Baxter’s is the gift that keeps on giving this month.
The northside venue has decided to bless us all with a killer lineup of acts across multiple genres this December. Rock? Jazz? Pop? It’s got it all. And the best part? Gigs are always free, giving you the perfect excuse to swing by and soak up some fresh local talent.
With other perks including delicious cocktails, a generous Happy Hour from 4-9pm, open mic nights on the first Sunday of every month and even a pup-friendly beer garden, Baxter’s truly does have it all. It’s a place that holds community, music and good times above all else.
So, what’s the lineup? We’ll tell ya.
