Tim Flannery & Friends

Aboard The Star of India. Annual event returns to the Maritime Museum of San Diego

“Flan” has spent more than thirty years in the Major Leagues as baseball analyst for the MLB Network and currently as a broadcaster for NBC Bay Area Sports. He has consistently toured and played shows in support of his original music. The music now also serves another purpose: every cent from CD sales, merchandise, and ticket sales benefits his non-profit, the Love Harder Project, for anti-bullying and anti-violence programs across the country.

Flan is currently performing and booking dates to support his 14th album, “The Light” which is a journey to find hope, faith, love, and light in a world where darkness seems easier to see.
