Tim Flannery & Lunatic Fringe

Tim Flannery & Lunatic Fringe play Humphreys Backstage Live on Thursday, October 15, with the show running from 6 PM to 10 PM. It's part of the venue's Thursday live-music nights, so it falls right in the middle of the week rather than the weekend.

What they bring is a mix of country, rock, and bluegrass, and they're the only act on the bill. If you're not familiar, that's a wide enough spread to cover a lot of ground in one set—the twang of bluegrass, the drive of country, and the heavier edge of rock all in the same night. It's the kind of set that doesn't stay in one place for long.

Humphreys Backstage Live is an intimate, lounge-style room at the Humphreys Half Moon Inn on Shelter Island, just west of Point Loma. It's one of the spots that books nightly performances by nationally known artists and top local bands across dance, blues, jazz, and more, and it sits steps from Humphreys Restaurant and the seasonal Humphreys Concerts by the Bay. The whole place pairs a waterfront dinner-and-dancing vibe with craft cocktails and SoCal microbrews, and the room itself anchors Shelter Island's bayside nightlife. It's a good spot to settle in for the evening, especially since the show runs for four hours.

So, if you're in the mood for a night of country, rock, and bluegrass, Tim Flannery & Lunatic Fringe will be at Humphreys Backstage Live on Thursday, October 15, from 6 PM to 10 PM.
