San Anselmo's Jared Baird, drummer and songwriter, teamed up with Portland's René Planchon to compose a music that was both true to 70's rock fusion pioneers like Jerry Garcia, Steely Dan, and Herbie Hancock and distinctly resonant today. Their EP "Titmouse!" was released in December 2022. The band that was born out of it features some of the most compelling players in the Bay Area. Anchored by Timmy Stabler (SPELLING and Sour Widows) and Stacy Starkweather (Trey Anastasio), the band is co-lead by Jared Baird on drums and vocals and San Francisco's Chili Corder (Chill Clinton). The wild card is the 1977 Fender Rhodes manned by the mercurial hermit-wizard of SF, Parker Grant. Titmouse has performed in San Francisco, Fairfax, and Point Richmond.
