Left of the Dial Promotions is a Northern California music events initiative rooted in the belief that community is the heart of every great scene. Based between Sacramento and Walnut Creek, LOTD works to bridge the musical cultures of both regions—connecting artists, venues, and audiences across the Valley and the Bay to create a more unified, collaborative creative ecosystem.

Our mission is to champion local, regional, and independent musicians, foster inclusive spaces where people feel welcome, and strengthen the ties between neighboring communities through shared musical experiences, thoughtful event production, and partnering with grassroots organizations. Bridging the gap where Sacramento’s spirit meets the East Bay's heritage, Left of the Dial exists to make live music, local art and neighborhood artisans accessible, community‑powered, and deeply rooted in the places we call home—on both sides of the I‑80 corridor.
