BayProg is the original regional progressive rock web site, first appearing in early 1999.

The goals of BayProg are, roughly:

To serve the needs of musicians who play in local progressive rock bands. As a musician I want to know what other bands are doing, maybe pair up with another band for a gig, find musicians for my band, and keep track of venues.
To serve the community of local progressive rock music fans by promoting concerts, finding record stores that carry prog titles, reporting local happenings, etc.
To host announcements and discussions.
To help promote progressive rock concerts.

Please enjoy! – Don
