Live Music in Marshfield, MA: Where to Hear It, and When

Marshfield punches above its weight after dark. A town of beach villages runs a real music circuit — an outdoor stage behind a surf shop, a brewery that posts its lineup every Monday, pubs with standing weekly nights — and the ring of towns around it adds a listening room in a former church, a 21+ rock club in Pembroke, and national acts under a tent in Cohasset. This is the list we give our guests, with the one thing most lists leave out: when each place actually hosts music. Every schedule below comes from the venue's own site, calendar, or pages, checked in October 2026 — if a venue wouldn't tell us when, it isn't on this list. It is one chapter of our Marshfield Local's Guide.

In Marshfield

Levitate Backyard & Rexicana Surf Cantina — Ocean Street

The center of Marshfield music: an outdoor stage behind the Levitate surf shop, with tacos and margaritas from the Rexicana cantina. When: free live music daily in season — the venue runs May through December, with acoustic après-beach sets most days — plus 25 or more ticketed headline shows a year, typically in the evening. Daily sets are free; headline shows are ticketed and some are 18+. About 10 minutes from the house.

The Jetty — Brant Rock

A surf-shack kitchen and bar on Ocean Street in Brant Rock that treats music as a standing appointment, not an occasional extra. When: live music every weekend, year-round — in practice Thursday through Sunday, with Thursday kickoff sets around 5–8pm, Saturday afternoon sets around 3–6pm, and full-band or tribute shows Saturday night around 8–11pm (some Saturday tribute shows are ticketed). About 8 minutes from the house.

Stellwagen Beer Company — Enterprise Drive

Marshfield's craft brewery — hop-forward ales, a taproom and beer garden, food trucks, and an outdoor stage. When: no fixed weekly night; the brewery keeps its own live-music calendar, mostly Friday and Saturday evenings (sets around 5–8pm or 6–9pm) with occasional Sunday afternoons, and posts the week's food-truck and music schedule every Monday on its socials. Most sets carry no cover. Year-round, about 12 minutes from the house.

The Voyage Irish Pub — Humarock

An Irish pub on the Humarock barrier beach with the most reliable weeknight music pattern in town. When: Wednesday open mic 6–8pm, Thursday new-artist nights 7–10pm, and calendar acts Friday through Sunday in the 7–10pm slot — seven days a week, year-round. (Monday Singo and Tuesday karaoke are participatory nights, not bands.) About 12 minutes from the house.

ONe 3 Nine Kitchen & Bar — Green Harbor

The marina-side kitchen and bar on Dyke Road in Green Harbor. When: live music Friday evenings at 6pm, and karaoke on Monday nights — in season only. ONe 3 Nine closes for the winter, so this is a warm-months plan. About 12 minutes from the house.

Venus II — Brant Rock

The oceanfront sports bar on Ocean Street, already famous in our restaurant guide for bar pizza and the two-story deck. When: the house states live music and entertainment six nights a week — it doesn't publish which nights or times, so treat it as "very likely music tonight" and check its pages for the week's acts. About 8 minutes from the house.

Mamma Mia's — Careswell Street

The recently renovated Italian family restaurant on Careswell Street, built around a 360-degree granite bar and lounge — a locals' night out as much as a dinner. When: live music Friday through Sunday, per the restaurant's own events page — Friday and Saturday 7–10pm, Sundays 3–6pm (Singo on Tuesdays and trivia on Wednesdays fill out the entertainment week). Year-round, about 10 minutes from the house.

Scituate & Duxbury

Untold Brewing — Scituate

An independent brewery in a renovated 19th-century schoolhouse near Scituate Harbor, with a sunny patio and regular food trucks. When: live music most Fridays and Saturdays, typically 5pm sets, listed date by date on the brewery's own events calendar. Most taproom music needs no ticket and is family-friendly. About 25 minutes from the house.

The Galley Kitchen & Bar — Scituate Harbor

A tapas and cocktail bar on Front Street in Scituate Harbor, from the same owners as Norwell's Tinker's Son. When: acoustic music most Friday and Saturday nights, roughly 7–11pm, with occasional Sunday-afternoon sets around 4–7pm, year-round — the pattern is consistent across artist listings even though the house doesn't publish its own calendar. About 20 minutes from the house.

Plymouth & Pembroke

Soundcheck Studios — Pembroke

The South Shore's dedicated rock room: a rehearsal-studio complex in Pembroke that runs ticketed shows like a proper club. When: shows multiple nights a week, year-round, on the venue's own calendar — typically doors at 7pm, music at 8pm. Ticketed, and strictly 21+. About 20 minutes from the house.

When: ticketed shows on a calendar basis — no fixed weekly night; evenings typically start 7–8pm, with some weekend matinees. Check the hall's calendar for what's on during your week. About 30 minutes from the house.

The CabbyShack — Plymouth waterfront

A waterfront pub on Town Wharf known for its chowder and its music calendar in equal measure. When: live music several days a week — Friday and Saturday late sets 9:30pm–12:30am, afternoon acoustic sets Friday through Sunday, and a Wednesday night slot. No cover stated; a family-facing restaurant by day. About 30 minutes from the house.

Hull, Cohasset & Hingham

Daddy's Beach Club — Hull

A beach-town bar and grill on Nantasket Ave that runs music like a venue, not an afterthought. When: live music four nights a week, year-round — weekend shows typically start around 9pm, with summer adding Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Some shows are free. About 30 minutes from the house.

The C Note — Hull

Hull's longtime live-music club on Nantasket Ave — a small room built for bands.

A 2,300-seat tent theatre-in-the-round that has hosted national touring acts for decades. When: ticketed concerts through the summer, typically June to early September, most shows at 7–8pm.
