TBA, known as the Deloro Valley Silver Spur Tuolumne, is a nightclub situated in the heart of Tuolumne County, California, United States. Nestled in the historic region known for its Gold Rush legacy and scenic Sierra Nevada backdrop, the venue traces its roots back to the early 1970s, when it was initially a local dance hall and community gathering spot. Over the years, the Silver Spur has undergone various transformations, adapting to the evolving entertainment landscape of the region.

It gained a reputation throughout the '80s and '90s as a central hub for nightlife, attracting both residents and visitors from neighboring towns such as Sonora, Jamestown, and even occasional crowds from the Bay Area on busy holiday weekends. Under local ownership, the nightclub became a cherished part of Tuolumne’s identity, known for its friendly, unpretentious atmosphere and its mix of live music nights, DJ sets, and themed dance parties. Structurally, the Silver Spur has seen several renovations to modernize its sound and lighting systems, refurbish its historic facade, and expand dance floor space, but it has consistently preserved nods to its Old West roots, displaying vintage signage and memorabilia throughout the venue.

The Silver Spur is often credited with fostering the region’s music scene, providing a vital stage for local talent looking to gain visibility, as well as serving as an occasional tour stop for more established West Coast acts seeking an intimate, crowd-pleasing setting. Although the club’s focus has shifted over time—sometimes leaning toward country western, other times embracing rock, EDM, or hip hop—the Silver Spur has maintained its cultural significance as a gathering place where generations of Tuolumne residents celebrate milestones and connect over shared musical experiences. In recent years, the venue has broadened its appeal through collaborative events with local festivals and charitable organizations, and by embracing a more diverse range of genres.

While it remains steady at its original address, any extensions or architectural updates have been made with respect for the community’s historical sensibilities, ensuring that the Silver Spur continues to bridge the past and present of Tuolumne nightlife. Notable artists who have performed at the Silver Spur include local favorites such as The Black Irish Band and Grover Anderson, regional country acts like The Coffis Brothers, modern rock bands such as The Sam Chase & The Untraditional, Bay Area DJs including Carrillo and DJ Logic, and even international blues acts like Ana Popovic during her West Coast circuit.
