Back in 2015 Robyn Hitchcock performed the whole of the Clear Spot album live at various UK venues – read about that here.
On Friday 29th August 2025 he will be performing the Safe As Milk album live at The Chapel, San Francisco. A second set will include a number of other Beefheart songs from the later albums.
At the moment this appears to be the only performance before Robyn heads off to perform Dylan’s John Wesley Harding album at several US venues.
Along with Robyn will be some ‘special guests’ (although others, currently unknown, are promised):
Chuck Prophet
Kelley Stoltz
Blag Dahlia (The Dwarves)
Lydia Walker
The evening’s band will be :
Joe Gore (PJ Harvey, Tom Waits)
Allyson Baker (Dirty Ghosts)
Pete Straus (The Dwarves)
Warren Huegel
Marc Capelle
Jamin Barton
