# Sac Setlist

> Sacramento's music media platform — events, venues, artists, stories, and the research archive behind the scene. Loud and local since 2019.

Sac Setlist covers Sacramento-area live music, the venues and artists that make
the scene, and the history that runs under it. The site is built by Jason
Pierce, a local photojournalist and scene veteran, with editorial contributions
from writer / editor / video host Myki Angeline.

## Core sections

## The Archive

Researched by Jason Pierce. Every entry is bylined, cited, and editor-reviewed.
Community contributions (memories, sources, corrections) are accepted via a form
on each entry page; they land in a review queue and never auto-publish.

Entry types: venue, artist, event, institution.

Browse: /archive
Detail: /archive/{slug}

## Sources and citations

Each archive entry includes a numbered "Sources" block with the URLs consulted.
The entries aim to be journalism-quality — not wiki-style community edits.
If a fact is uncertain, an "Editor's note" at the bottom says so explicitly.

## Brand architecture

- **Sac Setlist** — the publication. The umbrella brand and the domain.
- **Soundcheck** — the news/features section. Lives at /news and /stories.
- **MYKI — Loud and Local** — the podcast, hosted by Myki Angeline. Lives at /podcasts.

## Machine-readable feeds

## Continuity

Sac Setlist is the continuation of Jason Pierce's editorial work, which began in
2019 under the name Sactunes (YouTube: @sactunes) with on-camera Sacramento
music coverage. The May 9, 2026 launch of Sac Setlist is a chapter break in the
same publication, not a zero-to-one launch. The Sactunes video archive is
first-party historical material embedded across the site.

## Not covered here

- Ticket sales (we link out to venue/promoter ticketing).
- Paid music reviews / paid placements (we don't do them).
- Generalized Sacramento news outside music.
