But in all honesty, all of these aspects of his life overlap, making it hard to discern where one ends and another begins. Regardless which role he’s in, Tim “Flan” Flannery is a storyteller and one of the last of the old dogs. Flan has released 14 albums. His 2019 release, The Light , presents 11 tracks of original music drenched in real life experiences that have led Flan through darkness, pain, and disappointment to find peace and hope in today’s sometimes confusing human climate. "The Last of the Old Dogs", released in 2017, gave life to new stories about the characters he’s met over the years on the road, while also delivering important messages about love, work, being an outlaw, and knowing when to fight for what you believe in. With a voice as smooth as Kentucky bourbon and a heart worn on both sleeves, Flan’s performances ebb and flow with brilliant melodies and soaring harmonies. As a talented and prolific singer/songwriter, his music enjoys radio support across the planet, from the shores of Ireland to beach towns up and down the California coast, and he has been joined onstage by the likes of Jackson Browne, Bruce Hornsby, Garth Brooks, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Weir and many others.

As one of Southern California’s most prolific producers, Jeff has shaped countless records across multiple genres, elevating the voices of emerging and established artists alike. His ability to capture raw emotion and authenticity in the studio has made him a sought-after producer and mentor. In 1999, Jeff won the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Songwriters award in Texas, joining the ranks of past winners like Jerry Jeff Walker, Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Lindsay White.
