November 6
Club Café · Back Bay • Free
Sip craft cocktails while Andy Lantz and Frankie Campofelice spin jazz standards, Broadway hits, and pop favorites from the 1920s through the 1960s. The open mic means anyone might steal the show: your evening could hold a surprise.
October 18 (This weekend)
The Burren · Davis Square • $$
Grab a pint and belt out "Jolene" with the whole bar. A local musician leads this sing-along of Dolly Parton's greatest hits at a beloved old-school Irish pub.
Satellite - Craft Beer, Coffee & Cocktails Served with Burgers and Live Music · Wellington-Harrington • $$
Remnant Satellite hosts a rotating lineup of local performers in a casual neighborhood setting. Grab a craft beer or cocktail and settle in for live sets that range from bluegrass to Americana.
D Street / West Broadway • $$
The Grove is a laid-back outdoor playground where food trucks, bars, and live music set the tone for easy summer hangs. Grab a burger, find a seat, and let the evening stretch out.
Ward Two
Portico Brewing is a come-as-you-are taproom where rotating taps meet Taqueria El Barrio, cornhole, and the occasional live set. Bring your book, your kids, or your whole crew: this space somehow handles all three without breaking a sweat.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
