Covering Sacramento music since 2019
Sac Setlist
Sacramento's music scene has always been bigger than the places people knew to look. Sac Setlist is here to document it, connect it, and make it easier to find.
What this is
A working map of the local scene.
Sac Setlist is a Sacramento music media platform: part show guide, part newsroom, part archive, part community directory. We cover the artists, venues, open mics, stories, and source trails that make the scene legible.
The goal is not to flatten the scene into a calendar. The goal is to make the calendar, the people, the rooms, and the history easier to follow without losing the texture that makes Sacramento music feel like Sacramento.
The public site is still growing. When a page is unfinished, we would rather be honest about the work than fill it with placeholder hype.

Where this came from
Sactunes was the start. Sac Setlist is the next layer.
Jason's Sacramento music coverage began in 2019 under Sactunes, with video and on-camera formats like IN THE KNOW, SACTUNES LIVE, and ARTIST SPOTLIGHT.
Sac Setlist continues that work with a wider frame: more genres, stronger data, better archive habits, and a site built so artists, venues, readers, and contributors can actually use it.

Jason Pierce
Owner and founder
Jason started covering Sacramento music under Sactunes in 2019. Sac Setlist carries that work forward as a broader media platform, archive, and set of tools for the scene.
Myki Angeline
Writer, editor, video host, and podcast host
Myki brings on-air experience, scene relationships, and editorial voice to Sac Setlist's stories, videos, interviews, and Loud and Local podcast work.
Myki is part of the editorial and hosting team. Jason is the owner/founder. That distinction matters because Sac Setlist is carrying forward a body of work that started before this version of the platform.
