About Sweetwater Music Hall

Sweetwater Music Hall is the legendary music venue established in 1972 in Mill Valley, CA. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit arts organization committed to advancing education, understanding and appreciation of music, culture and arts through the presentation of a vibrant and diverse range of live performances across all genres. The original Sweetwater opened in 1972 in downtown Mill Valley, CA. The once-in-a-lifetime show was a commonplace occurrence at the original Sweetwater. The roster of artists that have crowded onto the club’s little stage included Bob Weir, Aaron Neville, Big Mama Thornton, Carlos Santana, Clarence Clemons, Elvis Costello, Etta James, Gregg Allman, Jerry Garcia, John Hiatt, John Lee Hooker, Maria Muldaur, Odetta, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Van Morrison and many more musical luminaries. In the ’80s, the Times of London hailed the Sweetwater as one of the best nightclubs in America. In September 2007, sadly the original Sweetwater closed its doors. In 2012, the venue reopened as the Sweetwater Music Hall up the street on Corte Madera Ave. The tradition of the once-in-a- lifetime show continues!
