Hang Jones Plays SF Hootenanny Obama Fundraiser

October 7th 2008 in Americana, Fundraiser, alt.country

Hey Bay Area fans of roots rock and Democracy (remember that?) local roots musician Hang Jones (alias Stephen Grillos) will bejoining Calaveras, Go Van Gogh and Bhi Bhiman this Saturday at SF Hootenanny’s Fundraiser for Barack Obama. The show will be at Café International(McCain is going to make hay of this as soon as he trains Palin how to pronounce it), the show is free to get in and the hat will be passed, all proceeds to the Obama campaign.  It starts early, and I will be on at 7PM.

It remains to be seen if Grillos has penned an ode directly for Obama ala John Rich’s “Raisin’ McCain.”

Beautiful weather (despite some early afternoon mist), the crowd grew throughout the day into huge throngs of passionate fans.  You want crazy hippy dancers still bummed about the Dead’s….er death, yeah they were there too.

The day started for me with Tift Merritt. Tift put on a spirited show with a crack band. Moving to Paris (and losing her record deal) [...]
