Here’s what you can expect to see at the Live Oak + Magnolia stages.

Lineup

Each year, the festival showcases a mix of local musicians along with established and up-and-coming artists from country and rock genres. To name a few, this year’s lineup features Riley Green, The Red Clay Strays, and Whiskey Myers — but the main event is SC’s own Darius Rucker, a Grand Ole Opry member and three-time GRAMMY Award-winner.
