Live music and jazz in Greater Boston
Allston
Scullers Jazz Club
club
Touring jazz at the DoubleTree by Hilton on the Charles. scullersjazz.com embeds an unscrapeable MusicIDB widget; we scrape their TicketWeb venue page (ticketweb.com/venue/scullers-jazz-club-boston-ma/18647) instead — one MusicEvent JSON-LD block per show.
Boston
Beehive 13 events
club
South End jazz/dinner club. Wix site embeds the Tockify calendar widget (tockify.com/beehive). Custom Playwright scraper renders the Tockify agenda with a real Chrome UA + viewport (Tockify serves a stub to default headless) and pulls each .agendaItem's title plus the tid (ms-epoch) from the detail-page URL.
Berklee Performance Center 10 events
theater
Berklee's main hall. Custom scraper: harvests /BPC/full-calendar-of-events-at-the-bpc for event URLs, then pulls JSON-LD Event blocks from each /BPC/events/
Boch Center 31 events
theater
Wang and Shubert Theatres on Carbonhouse CMS. Custom Playwright scraper: renders /events, harvests .eventItem cards; times default to 7:30 PM Eastern since the listing page doesn't expose them. Detail pages live at /events/detail/
House of Blues Boston 36 events
venue
Live Nation venue near Fenway. Custom Playwright scraper that harvests JSON-LD MusicEvent blocks from the rendered /shows page; Ticketmaster URLs.
Jordan Hall 11 events
theater
New England Conservatory hall. NEC's combined Trumba .ics feed covers every NEC room; the location_contains filter scopes us to Jordan Hall.
Paradise Rock Club 48 events
club
Crossroads Presents venue. Shared Shopify shell scraper (Playwright + li.event-wrapper extraction).
Royale 57 events
venue
Theater District venue. WordPress + The Events Calendar (Tribe) plugin — same as Middle East and Wally's.
Wally's Café Jazz Club
club
Historic Mass Ave jazz club. /events/ runs The Events Calendar (Tribe) plugin — same generic scraper as Hawks & Reed in PV.
Brighton
Roadrunner 45 events
venue
Bowery Presents venue at Boston Landing. Custom Playwright scraper that extracts .c-axs-event-card__wrapper elements from the embedded AXS widget; requires explicit Chrome UA + viewport to render.
Cambridge
Atwood's Tavern
bar
Squarespace site. /events?format=json returned 0 upcoming events at last check — site appears dormant (latest visible events from March 2023). Re-evaluate if they return.
Club Passim 74 events
venue
Folk/singer-songwriter institution in Harvard Square. Custom static-HTML scraper against passim.org/live-music/; ticket links go to Salesforce-sites and source_id uses the Salesforce instance ID.
Lily Pad
venue
Squarespace site. /calendar?format=json returned empty upcoming/items at last check — may be genuinely empty, or events may live at a different URL.
Middle East 236 events
club
Multi-room Central Square venue. WordPress + event-discovery + FullCalendar — same plugin family as Blue Note NYC and Birdland.
Regattabar
club
Touring jazz at the Charles Hotel. Native is TicketWeb redirect. Needs custom scraper (probably wp_tw_events-style) or Playwright against TicketWeb.
The Sinclair 37 events
club
Bowery Presents Cambridge. Custom Playwright scraper against /events; .entry.sinclair cards with title, support acts, tour name, date, doors time, and AXS ticket link.
Groton
Groton Hill Music Center 1 event
theater
Performing-arts hall. grotonhill.org is WAF-blocked from non-residential IPs, but their OvationTix portal (ci.ovationtix.com/36622) is scrapeable. Scraper intercepts the Production XHR during page load. Portal currently exposes only the next featured event; other concerts (e.g. Steve Earle, perf 11767249) live at direct performance URLs but aren't on the listing.
Somerville
Crystal Ballroom Somerville
venue
Newer mid-size venue in Davis Square. Native site was unreachable at recon time; needs investigation.
The Burren 143 events
bar
Irish pub in Davis Square. Custom scraper against /music.html — old-school HTML table layout with td.HEADER date headers and Room/Time/BAND classes for each event; ticket links go to 24hourmusic.com.
