The Bay Area Music Tribute Mural is an ambitious project that celebrates the vibrant musical heritage of the greater San Francisco/Oakland area. This large-scale outdoor public mural will honor 200 musicians and bands from various genres and eras who have contributed to the region’s vibrant music scene.

This will be the second mural in the Sounds of Our Town local music tribute project, created by Jason Savage Images. We completed the Portland Music Mural in the summer of 2023. Now our team is gearing up to create something special in San Francisco.
