Sonoma County Dance Beat

Sonoma County Dance Beat was created in 2014 by local dancers, Kevin and Ann Hutchinson, to provide a comprehensive calendar for dancers to find live music to dance to in Sonoma County.

Sonoma County Dance Beat is now much more than an online calendar. Kevin and Ann’s love of dancing to local, live music is at the heart of the organization. Everything they do leads back to the one, central theme: supporting live, local dance music.

We exist to strengthen and support the Sonoma County live music scene.

We support Sonoma County musicians and venues by providing invaluable resources,
which begins with a comprehensive calendar for dancers and music lovers to find them.

The SCDB calendar includes most live music events in the county, where dancing is allowed (though it may be on the lawn or between tables). Sonoma County Dance Beat never lists second-hand information. The events come straight from the venues and musicians.  The calendar provides more information about the venues, when clicking on the name of the venue in the listing, including other upcoming live music events there. Updates are done often, for additions and corrections, throughout the month.

We match musicians with venues
We are known and respected by bands, organizers, booking agents and venue owners. This makes booking assistance a natural fit. We help bands find new venues and help venues find bands.

We promote best practices among live-music lovers and dancers (tip the band, support the venue by ordering food/drink, etc.)

Other services/events:

  • Live music, dance lessons and emcee services for wedding receptions and other events
  • Private dance lessons by appointment, group lessons at events
  • Marketing copy for musicians/venues
  • Consulting services for musicians (stage presence, press kit, marketing strategies)

What Fans Are Saying

I've really appreciated the support received from Sonoma County Dance Beat. Both as a solo performer, and with my band 'Z and The Benders,' Sonoma County Dance Beat's recommendations and referrals have been a great source in keeping me up to date with what's going on in live music throughout the North Bay. Dancers, listeners, singers, musicians, and bands—all benefit from this great organization. Thank you Sonoma County Dance Beat…I'm a supporter! ~ Mike Z (Mike Zalkaske), musician

What a terrific web page! I don't know how many times I've had to wade through the internet, trying in vain to see who was playing and where. Your coverage is better than any I've seen online. ~ Larry Natalini, musician

I just wanna thank you both for having such a wonderful and complete list of dance venues! Happy dancin'! Love you guys! ~ Merrill Dellas, dancer
