Bay Area Bridges: A Residency

“Not only is RDL+ continuing to build bridges between disparate Bay Area musical communities and genres, but now they’re building bridges through time too – back to those Sundays at Studio Grand and forward into unknown musical territories.”

Bay Area Bridges is a series curated by RDL+ which celebrates the Bay Area and brings together the most interesting and ground-breaking voices that need to be heard and reckoned with. Shows include music written and presented by RDL+ as well as other innovative artists, and breaks new ground in modern music.
