More information is available below from other band members as they present their "bios". For now, the material consists of Drew Anthonys compositions, but that is subject to change. This is primarily going to be dance music that's worth listening to if you're not inclined to dance. So, watch for the "Blue Fox Orkestra"; , we're going to be around for a while. If not, there's always Strange But Drew to play the piano or guitar and sing for you. And then, plain old Drew Anthony might come out to do some "garage jazz" for us all. To contact, email Drew through this website, or call 707-829-7179.

As was mentioned before, we had such a great time at the boat club, or "boatland", as David likes to call it, that we were invited back! That's one of the nicest compliments a band can get. These sorts of positive relationships between house and band always promise a great night out. Once again, a big friendly bar in a big friendly dance room, right on the water's edge, in good old San Francisco. No cover, but it is a private club, so you have to sign in.

"Stringbeans" goes on at 8 P.M. This is the second effort by Matt Seiple. His first effort was "Mud Acres".
Some of that first ensemble came over to this new band. This is highly well executed,
traditional acoustic bluegrass. Even if you're not a real fan,
the sheer talent of this bunch is compelling. A must hear.
...........................................................................
Special Update: We have a new drummer. His name is Chris Warden. We like him a lot.
Gives us a brighter, more refreshing approach. Great for dancing.

Hey! We're back again, by popular demand. It's on Friday Night, too.
We had such a good time, last time out, that even though it's late,
you really should try it. Parking is good. Drinks are cheap, and
the atmosphere is downright libertine. It's the only show this month,
so give it a thought! They don't know quite when we're going on, so to be safe,
be there by eleven.

We want to say thanks, to everybody on the mailing list, and anybody who heard us any other way for enjoying our stuff! Be it known that beginning in June, The Blue Fox Orkestra is "Back in the box" as it were! We'll be looking for new permanent members after the disk "Quest for the Blue Fox" is released. Until then, I'll be out solo, and with friends, playing the piano, having fun, experiencing my latest release, "Beads on a String". Find out more about this on the Music and Soundbites page. Contact Drew by email or call 415-467-1352.
...........................................................................
So, here we go for 2000! Beginning on Sunday afternoon, January 16, 1 to 3pm.
Parking is San Francisco! So, use the Hayes Street bus if you can; it stops right on Cole St., in front of the Sacred Grounds Cafe. You can also use the Haight or Fulton St. buses, get off at Cole Street, and navigate. Out-of-towners should come a little early. If you need to contact Sacred Grounds, call 415-387-3859.

Played the Coffe Catz Cafe in Sebastopol, California on saturday night, April 8. It was an intimate two hour show, in a nice room, with a grand piano. Local musician and dj James Canter sat in on electric guitar for a few numbers, and an old friend, Steven Kessler, came up and banged on the drum. This was a special show, but with a 60 mile drive I just decided to do it for the local folks, some of whom have known me for some time. It was a sweet event.
...........................................................................
MAY 5 (CINCO DE MAYO!) DREW ANTHONY AND DAVE MAHALY performing from 7-9 pm @ the final bids of a silent art auction @ GALLERY LUSCOMBE 3040 24th ST. (@TREAT) Free, this is a neat place and Dave Mahaly is an even bigger treat! Come on out!
...........................................................................
SUN. MAY 28, A "MEMORIAL EVE" presentation of NEW COLLEGE OF CALIFORNIA @ "AMNESIA" 853 Valencia (Formerly the "Chameleon") 9-11 PM $3. Drew will host this event, as well as read a poem or two, do some spoken word, sing a few tunes. This is an alternative approcach to an American holiday that, like so many others, has gone "out of control". Promises to be a little different.
...........................................................................
SUN. JUNE 11, This notice if for die-hard fans! (ha ha!) It's because people will have to drive 65 miles north of the city to Santa Rosa. Once there, they go to the Health and Harmony Festival at the fairgrounds [ it costs money to get in and park, so I didn't want to make a big deal out of this for people; it's quite a hike] to see Drew play flute with many musical friends at the closing ceremonies of the show ! This is modest but special exposure for little 'ol me, and I'm very excited about it. There will be great people to meet at a great event. Maybe I'll see you there! Stories to follow!

This is a repeat of the format presented at LaScombe Art Gallery
back in the Mission on the night of Cinco de Mayo. Not only all sorts of
keyboard sounds, but "Doctor Dave" will probably treat us to a few strains
of his funky slide guitar, and you will probably hear some flutes and drums as well.
Not as much singing as usual, but a few new tunes, no doubt.
Perhaps a tune will be born that afternoon! Come on out and enjoy!

On the following thursday night, Nov. 2 [the Day of the Dead], at the Precita Eyes Mural Awareness Center in the Mission, 2981 24th St. at Harrison. 415-285-2287. Approximately 9pm.
Try to come early. And, strangely enough, by that time of night parking isn't too bad.
This is a very popular event. Lots of new people to meet! We will play in the back room. All ages are welcome, but it's a big event so there's a bar set up in the front where drinks are served. Come casual or dress-up. You're good both ways.

This time around, Ken Wills will be substituting for Dave Mihalay, though he's hardly a substitute, having contributed so much to the now-released DAE Records 002 "Quest for the Blue Fox". Also performing, Roger Segal, San Francisco Poet. Not only all sorts of keyboard sounds, but "Kenny Wheels" will treat us to his remarkable percussive flavors.
Perhaps a tune will be born that afternoon! This is our fourth go-around, and we want you to know, that if you haven't made it, you're missing the emergence of a brand-new feeling! Come on out!
