What we’re about
Meet other local fans of jazz, blues, and world music while enjoying live performances by top-notch musicians.
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to an amazing live music scene, with an assortment of venues that provide an intimate and affordable way to experience music as it's meant to be: spontaneous, inventive, and alive.
There's so much music happening in the Bay Area, there is something available every weekend for every taste and budget.
So join us, and use this Meetup group to connect with other music fans. We're mainly about listening to live jazz, but we also post blues shows, as well as tango, flamenco, world music, and cross-genre. In addition, we occasionally post theater events and films that have a music-related plotline or other "hook."
If you know about a show you'd like to see listed, feel free to suggest the event to Meetup organizers for hosting, or you can post the show on the "Discussions" page and invite your fellow Meetup members to attend with you.
Hope to see you at an upcoming show!

See all- Juke Joint at Riggers Loft!Riggers Loft Wine Company-R&B Cellars, Richmond, CA
We last saw Juke Joint in February, so it's time for another hit! Riggers Loft is our bi-monthly hangout by the edge of the SF Bay, on their patio with 180° views. Great place to chat, gaze out, dance, eat and drink. We usually group and line dance; can't dance -- just wiggle ;-) Riggers Loft is mainly a wine distributor; the live music is a venture of love.

Meetup is a social organization not an event calendar. If you tend to not join the social part, you will be dropped from the group. In general, our members are avid jazz fans, middle age and up, enjoy socializing with food and drink, and we show-up on time. Please have good intentions when you rsvp; 'No-Shows' are no good. If your plans have changed please select Edit RSVP at bottom of page to take yourself off the Attendee List.
Riggers Loft has a fine wine selection and limited menu. As a warehouse it is not entirely handicap accessible. It is pet friendly. This is an outdoor venue but if it rains/windy/cold they'll move us indoors. Please bring cash to tip the musicians.
