Throughout its existence, The Showbox has hosted a diverse range of artists across various genres including rock, alternative, hip-hop and country. The venue is comprised of two spaces: The Showbox (the original space) and The Showbox SoDo (a larger venue opened in 2007). The December 9th performance is slated for The Showbox (the original location), known for its intimate setting and historical architectural details.
