About SilverPlatter
SilverPlatter is the valley's best source to find out about live music. With reliable, up-to-date information, links to bands and venues, and a weekly email blast, SilverPlatter hopes to increase attendance at shows across the city no matter what the musical style or genre. We also hope to shine the spotlight on the amazing local bands here, while building awareness and support often found in other cities of this size.

Frank Gallardo
My WebsiteAge only makes me appreciate music even more today. I go to more live shows now in my forties than I did in my twenties. I have enjoyed contributing to the Silver Platter site, writing CD reviews for Stinkweeds, doing one of the Silver Platter radio shows and have even branched out into writing band bios. This is a rough life.
