Live music is truly alive and well in Marin County! Yes, its true that three towns in Marin County have more than one place thats their claim to fame. Fairfax is well known for its line up of nightclubs on Broadway, including The Sleeping Lady, Peris Silver Dollar and 19 Broadway. These places really rock most, if not all nights of the week.
