** Free Guest List --
Call for info **

Alright, aside from being fans of great songwriting and great playing (qualities that SK6ers have in abundance) we here at the Finger are pretty big fans of artists who inject a healthy dose of what the French call joy in life (but somehow make too hard to spell); Stephen Kellogg and the boys dropped in on us in November of 2005 and they still hold the top slot on our list of most fun in-stores we've ever had. This video (Stephen's version of the history of Pop music) just about sums up what I'm talking about. Since we only ask people in to play that we really like, it's pretty common for us to urge you to not miss an in-store, let me say, you really need to not miss this one - it will be great.

A little info on the new record: Glassjaw Boxer was produced by Mike Daly of Whiskeytown, with a little help from Dave Bryson of Counting Crows, and guest appearances by Caitlin Cary (who played in Whiskeytown, but is best known as a solo artist) and Marc Roberge (who sings with O.A.R.) and besides the requisite amount of electric and acoustic guitars, it features accordions, trumpets, and lap steel in a heady blend of American rock and roll gone terrifically right.

Some recent press:
Stephen Kellogg and his cohorts are in a tradition of polished, street-level rockers who shape the poetics of everyday life as lived by 'regular folks' into anthemic dimensions.
    - No Depression Magazine

Guster meets Ryan Adams. Spirited and hilarious, heartfelt and sincere. Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers live show cannot be put into words; a mesmerizing experience for all ages.
    - Sonic

Kellogg's Music is semi-grittty, melodic alt-country. Think early Wilco, Whiskeytown, or Tom Petty. Relaxed; yet passionate.
    - Boston Globe

SK6ERS will also be playing October 3rd at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood (full band performance). Hear and see for yourself here: Hear & See
