We're building out the San Francisco Music Hall of Fame, an expansive collection of curated exhibits paying tribute to Bay Area performers and institutions who pioneered sounds that defined generations and became some of the most iconic artist in the world. Much of the historic memorabilia on display has been generously donated by the artists themselves and friends of Music City who share the same passion for honoring the city's musical history.
Got vintage gear, posters, photos, or relics from the scene? We're looking for the treasures tucked in closets, attics, and basements — the moments that shaped the music.
Donate to the San Francisco Music Hall of Fame and let your piece of history inspire generations to come!
MISSION - To become the engine for talent and commerce that drives the rebirth of San Francisco's music culture by cultivating an artist development ecosystem that empowers musicians and performers to thrive in the Bay Area and beyond.
PURPOSE - Music City San Francisco stands as the community to nourish and sustain the future of music in San Francisco as well as the musician, preserving the Bay Area's rich musical history and provide a destination for fans, history buffs, and musicians for generations to come.
a musician's vision
Music City San Francisco is the brainchild of Rudy Colombini, a native San Franciscan with a deep love of music and the city that inspired him. Rudy’s dedication and commitment to creating a place where all people can learn and perform music and art combined with his dream to honor the rich musical history of San Francisco has led him to create this unique network of services.
In 2025, Rudy was awarded the CBS News Bay Area Icon Award for outstanding community service! The award honors community heroes who dedicate their lives to making our San Francisco Bay Area a better place for everyone.
