TL;DR

Brian wants you to go out and hear live events more often.

He’s built a free tool for you to use.

The Bay Area has an amazing live music and event scene — and so does Santa Cruz, just over the hill. Don’t sit at home, don’t go to the same-old, GET OUT THERE.

This is a very inclusive list of over 400 sources and venues across the bay area and Santa Cruz County, and all their events.

Now more than ever. Go connect with humans.
