City Spotlight ::: San Francisco

Another week another opponent for the Falcons. The NFC Championship brings the San Francisco 49ers to Atlanta. The Bay Area use to be a hot bed of musical talent in the 60s and 70s, but recently there has been a giant migration of sound south to Los Angeles. Recent bands to come out of LA include Best Coast, Family of the Year, Foster the People, Dum Dum Girls, Foxygen, OFWGKTA, and it goes on and on to pair with the old reliable LA bands the Doors, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Snoop Dogg.

Back to the Bay. Fog City has its share of great musical artists including; the Grateful Dead, Journey, Bonnie Raitt, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Green Day.
