The Great American Music Hall is a concert hall in San Francisco, California. It is located on O'Farrell Street in the Tenderloin neighborhood on the same block as the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater. It is known for its decorative balconies, columns, and frescoes and for its history of unique entertainment, which has included burlesque dancing as well as jazz, folk music, and rock'n'roll concerts. The capacity of the hall is 600 people.HistoryBlanco's and Music BoxThe hall was established in 1907 during the period of rebuilding that followed the 1906 earthquake. Its interior was designed by a French architect. It was originally called Blanco's, after a notorious Barbary Coast house of prostitution.In 1936, Sally Rand, known for her fan dance and bubble dance acts, acquired the property and branded it the Music Box. It closed with the end of World War II, reopened in 1948 as a jazz club that reused the name Blanco's, and in the 1950s the building was used by members of the Loyal Order of the Moose. The venue went into a long decline that nearly resulted in the demolition of the building.

Parking here is metered or 1-hour during the day, and impossible at night, so we recommend arriving by public transit or bicycle. If you must drive, unregulated parking within a 5-10 minute walk can be found at: Heron Alley, Gordon Alley (behind Stud bar), 10th & Bryant, Division St. ONGOING EVENTS: We host a few recurring community events including game jams and life drawing.

There is never a mandatory cover charge to attend, but attendees are expected to tip the performers $10 to defray the cost of travel. There are no food or drinks sold here, but feel free to bring your own. The room acoustics are live, and ideal for unamplified or softly amplified music, so we focus on musicians who would have trouble performing at noisier venues. Bands with medium-amplification are also welcome, but if your music is best hella loud, we might recommend a club instead. For vocals and electric/electronic instruments, we do maintain a house sound system with 4 inputs (let us know if you need more than 2 vox), reverb, subwoofers, but no monitors. TOURING BANDS: We mostly book shows for musicians that we are already familiar with, but if you don't know us yet feel free to send an inquiry to [email protected]. If we don't think we can arrange a suitable bill for you, we will do our best to direct you to other local bands and venues.
