The Township Auditorium, Presented by Build On Your Land, LLC, on November 14, 2026
The Big Red Barn Retreat (BRBR) announced country music artist Carter Lybrand as the official opener for this year’s Fall Jam! The concert will take place Saturday, November 14, 2026, at The Township Auditorium in Columbia, South Carolina.
This Veterans Day weekend, celebrate with purpose by attending Fall Jam – featuring headline act, Justin Moore, and opening act, Carter Lybrand, and help support our nation’s heroes!
Past the corn fields and dirt roads of mid-state South Carolina, Carter Lybrand found his love for country music through his musically gifted grandparents. While in Iraq, this defender of freedom became popular among his comrades for his natural singing ability. Destined to carve out his own musical journey, Carter began pursuing music professionally in 2019. Traveling the country to play dance halls like the famous Grizzly Rose, he has already opened for the likes of country legend John Anderson, Blackhawk, Chris Lane, Travis Denning, Michael Ray, Frank Foster and Jon Wolfe. Carter’s debut single “I’ll Be Right Here” charted for several weeks on the Texas radio charts, and the music video highlights a struggling veteran fighting his way through alcohol addiction.
It is his hope to focus on mental health, and the things that matter most. Carter is a graduate of the Big Red Barn Retreat’s flagship training program, Warrior PATHH (Progressive & Alternative Training for Helping Heroes). The Warrior PATHH program is the only privately funded program that is proven to cultivate and facilitate posttraumatic growth – the positive psychological change experienced as a result of struggling with highly challenging, highly stressful situations.
Presented by Build On Your Land, LLC, the Big Red Barn Retreat Fall Jam has become a cornerstone event honoring veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. All proceeds benefit the life-changing programs of the Big Red Barn Retreat, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting those who serve and protect.
