Jazz, electronic music, poetry, Maker's Mark, afrobeat, fusion, fission, all things beatnik, world music and anything else that celebrates life through sound.
Technically, SMF is the airport code for Sacramento. Musically, it's just a name to tie in the contributions of Sacramento area jazz and improvising musicians. This site has links to a local calendar of creative music shows (including a weekly MONDAY NIGHT concert at the Java Lounge in downtown, Sacramento), songs posted from area shows, and youtube videos of the regional players.
Northern California houses some of the finest improvisers anywhere. This page is here to help promote and celebrate the Jazz (modern, post-modern), Electronic, World and other "in the moment" music makers.
Check back often for show updates and songs/pics from the series. For info on the Java Lounge go to www.myspace.com/javalounge.
Hello humans---long time no see. NO I have not been in prison...just busy with writing songs and working full-full time. Hope to catch some acts soon ! Cheers !
It's simple (seriously) - and it's free! The key SacLights difference is that we’re 100% local. Your local audience can now easily find and listen to your latest work, then go to your next show.
Just register as anyone else would, set your display name to your band name, then:
∙ Post your music, videos, show listings, show fliers, pictures ∙ Have your tracks in the site-wide radio player of local musicians with links to your band’s profile ∙ Find, listen, and message other local musicians ∙ Notify 'friends' of upcoming shows ∙ Keep a blog ∙ It's also easy to link to your myspace, lastfm or other websites.
From now through most of February your registration also gets you a chance to win an iPhone, so stop reading and register, ya dig?! ..
