Live Music around Provo (excl. Grace Bay)
Casual only by the very chic and Instagrammable Shore Club standards. Walk into a breathtaking indoor / outdoor open air space - with lush greenery and an imposing almond tree - the setting alone is amongst the best on the island. Many nights enjoy the smooth vocals of resident musician Janardo Laporte. Get dolled up or go casual chic and enjoy a lovely dinner or just pop in for nibbles and a craft cocktail in the bar / lounge area.
Wymara’s Sunday night BBQ night is set on a beautiful, secluded stretch of Grace Bay Beach and features an incredible buffet, live entertainment, and a beach bonfire afterwards. These nights are truly magical. Leave your shoes behind and enjoy the sand in your toes for this very tropical, romantic experience.
Grab a table if you are lucky or simply pull up around around the bar, but head here on Wednesdays to hear the island's quintessential expat band - the Original Bar Band - play from 7pm. Bob’s Bar maintains that island laid-back feel from years ago that is becoming harder to come by on the island. Great island feel and breeze as you overlook the South Side Marina
Casual, beachfront restaurant in Five Cays – come during the day for beautiful views over the bay or come on the weekend for live music in the evening. Unique outdoor seating with tables around trees and some picnic tables are even placed in the water if you want to get your feet wet. Go for a long stroll out in the sand at low tide. Come here before or after a day at Sapodilla or Taylor Bay.
Feet in the sand, picnic tables under palm trees, turquoise water steps away, friendly staff, the conch man, and even a ring toss game - there is perhaps not a better beach bar on the island to simply let time pass. Kick back with a few (strong) rum punches and enjoy live music Sat or Sun afternoon - or for an entirely different feel, go for their well known Wed night party, featuring the We Funk Junkanoo band, a fire dancer, and a DJ.
Perhaps what Provo felt like years ago, Froggie’s is about as close to a beach shack as you can come these days. Far away from the activity of Grace Bay, escape to Blue Hills - past the Conch Shack - and enjoy local food, cold beers, and on some Saturday mornings - Davonte Missick or another local musician playing some tunes.
Perched in an enviable position over Chalk Sound, the views from Las Brisas always impress. Go for dinner at sunset to enjoy the colors and relaxing music several nights of the week. For music, think smooth jazz, soft rock, or chilled out reggae classics - creating a nice island vibe without taking over your dinner table conversation.
Get here on Saturday or Sunday afternoon and enjoy the reggae island vibes of Stanley Roots from 1-4pm. On the bay beach in Five Cays choose to sit on the expansive deck or if it is high tide, this is where you get to sit on a picnic table with your toes in turquoise water. With a great and reasonably priced menu of your island favorites including some damn fresh seafood, buckets of beer and good drinks, take a break from Grace Bay beach and come here for a wonderful, lazy lunch.
Kick back on the beach after a snorkeling session in Coral Gardens or catch an epic sunset most nights, Somewhere Cafe lights up at night with live music three nights a week with Julian Garland, Barbara Johnson, and the Seabreeze Band as regulars.
