Pre-save it now at https://atorecords-ffm.com/tfiowo. Pre-Order Vinyl: ATO STORE Wes comments, “Over the last year and half the band and I have been writing and creating what will be the debut of Brigitte Calls Me Baby. We’re giving birth to an idea that I have a profound belief in and I know it will find who it’s meant to. My motive since I first discovered myself on December 6th, 2013, up until this very moment, has always been as follows: if you could find a way to take a profound feeling you have felt and give it a name, a sound, a look and an identity and cast it out into the world, to people who are also looking to hold onto strong feelings that are fading from their life and minds everyday, you could achieve permanence. I want these feelings and moments to last forever and I [Read More]

Cannons sold out show at August Hall exceeds all our expectations

May 28, 2024

  Cannons have been selling out shows left and right. They have continued to be one of the hottest shows around. We caught them last year at the Fox Theater in Oakland and it was a magical night. We were able to catch them perform at BottleRock Napa this past weekend and they dominated the Verizon Stage. We didn’t think they could top that performance and yet they did. Last night they played at the August Hall in San Francisco to a packed venue. The show sold out almost immediately after it went on sale. The night kicked off with a spectacular set from Jane Leo. The crowd was well warmed up and then continued to erupt in cheers and went wild when they hit the stage. From that moment on, Cannons held the audience captive with their mesmerizing set. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: We hope you get a chance to catch them out on tour. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date [Read More]
