A Night In San Francisco At The Saloon
Last month I played a gig at the infamous San Francisco dive The Saloon with Ron Hacker, one of my regular bandleaders and a staple of the Bay Area blues scene. While loading drum cases into the venue, I was surprised to discover an entire film crew setting up inside. I soon discovered that they were there to begin shooting material for an upcoming full-length documentary about Hack.

Last weekend Hack sent me a link to the clip above, which the producer put together as a teaser for the full-length production. I’ve had plenty of fans take homemade videos at my gigs, but have rarely seen a production that looks this professional.
