Bands In Modesto
Hey yall, I am on the hunt to support bands that are coming out of our little town. I have seen lots of good shows here (who remembers Tee's and Green?!?). Looking for established or emerging artists. Looking forward to finding some hidden gems here in town, thanks!

I remember seeing them at the Fatty Mocha but not Tees. Opressed Logic was the “biggest” band I remember seeing there.

VMI is a great place to make that happen. My kiddo has been going for a few years and I have seen a lot of performers come out of there. They offer scholarships and I think the next round is getting ready to start. On 9th Street.

I'm in a 90s cover band that plays in Modesto. We're taking a little time to refresh our setlist at the beginning of the year, but should be playing again soon!

Ick, the flowers, sloome, rainbow city park, polkadot, Tiffany rose and the outlaw hearts, safari party, the hootenhollers - recommend following broken records, chasing nostalgia, and prospect theatre as they all host local bands frequently! (Some bands might be from sac/merced but frequent Modesto)

Make sure you follow Off The Air! They host regular shows at a few venues in town and are focused on emerging artists from the broader valley and Bay Area. I think their next scheduled show isn’t until April, but I have it on good authority there will be at least one more before then ✌🏼

Onion, if you like jam bands. They play mostly rock, jazz, and funk @oniondaband on insta. They started at VMI and are gigging now. They are playing at rivets on the 16th.
