About Great American Music Hall (GAMH)

San Francisco's oldest and grandest nightclub, the Great American Music Hall carries guests back to an earlier, more elegant era, with its ornate balconies, soaring marble columns and elaborate ceiling frescoes. Long-time customers and newcomers alike feel at home in the 5,000-square-foot concert hall that symbolized renewal and optimism when it opened in 1907. Today, a professional sound and lighting system, two full bars, a modern kitchen and a spacious oak dance floor help to blend contemporary quality with turn-of-the-century graciousness.

Brett Constantino of Sleepy Sun
Weird and Simple
By Matt Crawford (06/04/2009)

" After spending most of this year touring the U.S. and Europe and recording new songs, Sleepy Sun vocalist Brett Constantino is regrouping in the shadow of the Sierras, shoveling dirt and working on landscaping projects on his parents’ property. “It’s so beautiful up here,” he says. “It’s a different kind of paradise.” What’s next? More touring this summer, more recording and eventually maybe enough money to afford a permanent residence, Costantino says. But first, a celebration of the official release of the band’s debut album, Embrace, at Great American Music Hall on June 19th. "

Rocking Like a Hurricane
By Matt Crawford (05/26/2009)

" Rock ’n’ roll is alive and well with King Khan and the Shrines, the Berlin-based outfit that returns to San Francisco with its big-band psychedelic boogie March 28th at Great American Music Hall. Khan spoke with SF Station shortly after his tour started during a phone interview from New York. "

Band on the Run
By Matt Crawford (04/23/2009)

" Sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll are part of San Francisco’s DNA, but, as the Black Lips recently found out, those founding principles still meet persistent opposition in distant locales. The Atlanta-based quartet recently fled India under the threat of arrest after a rowdy show caught the ire of local police. They bring their stripped-down (literally) rock to Great American Music Hall on April 30th. Bassist Jared Swilley spoke with SF Station about touring overseas, recreational use of prescription cough syrup and collaborations with members of the Wu Tang Clan during a phone interview from Atlanta.
