For the past three decades, Marin entrepreneur Jeff Harriman has presented live music — from local bands and touring acts to some of the biggest names in rock, reggae and hip-hop — at his Mystic Theatre in Petaluma.
“We’ve looked around to all our friends and family and couldn’t find anybody willing to take it over, so we said, let’s just put it out there and see if we can find someone simpatico with what we’ve been trying to do and continue it,” he says. “Someone may want to tweak it here or there, which is fine. But my main thing is I’d like to see it continue kind of like it is if we can.”
“He said if we build it, he will come. And he did,” says O’Donnell, operating partner of the theater and restaurant. At 64, running a large operation like McNear’s and the Mystic for 36 years has been long enough for him. He’s looking forward to retiring from the six-day-a-week grind, spending more time with his grandkids and at his vacation home on a Caribbean island off the coast of Honduras.
Shennon O’Donnell remembers working backstage with bands as a gofer and hospitality person when she was still a teenager, getting a kick out of meeting one of her reggae idols, Jimmy Cliff. “My whole family has worked here over the years,” she says. “It’s definitely a mixed bag of emotions. I consider this building and this place as part of our family. It’s been a staple of my life. My heart is with this beautiful thing we’ve created and nurtured and taken care of. It’s definitely a big part of my heart and my history.”
