*no open mic at ABC tonight*

Join us TONIGHT, February 21, 2008 for a very special performance with Tom Hamilton’s American Babies-at The Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing Company with guests A Utopian Skyline.

Hamilton’s band is positively huge, a co-ed family comprised of two guitarists, a bassist, an xylophone virtuoso (!!), Mr. Hamilton himself, and a solid drummer courtesy of the Benevento/Russo Duo. Such a lineup could easily create a large, boisterous sound, but the American Babies apply a “less is more” mentality to these rootsy, country-infused tunes. When Hamilton strums his acoustic guitar, casually wails into his harmonica, and leads the American Babies in another one of their wistful numbers, he channels a young Gram Parsons (or perhaps a more sober Ryan Adams).

What’s more is this show is FREE- NO COVER-

Utopian Skyline around 9:15- American Babies around 10:30 – See you at the show! http://americanbabies.net http://myspace.com/autopianskyline http://abcbrew.com
