Eight Gigs: Anton Barbeau

Sat., March 12, 8 p.m., Shine, $7

Sacramento residents likely need no introduction to Anton Barbeau, who is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance with the release of his appropriately dubbed new album, Magic Act. One would be hard-pressed to think of another ’90s-era indie artist who still plays the area and has retained so many fans. Fans of XTC, quirky indie fare and even the Beatles’ or Bowie’s catalog will find great reward in Barbeau’s latest and, more importantly, they’ll be impressed with his live show and updated interpretations. A prime example of Sacramento staying power. 1400 E Street, www.antonbarbeau.com.
