Southland was a ballroom/cafe on Warrenton Street in Boston, in the United States, in what is now the Charles Playhouse.
Originally a church,[1] converted into a club, is best known for featuring prominent jazz artists of the 1930s and 1940s such as Count Basie (most associated with the club),[2] Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Jimmie Lunceford, and many others.
[4] Southland's entertainment also featured dancers such as Rubberlegs Williams,[3] who also sang with Basie on numerous occasions.
Today the building is occupied by the Charles Playhouse, which opened in 1957.
