The Golden Gate Rhythm Machine is a small band with a big, swinging, fun loving sound, produced by some of the best traditional jazz musicians in the country. They are celebrating our 22nd anniversary together this year. They love to play a wide range of music, from the standard Dixieland favorites, through the West Coast originals of Lou Watters and Turk Murphy, to more recent standards and novelties played in a traditional style. They are particularly pleased when they are able to fill the dance floor.

Since its beginning the band has played at many premier jazz festivals including The Sacramento Dixieland Jubilee, The San Diego Dixieland Festival, Pismo Beach, Friday Harbor, Whidbey Island, Seaside Oregon, and many others. At every festival they attend, they surprise and delight both new and old fans alike with their danceable tempos, wonderful solo and ensemble work, and the genuine warmth and appreciation they feel toward their audiences.
