ANTIC CLAY
I think I’ll play Southern Accents, Redemption Day, The Folk Singer, Folsom Prison Blues in E minor, and possibly Busted. I’ve worked up a nice rendition of The Man Comes Around but it’s already been claimed by two other acts. I might do Hurt (again) if it’s not claimed and people want to hear it.

I’m very excited about this show and my first visit to Kraków. Some very lovely people worked diligently to make it happen – including Monika, in this nice post that I want to share with you:
We’ll be playing Star Bar once again, this time invited by our new friends in Rare Birds, along with The Ides of June. We are “headlining” (wink) so we’ll probably be on around 11. No worries – it’s a Saturday night! I think it’s interesting – our bands are decidedly different, but there’s a commonality. Perhaps the hats (grin). In any case Antic Clay will bring a monster set – and we’re still not exactly where I want us to be, sonically/musically. We have been rehearsing diligently, despite the typical holiday disruptions. I hope this early 2023 show is as excellent as I’ve heard us be, and sets the tone for the entire coming year. Tickets here. Or click the poster below for the Facebook Event page.
Found some footage I've never shared. This was our debut show as this 3-piece lineup consisting of Michael Bradley, Beau Eadon and Michael Appel. A very early version of All Rise recorded on Mikey's GoPro, and apparently sponsored by Sierra Nevada Torpedo. Want a closeup of a tipped tallboy? Wait for it!
More photos and video to come. It was an interesting show in an interesting spot. Atlanta Underground is like a ghost town. Homeless wandering, empty business fronts. So much potential. I sat next to a bronze sculpture of a man feeding a pigeon. Downtown Atlanta. 30 years ago I had a picture taken at the same spot. I’ll post both here shortly. But my overriding feeling was that this place should be thriving. And it ain’t.
IT GOES DOWN SO EASY Well the sun exploded at dawn And two fools who cared carried on into the evening But when the sun was murdered that morn its rays razored two sheep who were shorn All in the light In that wooly muck I did buckle me down on my knees And I went down so easy Lord, I went down so easy My curse was immersed in a dream Where somnambulists peered amid schemes Of my own devising I’m well versed with this machine With each whore and a horrible scene on the horizon Peer down the rim of the pit where the lost all toss their allegiance You’ll see it goes down so easy lord, it goes down so easy. On the hill of that weltering dawn I blinked and you were gone All but your shadow So I fell into the drink I drank in my fill till I sank But that don’t appease me No my terminus won’t approach till that ocean ceases Because it goes down so easy lord, it goes down so easy.
