Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Hello Bay Area!

We are putting together an acoustic-only, free admission, all ages music showcase every second Friday at Live Oak Park (Google Maps: Live Oak Area 2), the next one being Friday May 8th, 6pm-7pm. There are 5 performers each doing a couple original songs that have been created without the use of AI.

The mission of the event is that artists don’t need platforms to connect with people and we don’t need apps to connect with each other.
