The Bammies Music Foundation (BMF), located in the San Francisco Bay Area, the hotbed of music for decades, celebrates the remarkable talent of Bay Area musicians and their music!
BMF was founded by Kenny Wardell Sr. after the “BAMMIES REUNION CONCERT” in 2018 as an extension of the Bay Area Music Awards and the legendary BAM Magazine (BAMmagazine.com), which continues to cover the Bay Area’s flourishing music scene.
BMF supports Bay Area music through a number of initiatives including the Bay Area Music Walk of Fame in front of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco and the Bay Area Music Awards (The Bammies), which honors established and emerging musicians.
