Eight Gigs: Antsy McClain
Sat., Jan. 31, 8 p.m., Crest Theatre, $25-$37.50
With songs like “I Was Just Flipped Off,” “Skinny Women Ain't Hip” and “Prozac Made Me Stay,” Antsy McClain has established himself as a humorist, social commentator, storyteller, songwriter and probably the only person who hosts his live show from his fictional trailer park, Pine View Heights. McClain's influences include Garrison Keillor (of A Prairie Home Companion), Waylon Jennings, Tommy Smothers, Tommy Emmanuel and Baxter Black. McClain pulls from folk, country, rockabilly, surf, jazz, swing and gospel to create a style he calls “folkabilly.” Joining McClain on this stop of his Tool Belt Tour is Australian singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso Daniel Champagne. 1013 K Street, http://unhitched.com.
