The Sheriff of Mars /Daniel Antopolksy

https://danielantopolsky.com/ “The Sheriff of Mars” explores the life of Daniel Antopolsky, a 65 year old from Augusta, Georgia, who gave up the opportunity to become a Country & Folk singer in order to escape the craziness of the 1970s Outlaw Country Music scene. Having been on a tumultuous journey, he’s never stopped writing songs. And at an age when most people are retiring, he’s recorded his first album with two of Nashville’s Grammy nominated producers and some of the best musicians in the world. But it hasn’t been easy. “The Sheriff of Mars” will follow Daniel’s turbulent life as a Jewish boy from the Deep South, to touring and playing in his early 20s with the legendary Townes Van Zandt, then retreating to South East Asia until he found a “conventional” life with a wife and twin daughters on a farm near Bordeaux, France. 400 songs and 40 years later, “The Sheriff of Mars” will explore sex, drugs, religion, the wild life, loss and redemption, dreams and hopes, the soul of Country Music, and the importance of chickens and tractors.
