Ancient Baby at Fairfax Festival + New Video

9 Jun

I caught my first Fairfax Fest at the riotous age of 14. I still remember seeing the Jazz Iguanas play and buying their cassette afterwards…

NOW…let’s talk about 2017. This Saturday, June 10th at NOON, my band Ancient Baby will be playing on the Forest Stage in Peri Park, near the intersection of Park Rd. and Bolinas Rd. in good old Fairfax.

For the first time in a few months, we’ll be featuring our complete quartet, with no substitue players: Adam Bowers on steel guitars and voice, Angeline Saris on bass, Sean Nelson on drums, and yours truly, Chris Peck on guitar and voice.

We’ll be playing for a solid 70 minutes, right up till 1:10, so we’ll be stretching out and improvising a bit more than usual to fill up all that spare time! Here, in advance of the Fairfax Festival, is a brand NEW VIDEO of the quartet, performing “Keeping it Together”. This session was directed by Josh Mehler at Translucent Studios, in San Rafael, with camera work by Neiel Cavin, and audio capture by Andrew Erickson. It was a really chill crew that day, as we hid out from the rain in Josh’s supremely mellow warehouse studio. Hope you enjoy this video. If the spirit moves you, please give it a share ❤
