Former San Francisco Giants third base coach Tim Flannery, a three-time World Series Champion, will appear with his band, The Lunatic Fringe, Satur- day, March 21 at the Red- ding Civic Auditorium. Flannery chose Red- ding as a stop on his "Love Harder Tour" for a spe- cial evening of songs and stories, featuring a mix of bluegrass, punk, folk, coun- try, Celtic and Americos- mic. Flannery's music has been influenced by greats such as Gram Parsons, The Louvin Brothers, Grateful Dead, Bill Monroe, Jack- son Browne, Merle, Willie and Waylon. After 30 years in the Ma- jor Leagues, Flannery is now pursuing his other life passion, music. Singing and playing has sustained Flan nearly all of his life. From singing in church to singing on the porch with family, this Irishman was raised on Ralph Stanley, as well as the California country of Merle Haggard and oth- ers. Flannery has recorded 11 albums, has an all-star band and for about 15 years has relished his music gigs in the off-season with as much gusto as windmill- ing a player around third to score. In 2011, something shifted for Flannery and his music. It was that year, on opening day of the base- ball season, when Bryan Stow, a Giants fan, was bru- tally beaten in Los Angeles. Flan followed Stow's recov- ery and came to know the Stow family very well. Flan began using his music as a way to help. Proceeds from his shows and CD sales went to Stow's family to supple- ment the financial respon- sibilities involved in caring for Bryan. In 2014, Flannery presented the Stows with a check for $96,000, money that was raised during that off-season from concerts, CD sales and donations. "It felt like this great op- portunity to let the fam- ily know that people are still thinking about them," Flannery said. "More than anything, it allows them to know that people still care, people still think about them. That has always been the story — everybody else showing up and giving of themselves. I play the music. It inspires me to just keep doing it. It's not that diffi- cult for me doing what I al- ways do." Tickets are available at the Redding Civic Audito- rium box office, online at www.reddingcivic.com,orby calling 229-0022. Box Office hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
