Music scene · San Anselmo

This Marin County town has a relaxed musical character shaped by school ensembles, community sing-alongs, and small acoustic performances. The San Francisco Bay Area sits just across the Golden Gate for bigger stages.

Small coffee shops, church halls, and community rooms host most local music in this Marin town. For paying gigs and larger rooms, musicians usually travel to San Francisco or Oakland.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Bay Area scene occasionally passing through.

Attend community concerts and local open mics, join the school music program, and use nearby San Francisco or Berkeley as a proving ground for original material.
