Underbelly
113 E Bay St, Jacksonville, FL 32202-3414
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.
