History:
The East Bay Banjo Club was founded in 1963 as a nonprofit organization and dedicated to the spirit of playing "Happy" banjo music. Currently there are about 40 very enthusiastic members who meet every Tuesday night from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at the Round Table Pizza Parlor at 1938 Oak Park Blvd. in Pleasant Hill, California.
In the past, the Club had a famous float, "The River Queen" which we used in parades, and various community functions. The float was retired in 1997. We now play at many different civic events, private parties, and club functions, mainly in Contra Costa County and occasionally a neighboring county or two. Annually we play at the Palo Alto Banjo Jubilee and the Sacramento Banjo-Rama, where we are featured players along with some of the best banjo bands in the entire USA.
The money we earn from our "playouts" is donated to various charities - mainly those involved with handicapped children, and a few senior citizen organizations.
The Club always welcomes new members from outright beginners to seasoned professionals The range of banjo playing experience within the club is usually from several months to as much as 30 years. So, if you love banjos, happy music and fun, please stop by, take a look, and listen.
