US: West Norcal people get in here

[boamedt]

I thought it would be cool to get a list together of tb users in norcal. It can serve various uses like being able to share when/where your band is gigging, maybe social media accounts to follow the local bands and get a bigger following. I know i am more apt to see a band if i know someone in it. So everyone say san jose and north into the bay and into sonoma/napa/marin county come and check in say hi, tell us if you have any gigs comin up.

 

[boamedt]

I will start. My name is Jeremy and i live in rohnert park. I have a band going but we are not gigging yet. Still working on material and final polishing before we set out. I currently run a ibanez srf705 running through my mesa subway di>crest prolite 3.0>fearful 12/6. May be adding a jule monique to the roster

 

[Matt Dean]

I’ll play... I’m in three bands: one hippy reggae called Bear Bones; a trip hop acid doom band called Ants With Egos; and a NOLA style funk rock band called HooDoo.

This is my gig rig...

Hello from sunny Santa Rosa!

 

[Richard Lindsey]

I'm based in Pinole, in the East Bay (Contra Costa County). Somehow I find myself playing a lot of Brazilian music lately, though I've done my share of rock, jazz, and other stuff over the years. I'm playing Braz stuff at Riggers Loft in Richmond on Friday 9/20 from 6 to 9 and again on Saturday 9/21 at the Albatross Pub in Berkeley from 9:30 to 12:30.

Jon Shuker 6-string, usually into a Quilter BB800 or Genzler Magellan MG350 through some flavor of Acme (B-1 or B-2). I also sometimes use a MAS 1,8. (Probably obvious that I'm into small, light gear these days.)

Hey Bay Area peoples,
My band, Gene Washington & The Sweet Sounds, will be at Eli’s Mile High, Oakland this Friday, September 20th if you’re interested. We’re gonna be opening for Scone Cash Players celebrating the release of their new single on Daptone Records.

Hi, NorCal here. Guerneville, specifically.

 

[woodyng2]

Bay Area isn’t North Cali. Just saying.
Until recently I was with Monogroove in Crescent City, Ca. (About 25 miles from the Cali-Oregon border).

Ha! I hear you. But, from what I understand REALLY Northern California is like a totally different state.

Yep, Redwoods, and necks.

 

[Bighouse]

I've seen mention of "clubs" for locations and areas of interest here- how does one find and join these clubs?

 

[woodyng2]

I’ve mostly found them by chance, but there is a search function on here that might help.
