The venue will be presenting shows in nearly every genre including rock, blues, jazz, folk, R&B, and stand-up comedy. Since we are a seated venue with dining, we do trend towards shows that are suited to our unique atmosphere.

The Hamilton Live seats 300 guests and accommodates another 200 guests standing in our two bar areas.

If you have tickets to an upcoming show, we will email you with any cancellations or postponements. You can sign up for our concert mailing list and our site is always up to date with the latest show information.
