On behalf of Ye Olde Sea Captain, the band would like extend a huge THANK YOU to #SmileysSaloon for a great show last night and the people of Bolinas for coming out and shaking it vigorously. We enjoyed the beach, some grub, picking up valuable tidbits from the local newspaper, and Smileys’ comfy digs. Thanks for taking care of us!

And we don’t stop. Up next is the @justaintheardofmeyet showcase in Oakland this weekend - happening at the @shadowultralounge in Downtown Oakland. We’ll see you there at 9:30 this Saturday, March 28th!

We had a blast at @kalxradio this past weekend. Thank you to Cia Cia, Eric, and the whole crew for taking care of us. And in case you missed it, we’ll have the audio from that interview ready for you soon!

In other news, we are heading up to Bolinas this weekend for you folks in Marin County. We’re playing #SmileysSaloon this Saturday night 3/21, followed by our return to Oakland at the @shadowultralounge the following Saturday on 3/28.

Did you know? There are upwards of 85,000 Elvis impersonators around the world. Looking for another reason to come to tomorrow night’s show in San Francisco? Well here it is: Bear Lincoln will be joined by Arturo Leon, who will don his finest jumpsuit and dance moves as the King of Rock’n’Roll, Mr. Presley himself.

What songs should we play with Arturo as Elvis? Let us know!

P.S. just kidding we’ve already chosen and practiced 3 songs but it would be fun to hear your suggestions.

Got ourselves a write-up about this week’s show at @elriosf​ in @thebaybridged. The night promises to be “eclectic mix of sonic entertainment.” San Francisco, we’ll see ya on Thursday!

A monstrous amount of live show announcements coming your way friends!

Thursday March 12th we’ll be playing @elriosf, presented by @passgomgmt and @counterculturemgmt.

Then we play live on UC Berkeley’s @kalxradio​ from 9 to midnight on Saturday, March 14th.

And finally we’ll be at the @shadowultralounge for a local show with #TheGetawayDogs and @19diamonds​music on March 28th, presented by @justaintheardofmeyet. Excited for a busy March!
