Located in the heart of Downtown, in Jacksonville's "Elbow District", Underbelly isn't just a building and a stage where people come to enjoy music. It's much bigger than that. It's not the paint on the walls. It's not the brick, wood, and nails that hold it all together. It's not the lights or the electricity that define it. Underbelly is a garden. A place for people, regardless of who you are or what you do, to just leave it all at the door for a small while. It's a place for humans. People wanting to be just that. Surrounded by others that feel the same to come together for however long it may be, to be here and now - no more, no less. It's a place where the best musicians unite to create moments that exist nowhere else. Isn't that what it is all about? Finding those moments of magic that will stay with you forever? Well, that's what we sell. We sell magic in all sizes. So come with many, come with none, it doesn't matter. Because when you're here, you're home.

OVERVIEW

Get ready for an adventure on wheels as we take a journey from the bustling streets of a vibrant city to the serene landscapes of the countryside. Our adventure begins in a bustling metropolis, where towering buildings and the hustle and bustle of urban life create a unique symphony. As we leave the city behind, the landscape transforms into a tapestry of rolling hills, lush meadows, and tranquil rivers. The symphony of city life gives way to the gentle rhythm of nature, as the open road beckons us to explore its hidden wonders.

Along our path, we'll encounter charming towns and historic landmarks, each with its own unique story to tell. We'll traverse winding roads that lead us through picturesque valleys and over majestic mountains. As we journey deeper into the heart of the countryside, the scenery becomes even more breathtaking, with vast fields of wildflowers painting the landscape in vibrant hues. The air becomes fragrant with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the cheerful chirping of birds. We'll make our way through dense forests, where the towering trees create a canopy overhead, casting intricate patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor. We'll pause at sparkling lakes and cascading waterfalls, marveling at the beauty of nature's artistry.

As we continue our journey, the countryside gives way to a different kind of landscape. The rolling hills flatten out, and the lush vegetation transforms into vast open plains. The sky above stretches out endlessly, dotted with fluffy white clouds. The horizon seems to stretch on forever, creating a sense of boundless freedom and possibility. As we approach our destination, the landscape takes on a new character, with rolling hills reappearing and the distant mountains beckoning us closer. Finally, we arrive at our destination, a charming town nestled amidst the picturesque countryside. We disembark from our vehicle, filled with a sense of accomplishment and a deep appreciation for the beauty we've witnessed along the way.
