GLOBAL "Janel and Anthony are an important step in the evolution of music. They both exist on so many levels, each piece is like a hundred doors opening up!" – Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins) “Janel & Anthony - guitars and 'cello respectively - play a haunting and humbly virtuosic form of music wherein the elements of electronics, looping, and lo-fi timbres live both in intimacy and in majesty in the same house as acoustic instruments and folk/blues- inspired melodies. As such, it is both timely and timeless, drenched as it is in intoxicating atmosphere; wan, quiet voices submitting to waves of sonic drama. Who could possibly resist it?” – Nels Cline (Wilco, Nels Cline Singers) Janel and Anthony are a Washington DC based instrumental duo whose elegant experimental music has gained the attention of some of the world’s most important improvisers and musicians, and captivated live audiences (and NPR and BBC listeners) locally and abroad. For Where Is Home, their second album and first release on Cuneiform, the duo have created a lush, orchestral work investigating the treacherous emotional terrain at the hyper-mobile heart of 21st century America. Drawing on everything from Hindustani ragas and surf rock licks to Appalachian laments and post-bop harmonies, the album alternates between intricately lapidary, electro-acoustic soundscapes and brief improvised dialogues.

Join us. If you’ve come in the past, you know it’s a blast!. Sacramento with the Blues By Lisa Phenix Blues in the Schools Spring 2019 is in full swing. We are ‘Keepin' the Blues Alive” in Sacramento by igniting a love for blues music in our local area kids. With David Alcock at its helm, our Assemblies program is rockin'. BITS has put on ten Assemblies this past couple of months at elementary schools all over Sacramento, including Wilton, Wood- land, Elk Grove, North Highlands, Rancho Cordova, Natomas and the South area. Our Assemblies have met the needs of all ages; elementary students, juvenile hall students and special needs students. The Blues in the Schools After-School Program is also on fire. With Blues Musicians Matt Hevesh, Vincent Pantages, Joe Lev, Larry Schiavone, and Lew Fratis, at three area high schools, Woodcreek, West Campus and Rosemont, our high school students are learn- ing to play instruments, play together in a band, write a blues song, sing, harmonize, and perform in front of a large group. They will use many of these skills throughout life, and will always remember the joy of rockin' out. The after-school program culminates in the annual SBS BITS Student Showcase. This year's BITS SHOWCASE is May 2, 2019, 6pm, at Stoney’s Rockin Rodeo, 1320 Del Paso Blvd, Sacramento.
