What a historic venue. I've been to Sweetwater once years ago, but over the Father's Day weekend we…read morewere able to check it out as a family for a special show called "The Rock and Roll Playlist plays: Music of Grateful Dead for Kids + More Grateful Dads Fathers Day Weekend Bash". Such a sweet moment for Grateful Dead fans with little kiddos ~ lotsa little "deadheads". There's a bar/restaurant called the Rock & Rye Café if in the mood for a meal pre/post show, and we learned you can order at the restaurant and bring food over to the Music Hall as well. This venue is essentially standing room only, but we emailed ahead of time for ADA accommodations and seating for grandparents (check the website under 'Frequently Asked Questions' for direct email). There's parking in downtown Mill Valley..we parked around the corner and walked around window shopping pre-show. There's also other cool eateries and drinking holes to enjoy downtown too. In the venue itself there is a bar that served both great Bloody Mary's and mocktail options too. Fun staff and the show was equally as cool + interactive. There were nice Grateful Dead handkerchiefs for sale, and all in all, honestly would return for a kiddo or (adult) show. It was so special to introduce a few generations at one time to this genre of music in such an iconic spot and staple to the area. Well done!

We'd seen Ollie and the band play on several YouTube videos we'd found online but nothing really compared to having them play live. As a jazz band they brought a beautiful energy to our wedding reception that impressed not just us but our 150 wedding guests. The music really was so beautiful and executed to perfection. Ollie is very easy going and was amenable to all our requests. A big shout out to Ben the keyboardist, too, who played Otis Redding's "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" as we walked down the aisle :) They really were a great band to work with :)

Great spot for live jazz during dinner time, probably the best part about this place…read more Just a couple of miles away from the old town in the area. I recommend making a reservation as a place is uncomfortably squished. Tables are lined up practically to the door. - Carbonara - 5/5 - Porcini - 5/5 I didn't ask but based off of the noodle texture, I almost think the noodles are homemade? Perfectly al dente. You have to look for street parking in the area, I would suggest coming just a tad bit early as there are several restaurants in the area and they all seem to get pretty packed

Easy to communicate and plan with and their performance really elevated our reception. We let them know what kind of vibe and tempo we liked ahead of time and they did the rest choosing songs to play for the reception to keep things upbeat without being overpowering. Daniel checked in with us at various points throughout the night to ensure the vibes were right and if we needed any adjustments. Nova Jazz also was able to play a special request song outside of their listed repertoire for our first dance which we really appreciated and was very special for us. We'd recommend them for weddings and any other special events when you want extra pizzazz!

Radio Gatsby absolutely crushed it at our wedding and we are still talking about it!…read more We had a solo pianist for the ceremony, a quartet during cocktail hour, and a full band for dinner and dancing. Every part of the day had its own perfect vibe and they nailed all of it. They played every song we wanted and steered completely clear of the ones we didn't, which honestly meant so much to us. Our guests would not stop raving about the music all night and weeks after! We loved every second of it. The dance floor was full from start to finish.

It's in the midst of this nesting that I've discovered the joys of what the Throckmorton Theatre is laying down. The free, monthly noontime concerts are great as is the always popular weekly comedy night but more recently I've been enjoying the other events offered. In so doing I've come to see the Throckmorton as an essential community asset; they save me a drive to the City while providing right-sized entertainment close to home. When I attend events here I leave feeling thankful for their offerings. In recent months I've enjoyed a Jonathan Richman concert (fab... bring him back!), a concert by a local band, and A Chorus Line, teen edition. That last one left me sorry that I'd missed the previous one-time Broadway shows showcased here and with resolve not to miss another. For a little above the cost of your ticket you can pay to enjoy reserved seats but if you fail to do that you'll find equally satisfying seating on the main floor (they also have balcony seating) if you arrive early enough to snag it. I find myself checking the Throckmorton's calendar with a frequency, these days, that I'd not have anticipated even one year earlier. They've not disappointed yet.

What a treat this show and venue was!
