About Us

We've been around for over forty years and have thousands of fans in the San Francisco Bay area

The PBB was organized in 1963 as the Cupertino Banjo Band. As it grew and attracted members from all over the Peninsula bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay its name was changed to the Peninsula Banjo Band. The band was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1975. Membership varies from 45 – 70 and includes plectrum and tenor banjoists as well as wash tub bass players. sbobet
