Description
Band Wagon- Regional Music Competition:San Francisco’s indie rock and art scene will merge on Sunday July 11th in a show
to benefit Musicians for Peace & The Equilibrium Institute of the Americas from 1
P.M. till 10 P.M. The event held at 133 Beale Street is a pre-demolition celebration
for the beloved venue, which is set to be destroyed to make way for a high-rise! After
over 20 years, Beale Street Bar and Grill is moving to a new location on Minna Street
in downtown San Francisco. Rob, the producer behind RipStar’s Bands that Rock
program, boosts, “Toni runs one of the last strong-holds for authentic music in the city
that still has reasonable terms for working artists.” While the new venue Beale Street
is moving into is being built out, Rob and his crew focus their scopes on filing for non-
profit status with the I.R.S. Rob states, “being an official non-profit will help land more
sponsors so that we can continue serving artists.”
The talent making it onto shows and on the Bands to watch list are of merit and Rob
says, “Ripstar provides opportunities through radio spinning, live events, and networking
for acts to get more attention from the public and in some cases from our industry allies.
Slowly, but surely, people are catching on.”
