The Surf Spot Music Venue has only been opened for three months but it has already created a buzz in the Bay Area music scene. The Surf Spot sits in the little coastal town of Pacifica, CA, 10 miles south of San Francisco. This unique outdoor venue has been described as a mini-Shoreline Amphitheater with its lawn seating and grassy hills. The general admission patio area can 200. Along with two cabanas and add in the lawn area, the Surf Spot can hold over 500 people. Shows at the Surf Spot are intimate and that has made things very special.
What is being noticed most about the venue is the lineup of bands that have played and are scheduled to play. Joey Ganoza, the Booking Manager, told us his plan was to make the Surf Spot primarily an original music venue. He wants to showcase emerging Bay Area musicians. He wants the Surf Spot to be a venue where you will be seeing the next big acts in music. Along with local artists the Surf Spot is booking many out of state and out of the country bands on tour.
The Surf Spot is an all ages venue and the majority of the time the shows are free. They have three bars opened during shows along with their Cabana Kitchen. The food is great and they usually have drinks specials during shows. We highly recommend you catch a show at the Surf Spot as we believe it will become a major Bay Area music venue.

. The Surf Spot is a new restaurant and music venue in Pacifica, CA. I was approached by one of the owners, Tait Cowan, to help with the music venue. I’ve pretty much been there since the build out. So, I do a little bit of everything i.e. booking bands, marketing, social media, tons and tons of networking, and whatever the venue throws at me.
