The Electric Squeezebox Orchestra (ESO) is the Bay Area’s own 17-piece composer’s big band, led by trumpeter Erik Jekabson and playing music written and arranged by its members. The composers and arrangers, some of the very best in the Bay, draw from a wide range of influences and create music with groove, beauty, and subtlety. The ESO also features resident poet Avotcja in its performances, fusing spoken word with dynamic and provocative compositions.

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.
