Does this restaurant hire live musicians? I’m a music student at UML and experience/a little extra for tuition never hurts.

Sure. They have live performers. There's also Warp and Weft in Lowell, The Keep in Lowell, and others.

Someone said they're closing is that true

They also host improv shows as well. Some of the best shows for that in the area. It just depends on the group looking to perform.
