the shape of animals and bugs. I've had the pleasure of chatting with him on quite a few occasions and thought you might like to meet him. Meow.
