Heartwood Sound Stage

Heartwood Soundstage is Gainesville’s hidden gem for live music lovers, tucked just off South Main Street. Equal parts cozy venue and professional recording studio, it’s where you’ll catch anything from stripped-down acoustic sets to experimental fusion and full outdoor festivals under the oak trees. With its warm lighting, excellent acoustics, and chill indoor-outdoor setup, Heartwood feels more like a backyard jam with friends than a concert hall—but with seriously good sound.

It’s also a quiet favorite among sticker artists. Poles, benches, and bulletin boards in and around the space are layered with tags and hand-cut sticker art—some promo, some purely creative. During community nights and local makers' markets, you’ll often find new stickers popping up, blending music and street art into one ongoing, collaborative showcase. Heartwood isn’t just a venue—it’s part of Gainesville’s living canvas.
