The Fish Tank is excited to host The Four Muses' third "Hoot" (short for "hootenanny") on October 20! Before the Coach House, the Four Muses in San Clemente was THE place to see music acts perform live in south Orange County. Jonathan Morgan Jenkins, one of three sons of Mary and Jim Jenkins, founders of The Four Muses, is bringing back the "Hoots" in order to showcase local talent....like the originals!
In the early '60s Mary Jenkins, Jonathan's mom, taught guitar lessons to local kids in San Clemente, with the students often performing in their living room along with other up-and-coming musicians. They outgrew the living room and in 1965 moved to a music lesson center on Avenida de la Estrella in San Clemente. They soon expanded to three spaces in the building, one of which was The Four Muses folk-rock music club. Performances, also held at San Clemente High School, included artists who later rose to stardom, such as Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Glenn Frey, Taj Majal, Corky Carroll, Hoyt Axton, Honk, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Martin, Gordon Lightfoot, John Stewart and The Sandals, who provided the musical score for the documentary film, Endless Summer. Sadly, The Four Muses era ended in 1975, but many lives have been changed by their experiences with The Four Muses.
Jonathan is recreating the Hootenanny nights at The Fish Tank, using a similar model of several musicians each playing a few songs. The first Hoot was attended by many fans and participants of the originals...like a Four Muses reunion, with hugs and plenty of shared memories! We invite you to join The Four Muses community at The Fish Tank.
