Our Story
First and foremost, we take deep pride in creating the perfect concert experience for both the artist and our guests. The very talented Ari Hest summed it up when he told someone, "Downstairs Live does it right every time."
Downstairs Live is a very unique listening room venue in the basement of a house in South Carolina. You have to see it to believe it, and you have to experience it to understand it. Since 2004, we've accumulated over 500 fellow music lovers from across the southeast who attend our shows. They have enabled us to create the perfect listening room...always filled with the perfect audience...and this has been achieved by "word of mouth" growth. My goal for each show is simply this...to create a music experience that both the artist and guests rave about for years; with that concept in mind, Downstairs Live has proven to be one of the most well-respected listening rooms around.
Our capacity is 90 and our shows sell out just minutes after being announced; but we can now share these intimate concerts live with fellow music lovers across the world through our LIVE STREAMS over the Internet. If you would like to be notified about our LIVE STREAMS, scroll to the bottom of this page, send me an email, and ask to be added to the Live Stream notification list. You must have "Live Stream" in the subject heading.
