Live Music

Deep within the historic neighborhood of St. Elmo lies The Woodshop Listening Room. It’s an intimate space for live music that radiates a warmth that feels more like your best friend’s living room than a conventional venue.

The large, open room setting lets you really connect with the performers, creating a unique vibe that’s a departure from the usual concert scene. The Woodshop Listening Room is a no-frills, genuine space where music takes center stage in a relaxed and personal atmosphere.

The front sidewalk and rear garden seating areas are unbeatable drink spots.

The Woodshop regularly books local and regional acts, open mics and showcases of all genres. They occasionally host well-know national touring artists. Make sure you get there for those shows, because you’ll see big names in the coziest environment imaginable.

Regular events

Old Time Jam – Open jam for Appalachian string fans every Tuesday

Wednesday Night Jazz Trio + Trivia – Smooth jams every Wednesday

Forever Bluegrass Fridays – Live and local bluegrass every Friday
