Live-music venues worth the trip in Oxford, Mississippi

The Lyric Oxford is a standing-room theater on Van Buren Avenue just off the Square in Oxford, housed in a building that was “originally a livery stable”, and its own site says it “hosts an assortment of events including concerts”.

Proud Larry’s is a restaurant and stage on South Lamar Boulevard in Oxford, and its own site says it has been “Family owned on the Square since 1993” and promises “LIVE MUSIC MOST NIGHTS”.
