The Sacramento Music Archive engages its community through Patreon, allowing members to influence the digitization of shows. Contributors like Rick Sylvain emphasize the importance of capturing live performances, offering bands a moment in the limelight, showcasing how the archive serves local music enthusiasts.
Stacy consistently seemed to have the best sources, and sometimes from multiple camera angles, too, with over 5,000 shows from all over Northern California from the past 50 years.
Shane really is the owner and the keeper for all of us. He's extremely detail-oriented and he puts his all into cleaning up the audio and video.
Another donor, Rick Sylvain, noted that recording in the cramped studio helped many small bands feel like stars, even if it was their one big moment.
The Sacramento Music Archive allows subscribers to vote on which shows get digitized or posted next, promoting engagement with the music community.
