| "A listen to
Flannery's music is like thumbing through an old scrapbook. Particularly in concert, he
draws you in, with messages and a spirit that are universal. It's rare that someone gets
two distinct opportunities to shine in the spotlight..." - Sign On San Diego
"Tim is like a two-sport star with
his music and baseball... and he can do it well."

Like California’s Santa
Ana winds, the journey that has led Tim Flannery to this point in his life has been
equally constant and unpredictable.
Take baseball. A constant presence in his life since childhood, the game’s blustery
days and calm nights have shifted him, comforted him and ultimately have brought him to a
new and unexpected turn. After 25 years with the San Diego Padres organization (from
player to minor league manager to coach to broadcaster), Flannery will don a San Francisco
Giants uniform this year as third base coach in his quest to fulfill the dream of being a
World Series champion.
Take music. Also a constant presence in his life since childhood, he probably had a guitar
in his hand before a baseball glove. Harmonies, melodies and lyrics course through his
veins like tornado marking its path. Throughout his on & off seasons, music travelled
with him from Florida to Fiji and back home to San Diego. He calls on his family’s
deep history, lonely nights on the road and the pervasive love of the game to write his
songs.
Welcome “The Wayward Wind,” Flannery’s 8th album in 12 years. Flannery
seamlessly weaves his own experiences of life, love and loss into the already well-made
quilt known as California country music. You might find it hard to distinguish the
originals from the covers on this heartfelt album as he honors the music of Merle Haggard
and Neil Young among others. Flannery teamed up with musician/producer Jeff Berkley for a
third time to make this album and you can count on all the Enablers being in the mix
including Doug Pettibone, Dennis Caplinger, Berkley himself, Calman Hart and Randi
Driscoll. You’ll also get to hear from some old and new friends in Dani Carroll and
Barbara Nesbitt.
Shifting winds, daily doses of living, America’s pastime, and a soundtrack for it
all. Tim Flannery relies on the constant unpredictability of weather, life, baseball and
music. |
