SAN FRANCISCO — I think I might have overdosed my 13-year-old daughter.

On music. C’mon.

She wouldn’t be the first of my daughters to suffer at the hands of my geekery. My 19-year-old was force-fed punk rock until she started making plans to perform a Bad Religion song at the third grade talent show (not “Fuck Armageddon,” though the look on her mother’s face would have been worth the hysterically high price).

With that one, I’ve gone from turning down the volume over certain words in my listening choices to wishing she would do the same for me.

My 13-year-old, Lucy, is a bit more gentle in her tastes. But she got a face full of Bay Area rock and roll history when she decided to come along Friday as I visited Music City San Francisco.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I knew there’s rehearsal space there, which is desperately needed in the Bay Area (especially east of the Caldecott). I also knew there was a hotel and some sort of planned Bay Area music hall of fame.

But now that I’ve seen their big plans for 1353 Bush St. and wow. A lot of people are going to be really impressed if they pull them off.

Lucy and I met Brian Davy, Music City’s general manager, after we’d browsed a while. The collection, so far, hanging from two floors of, essentially, hotel corridors. That doesn’t sound like much when discussing great rock and roll museums. But you can spend a couple hours just wandering the Image Walk inside halls.

Beautifully vivid and large framed photographs of Bay Area legends line the walls, with info panels next to each one, written by a number of Bay Area music writers, including longtime San Francisco Chronicle writer Joel Selvin and former Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres.

Coming out of a nearly a year-and-a-half of pandemic lockdown, plans were shelved as donors dried up. But, if the sound of power tools running in a back area were a good indicator, things are getting back on track.

“Our funding kind of dried up,” said Davy, looking down into a space that will eventually be a main stage area. “We opened the gallery May 8 as an amenity for the hotel.”

As far as the building becoming home of a Bay Area music hall of fame? That’s the plan, but …

“We’re trying to get more funding,” Davy said. “The funding world is opening up, with the rest of the world. Hopefully in 2022.”

What’s there right now is worth a trip. Once you get up spiral stairs to the second floor–appropriately above and next to rehearsal rooms—the artwork is reminiscent of what hangs at the Warfield and the Fillmore. Of course, there’s big representation of the Grateful Dead, Journey, Sly and the Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Green Day, Metallica, Tupac Shakur, Steve Miller, Third Eye Blind, Chris Isaak, Neil Young, Santana, Janis Joplin. Too $hort, Van Morrison, Sammy Hagar, Steve Nicks (she went to Menlo-Atherton High School and, along with Lindsey Buckingham, San Jose State University), and on and on.

The man behind the idea of a rock and roll hotel, rehearsal space and Bay Area rock hall, is Rudy Colombini, a real estate investor and frontman for popular San Francisco tribute band The Unauthorized Rolling Stones. Music City hosts a development academy for young musicians, recording facilities, some of the coziest rehearsal rooms I’ve ever seen, the hotel, and five small performance venues (one outside!). As well as streaming performance capabilities, the mention of which started Brian and Lucy talking about all sorts of things I’m not sure I understood.

The final vision will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $9.5 million. It’s a pretty grand vision, but one that the Bay Area’s rich musical history–and future–deserves.
