*Wally to play another showcase gig with Jerry Hannan @ The Mint*
In July, Wally Ingram played two shows with Jerry Hannan/Chris Haugen supporting Gregg Allman at The Independent in San Francisco, California. The shows were GREAT they have decided to book another showcase gig @ The Mint in Los Angeles, California on October 21. SoCal music fans, come out & show your support! Jerry Hannan is an amazing songwriter & performer & Wally is excited to collaborate with him.

Jerry Hannah Bio: A genuine songwriter and performer to boot. Recently, Hannan recorded his own song, 'Society' with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, which is featured in Sean Penn's film "Into the Wild". "I Thought I Was You", written by Jerry and brother Sean Hannan also plays in "Into the Wild." In 2003, Jerry recorded his second CD "Sounds Like a Story". A new song "DaDaDa" from the CD was featured in the film "The Pledge" (Jack Nicholson). He performed in Sam Shepard's play, "The Late Henry Moss," at San Francisco's Theatre on the Square (along with Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Cheech Marin and Woody Harrelson). He also appeared as a raucous singer who offsets a romantic conversation between Harry Connick Jr and Sarah Jessica Parker. in Sony Picture's "Life Without Dick". Described as "shades of Dylan, John Prine and Van Morrison...very Americana with a faint Irish lilt", Hannan's songs (like those of Springsteen, Steve Earle and Cat Stevens) speak of our everyday lives and the magic that we sometimes miss. He's a storyteller who loves to stir the crowd. He has been called a "three chord wizard," with guitar, lyrics and harmonica, often funny, sardonic in a good-natured way, dealing with issues like ecology, friendship, love, and what he calls an backward society. Raised on jigs and ballads in San Francisco's Irish community, Jerry Hannan grew up listening to the music of his Irish-born parents (The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers), as well as Cat Stevens. As a youngster he took accordion lessons, switching to guitar in high school and playing in rock 'n roll bands. Hannan has just finished recording "Wild Card", an un-plugged solo record which will feature his latest gems including his own version of SOCIETY.

*Richie Hayward Benefit Concert - October 4th @ The Canyon Club*

Legendary "Little Feat" drummer Richie Hayward has been diagnosed with liver cancer. In the coming year he will have to undergo many costly treatments and eventually a liver transplant. Richie's illness has forced him to take an indefinite leave of absence from the band that has been such a huge part of his life for almost 40 years. As a consequence, he is receiving no income, and he has no health insurance. To help ease Richie's financial burnden, there will be a benefit concert on Sunday, October 4th to help raise much-needed money for Richie & his family.
