FREE Jam Room Music Festival Returns November 15th

Live music returns to Finlay Park with Jam Room Music Festival on Saturday, November 15, 2025 featuring 10 artists across two stages from noon to 10 p.m. Presented by the Jam Room Foundation with support from the City of Columbia, Richland County, and Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union, the free, family-friendly festival coincides with the park’s highly anticipated grand reopening weekend.
This year’s headliners include DIIV (Los Angeles, CA; pronounced “dive”) — leaders of the modern shoegaze revival whose debut Oshin earned Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” label and NME’s “Top 10 Albums of the Year”; White Denim (Austin, TX) — the genre-bending rock band celebrated for their musicianship and high-energy live shows; and Steve Ray Ladson (Hopkins, SC) — the America’s Got Talent standout whose “Blackgrass Brothercana” sound fuses soul, country, and rock. They’ll be joined by Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band, whose New Threats from the Soul earned Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” label and an 8.7 rating; Sunny War, a guitar virtuoso whose percussive fingerpicking and searing lyricism bridge folk, blues, and punk; and reunited cult favorite Silkworm. Local and regional acts include Sweetheart City, Slow Funeral, The Ectomorphs, and The Magic Purple Circle with Mr. Darion, a family storytelling and music experience to kick off the day.
