JOE SIB is heading back on the road with CALIFORNIA CALLING: A STORY OF GROWING UP PUNK ROCK, an extraordinary one-man show performance piece about the love of music and growing up in California. Shows are lined up in Orange County, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix, Austin, and Sib’s hometown of San Jose, with special guests Dave Hause (from The Loved Ones) and Altercation Punk Comedy Tour’s JT Haberstatt set to appear in select markets (see tour dates below).

After a successful residency earlier this year at the highly esteemed Largo at the Coronet theatre in Los Angeles and a handful of shows up and down the Pacific coast and NYC, it’s time for the rest of the country to see what CALIFORNIA CALLING is all about. “California Calling is my story about how music saved my life. Sounds heavy right? Don’t worry, it’s not,” Sib laughs. “But without music, I would be completely lost-and before I discovered punk rock, I was. California Calling is about growing up, and it’s about how one day in December of 1981 changed my life forever.”

“Sib’s boundless earnestness about the identity-shaping possibility of music charged his part-memoir, part-comedy, part-backyard-barbecue-yarn about what happens when the old days never quite go away. ‘California Calling’ isn’t so much a performance as it is a solid hour to get comfortable and let Sib–a coiled spring of joy when it comes to these topics–riff on stream-of-consciousness tales of teenage n’er-do-welling. The abiding take from “California Calling” is that the rush of youthful discovery doesn’t have to dissipate with adult life.”
–LATimes.com, 1/7/10 (in a review “Joe Sib’s funny, manic, often touching ‘California Calling’”)

“His tales stem from a deep humor and passion; they’re part success story, part historical, and part average California guy having a blast.”
–Kenneth Hughes, Flavorpill.com, February 10, 2010
