Johnny T is back in San Francisco — and he's bringing the records.

A veteran of the city's underground scene, John held a beloved residency at Devil's Acre where he built a following with his deep crates and an ear for the unexpected. Now back in SF with his new band Johnny, he's stepping behind the decks at Swig for a night of all-vinyl 60s rock, soul, and disco glam.

Swig is proud to present our next exhibit “Manic Mask” a solo show by Fresno-based artist Goku McAfee who will be exhibiting a collection of new paintings and hanging ceramic works that explore themes of mental health—particularly revolving around Goku’s own experiences living with bipolar disorder and ADHD. A regular fixture in the San Francisco art community, this will be Goku’s first solo exhibit in the city since 2023.

The opening reception will take place Friday, March 13th, from 5-9pm, and the collection will then remain on view until Sunday, April 5th. Throughout the duration of the exhibit, viewing hours are during SWIG’s happy hour from 5-9pm on Wednesdays through Sundays. 

For any and all inquiries about the work available in this collection, please contact John at mothbellygallery@gmail.com

Artist Statement:

The work in this show includes a selection of recent paintings and ceramic pieces. The paintings are more personal than what I’ve done before. They deal with my mental health — living with bipolar disorder and ADHD — and the way certain thoughts or moods can feel bigger than me. A devil-like figure shows up throughout the work. It represents a part of myself I used to push outside of me, and now try to understand by painting it. When I first started making art, I called myself a “Super Funk Expressionist.” I didn’t know anything about art history — I just meant that I wanted to feel first, think later, and not be afraid to mess things up and keep going. Later on, I learned that my mentor and close friend Richard Silva, who studied under Joan Brown, was connected to the Bay Area Figurative movement. That kind of honest, emotional painting still influences me.

The ceramic masks and figures grew out of my time working with Stan Bitters as both an assistant and apprentice. Being in his studio changed how I see clay — it’s physical, direct, and about process. Stan’s background connects to Peter Voulkos and the energy of West Coast ceramics, which ties into that same California lineage of experimentation. Some of the pieces are raku-fired, others traditionally fired, but they all connect back to the same idea — different faces, different states, different versions of the self. Altogether, the work reflects where I am right now: still learning, still experimenting, and trying to make sense of what’s going on inside. - Goku McAfee

John Greene was a beloved Bay Area musician, a familiar face in the local music community, and a cornerstone of Chum — the Bay Area's beloved Phish cover band. We lost him to cancer late last year, and his presence is deeply missed by all who knew him.

On this night, we come together to celebrate his life, his music, and the joy he brought to everyone around him.

Join us at Swig from 8PM to midnight, where Chum will take the stage alongside some of John's closest friends for a night of music, memory, and community.

Come share a drink, a story, and a song. 🎸

In loving memory of John Greene.
