Jon Hammond Trio @ Smiley’s, California – USAby Rob Howard |
After an absence of 8 years, the Jon Hammond Trio returns to Smiley's, Schooner Saloon and Hotel, Bolinas CA, on Saturday July 10th, 9pm. With organist and accordionist Jon Hammond for an evening of funky swingin' jazz and blues music at the historic Smiley's location are Barry Finnerty – guitar, and Jon Otis – drums. The California Historical Society lists Smiley’s as one of only fourteen bars in the state to be in continuous existence for over 100 years. The saloon is believed to have been built in 1851 for the energetic young Captain Isaac Morgan. Captain Morgan arrived in Bolinas (or Jugville as it was known then) in 1849. Those were gold rush days, days of growth. Those were days when one gambled with one’s dreams and then watched them either shatter and splinter or be crafted and honed into realities.
