Singer/Songwriter, Jerry Hannan, is the founder and leader of the Mad Hannan’s which he launched with his brother Sean Hannan in 1996 with their first album “Madly in Love With You” which became a local cult tradition. A distinguished songwriter, Jerry Hannan wrote and recorded his song, “Society” with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, which is featured in Sean Penn’s film “Into the Wild”.  

Described as “shades of Dylan and John Prine …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, known for his thought provoking lyrics and exuberant performances. He has been called a Marin County treasure, often funny, sardonic in a good-natured way, highlighting issues like ecology, friendship, and love.
