The Jerry Hannan Band (Album Release Party)

The Inn at Occidental Sunset Concert Series is proud to present acclaimed singer/songwriter Jerry Hannan. This event will celebrate the release of the band's new album, Waking the Ghosts - Live from Marshall Tavern. Jerry will be accompanied by the same esteemed band that recorded the live album featuring guitarist Erik Smyth, Keyboardist Matt Meblin, bassist Angeline Saris, and drummer JT John.

Jerry Hannan is the founder and leader of the Mad Hannan's which he launched with his brother Sean Hannan in 1996 with their first album "Madly in Love With You" which became a local cult tradition. A distinguished songwriter, Jerry Hannan wrote and recorded his song, "Society" with Pearl Jams Eddie Vedder, which is featured in Sean Penn's film "Into the Wild".

Described as "shades of Dylan and John Prine ...very Americana with a faint Irish lilt", Hannan's songs (like those of Springsteen, Steve Earle and Cat Stevens) speak of our everyday lives and the magic that we sometimes miss. He's a storyteller, known for his thought provoking lyrics and exuberant performances. He has been called a Marin County treasure, often funny, sardonic in a good-natured way, highlighting issues like ecology, friendship, and love.
