From Big Sur to the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Monterey Bay area has always been a place musicians like to play, and sometimes stay. Michael Nesmith, Joan Baez, the Doobie Brothers, Neil Young and others have been our neighbors...
not to mention Doris Day and Paul Anka.
We also had some great local bands like the Wylie Band, Snail,
Sons of Champlin, the Humans and so many more.
Here's a few we just happen to have early recordings of.
