This is a great story about the San Francisco-based collective, Baycoin Beats, receiving local support and finding success after settling in Antioch, CA; starting off with a live music show this past weekend at Tailgaters Antioch, on July 9th 2022.

ANTIOCH, Calif. – July 12, 2022, Baycoin Beats were pleasantly surprised when the Mayor of Antioch, CA., Lamar Thorpe, attended their first public performance in the city as residents. The free event was held at Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill, which now books entertainment on Saturday nights. The mayor was so impressed that he decided to stay for the entire performance. Robyn Jackson, one of the band members and lead vocalists, even dedicated a song to him before the end of the night, which he loved.
