FamiliesRock! Antone's…The Occupational Hazard Show!

A special early show with Farmer Jason (Jason Ringenberg [w] Front man for the legendary cowpunk group Jason and the Scorchers [w]...turned FARMER) TOGETHER with Austin's own tradesman turned musician...Matt the Electrician & BAND!

Farmer Jason: Jason Ringenberg is best known as the firebrand front man of Jason & the Scorchers, but he's also a parent, and, like most dads, he's more than a little tired of Barney the dinosaur and whatever other character Disney is hawking this month dominating the listening habits of his kids (as well as those of fellow parents around him).

Literally taking the bull by the horns, Ringenberg has cut an album for children which takes the form of a musical day on the farm, in which "Farmer Jason" introduces us to various barnyard critters, takes us on a tractor ride, and tells us all about life on the back-40 (which, since Ringenberg owns a farm, is something he knows a bit about).

Matt the Electrician: Austin's Matt the Electrician has the same songwriter's knack for smiling in the face of calamity that propelled Michael Penn and the Barenaked Ladies to fame and fortune; things are constantly askew in the lyrics, yet the tunes remain snappy and upbeat. - The Austin Chronicle

Open arrangements spotlight his vocals and guitar, complemented by bass, percussion, and the occasional piano, mandolin or banjolele ("half ukulele, half banjo, all rock," jokes Matt). -Performing Songwriter Magazine

Matt the Electrician stays busy gigging all over the country, and has recently toured as support with Bob Schneider, The Weepies, and Melissa Ferrick.

Families...DON'T miss this rare daytime opportunity to see legendary Jason Ringenberg as Farmer Jason on his international tour from Nashville and Matt The Electrician in a rare Kid Friendly show with band (usually >21 clubs with band)! The legendary Antone's Home of The Blues is letting Families 'GET IN' post-nap, pre-dinner. Let's show 'em our love and what we're made of ~ FamiliesRock!
