Music City SF Weeknight Shows

Does anyone have any experience playing at, or attending, one of the weeknight events at Music City San Francisco? My band has been offered a slot at one of the Rock, Country, and Blues Wednesday nights- there's a different theme every night of the week - next month. As it is our first time, we might play either the Main floor or one of the lower, secondary stage. They book multiple bands and acts every week for these shows, at apparently they were asking a $29 cover(!) for these events but admission is free at least now through the end of February.

Anyone attended one of these shows who can shed some light about how they run, what kind of crowd they are getting. Are people checking out the other stages? What's the general vibe? If you are an artist who was booked there, how was your experience at the venue and with the management? Did you have adequate time and space, gear and power issues, anything else we should know?

Thank you

Safe/OK to crossdress at Warfield?

I am thinking of going to see a DJ I like soon at the Warfield. I've never crossedressed in public before, but would love to feel sexy while dancing to music I love – I am not passable, I have masc features and a beard, and would be in basically lingerie...

I know there are clubs in SF more geared toward the LGBTQ+ community, but I'm just curious if anyone knows how common this is at other more mainstream venues in SF.

Also would love to know if anyone has any tips for being safe while going out like this!

Thanks in advance.

Looking for a Semi-affordable recording studio

My band is gearing up to record our second project and we've decided we'd like to do it in a real studio this time (as opposed to DIY). Which Bay Area studio is the best value? We have our own engineer and will definitely need multiple sessions to get everything tracked.

Punk Band Looking for Bassist OR Guitarist

Hey everyone,

I've been having a shockingly difficult time finding a bassist or guitarist to round out my band so trying out reddit! We're currently 2 guitarists and a drummer seeking a bassist OR another guitarist (in which one of us would move to bass if need be).

The music fast/technical/riffy punk. Sort of a mix of A Wilhelm Scream, early Thrice, Grown Ups, and the Lawrence Arms. We have 7 songs we're trying to get down to eventually record and play local shows. Practice 2 or 3 times a month. The bass parts are already written but you'd have a lot of freedom to rewrite what you'd like. The 2nd guitar part is quite set but always some wiggle room.

We're in our 30's and 20's and looking for someone around that general age range. Not sure this is the best place to post this but I am desperate. Happy to send over some rough demos to anyone interested!

Hi everyone,

If you’re a fan of live music, jazz, or just love experiencing incredible performances, I wanted to personally invite you to the Parris Lane Jazz Renaissance happening next Saturday, January 18th, at Geoffrey’s Inner Circle in Oakland.

This isn’t your average show—it’s a cabaret-style evening filled with music, dance, and storytelling that celebrates the rich tradition of jazz and live performance.

Here’s what makes it special:
🎤 Parris Lane – She’s an Emmy-nominated vocalist who blends jazz, R&B, gospel, and even classical show tunes into something truly magical.
💃 Special Guests – Dancers and actors will be performing throughout the night, adding a theatrical flair to the evening.
🎶 KJ the Pied Piper – An award-winning Oakland jazz performer who knows how to move a crowd with his incredible energy.
🎺 Twilight Brass Band – California’s only traditional brass band, led by a native New Orleans bandleader. Their sound is pure magic!

🗓️ Details:

  • When: Saturday, January 18, 2025
  • Where: Geoffrey’s Inner Circle, 410 14th St., Oakland, CA
  • Time: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Doors open at 6:30 PM)
  • Tickets: $30 in advance (on Eventbrite) | $35 at the door

If this sounds like your kind of night, I’d love to see you there! Geoffrey’s is such an iconic venue, and this show is going to be something really special. Feel free to bring your friends or family—it’s going to be a great mix of music, culture, and fun.

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see some of you there!

Seeking other SF bands to build local show

Hey, fellow musicians. I'm looking for other bands in SF with similar sound to build a lineup and approach local venues for gigs. Looking for other bands with pro musicians and can bring in at the very least 25+ fans each. Here's a link to a few of our tunes: https://www.youtube.com/@AbovetheEmbers

Hit me up if you think you are a good fit. Targeting venues like Brick and Mortar, Cafe du Norde and Bottom of the Hill. Let's create a noteworthy show!

Anyone know of any B-52’s tribute acts that play around here?

Their residency in Vegas is a bit rich for my blood.

female vocalist seeks musicians/band

Female vocalist with large vocal range and a voice suitable for jazz as well as other genres seeks musicians/band for collaboration. Here is a jazz sample but we can do originals or covers in a variety of styles: https://shirapotash.bandcamp.com/track/what-you-do Please be in touch with samples of your music and perhaps it can be a match! (I'm based in the East Bay, by the way.)

Zayn- Washington DC

Zayn tickets

Hey guys! I have two Washington DC tickets for Zayn’s concert on Jan 21st. They got rescheduled and I will no longer be able to attend. I thought I could make it work but I can’t. I have tried selling on stubhub but so far nothing. I just want what I paid for. I am not looking to make money off them and overprice them. I want them to go to people that are wanting to go to the concert and missed out on tickets. I am more than willing to provide any proof of purchase and more than happy to provide proof that I am not a scammer. Let me know if you are serious about purchasing them. I am also willing to sell them separately. I am hoping to have better luck on here!(:
