Tunes From Our Backyard Tickets

Tune into a curated journey with Tunes From Our Backyard, a project led by David Gerald Steinberg, San Francisco–based woodwind instructor, composer, and producer for media. This performer brings to life songs from the WPA California Folk Music Project (1938–1940) with a distinctive blend of live woodwinds, vocalists, and guest musicians alongside original field recordings and WPA-era artifacts. The result is a thoughtful, intimate concert experience that connects historical archival material with contemporary performance.

Rooted in San Francisco Bay Area history and supported by heritage initiatives from Living New Deal and UC Berkeley, Tunes From Our Backyard invites audiences to hear the California folk landscape as it once sounded, while witnessing it anew through modern artistry. Whether you’re a history buff, a folk music enthusiast, or simply seeking a unique live show, this is a performance you won’t forget.

Upcoming tour dates bring this archival-inspired project to notable venues around California. Secure your seats for an intimate evening that fuses archival sound with live improvisation.
