Fat Opie's Punk Americana | Rasputin Free In-Store Concerts | Berkeley

Fat Opie (featuring Scott Mickelson) will perform an acoustic set at Rasputin’s in Berkeley.

“While Fat Opie’s sweet-sounding American folk-rock hits are undeniably catchy, it’s the profound messages within them that have struck a chord with the band’s loyal followers. Like a modern day Woody Guthrie, Mickelson tackles America’s polarizing views of illegal immigration in “Crying in Spanish,” discusses living with depression in “Monster In The Room,” and even sings from the perspective of a window washer working in New York City after 9/11 in “Nicorette.” – Good Times (Santa Cruz)
