Early show with Jerry Hannan Friday

Jerry Hannan is playing a special set Friday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. at Cafe Zoe in Menlo Park.
The show is all ages, with a $10 cover. Sounds like a story, and or a good excuse to eat both pistachio popsicles and Marianne’s ice cream. Plus host Kathleen Daly is a real fine person, you’d like to meet her. And Earthwise@20 — this is the second show of a potential ongoing engagement there over the creek from Palo Alto, following the Holiday event with Rachel Garlin and Curtis McMurtry. I measure Cafe Zoe’s exact location as less than a mile from either Four Seasons or the Varsity, if that puts it on a cultural map as well.

Jerry Hannan is to stage and film what Harry Dean Stanton is to music, if you catch my drift. (And indeed they both have a connection to Sam Shepherd).

Jerry’s music and stage presence is too distinct and self-evident to further sully with a list of names dropped and associations. Trust me. Or use the search engines.

Terry and I saw Jerry recently at Rancho Nicasio in West Marin(he sang we ate) and then at The Slanted Door at The Ferry Building (we all ate, after WCL).

Cafe Zoe is at 1929 Menalto in Menlo Park -experts take the Chaucer St bridge from Palo Alto. Venue phone is 322-1926 and my phone is 305-0701.
