A Night of Songs and Stories with Tim Flannery and The Lunatic Fringe

Throughout his baseball career, Tim Flannery had his guitar in hand. His uncle, Hal Smith—hero of the 1960 World Series with the Pittsburgh Pirates—was one of Flan’s earliest baseball and musical influences. “He was also a songwriter and carried a Gibson J 35 everywhere," says Flannery. "I grew up never knowing you couldn’t do both.”

Flan has three World Series Championship rings as a third-base coach with the San Francisco Giants, and he has released 14 albums of original music over the years.

Flan writes songs about his family roots, love, and the surrender that comes when you understand some things are out of your control. He writes about baseball and being on the road, the call of the highway, and the beacon of home. He has an ace band, the Lunatic Fringe, that bring his songs roaring to life in various musical genres like bluegrass, country, and rock.

He and his wife, Donna, created the Love Harder Project, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to anti-bullying and funded by proceeds from his performances and public donations.

In 2020, Flannery developed a life-threatening staph infection, but after two of the hardest months of his life was able to recover at home with help from his ever-loving family. Tim Flannery is now healthier than ever and booking shows with his band. There's no doubt you're hear stories of life on the road with the San Francisco Giants, as well as a full evening of music, picked from his prolific repertoire of studio albums.

Don't miss this opportunity to see a San Francisco favorite up close and personal.
