The Township Auditorium, Presented by Dominion Energy on November 8, 2025
The Big Red Barn Retreat (BRBR) announced country music artist Preston Duffee as the official opener for this year’s Fall Jam! The concert will take place Saturday, November 8, 2025, at The Township Auditorium in Columbia, South Carolina.
This Veterans Day weekend, celebrate with purpose by attending Fall Jam—featuring Rodney Atkins, Preston Duffee, and Brendan Roberts—and help support our nation’s heroes!
A native of Hartsville, South Carolina, Preston Duffee first captured national attention on American Idol, where his heartfelt lyrics and classic country sound resonated with audiences across the country. His breakout single, “Something to Write About,” paved the way for performances alongside country legends like Clint Black—including a memorable show at the Township Auditorium. Known for his high-energy performances and authentic storytelling, Duffee’s band brings a dynamic mix of fiddle and pedal steel guitar that embodies the spirit of modern country music.
Presented by Dominion Energy, 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.
This event would not be possible without the generosity of sponsors like the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, returning this year as a Red, White, and Blue Sponsor.
“We are proud to partner with the Big Red Barn Retreat and help sponsor the Fall Jam again this year,” said Robert G. Woods IV, Director of the South Carolina Department of Public Safety. “It is an honor to support an event that serves active-duty service members, first responders, and their families—many of whom share our mission to keep South Carolinians safe.”
Tickets range from $36–$60 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster.
Veterans, active-duty military, National Guard, Reserves, and first responders are eligible for discounted tickets through the GOVX platform.
