Cracker came back into the mainstream this year when the first single, "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out With Me", from their Sunshine in the Land of Milk and Honey CD hit the Billboard charts. Cracker and the reconvened Camper Van Beethoven have been playing a series of double-bills which kicked off in California right after Christmas and the two bands' Traveling Apothecary Show hits the Highline Ballroom on Jan. 15th.

Cracker, featuring co-founders David Lowery (vocals/ guitar) and Johnny Hickman (lead guitar / vocals), along with bassist Sal Maida (Roxy Music / Sparks) and drummer Frank Funaro (The Dictators / Joey Ramone / Del Lords). Camper Van Beethoven, whose recent best-of album Popular Songs of Great Enduring Strength and Beauty was released last year as part of their 25th Anniversary as a band, features David Lowery (vocals / guitar) and original bandmates Greg Lisher (lead guitar), Jonathan Segel (violin / guitar) and Victor Krummenacher (bass) along with Cracker’s Funaro on drums.





This show is all-ages; tickets are $22 in advance and $25 at the door. Door time is at 7PM and the show starts at 8:30PM.
