The Music Festival of the Lowcountry will invade the downtown Beaufort waterfront for a free, full day of music and fun this Saturday. Organizers are excited to bring in an extraordinary musical lineup that spans across several genres and includes can’t-miss favorites.
The lineup of performers includes Candice Glover, 2014 winner of American Idol; one of traditional country music’s favorites, Tony Jackson; and Bruce in the USA, the most powerful and authentic Bruce Springsteen tribute band in all the land.
Bring your chairs and wear your dancing shoes because this promises to be a day full of fun.
The idea for the Music Festival of the Lowcountry ignited in the mind of local real estate expert, Jamie Peart. She and her team have provided our community with multiple free events over the last several years including free photos in the park during the holidays and free family movie nights at the waterfront during the fall and winter months.
Peart possesses a passion for music and is immersed in a milieu of musical talent in her daily life, notably through her husband’s involvement in one of the bands slated to perform at the festival. Her primary objective has been to provide a platform for local and regional bands to showcase their artistic prowess. Inclusivity across various music genres was a key consideration, as our picturesque historic town has not previously hosted an event of this nature.
Attendees can anticipate a diverse musical lineup at the music festival in Beaufort encompassing country, jazz, R&B, classic rock, bagpipers, and a whole lot more.

“I wanted to create a space where local musicians of all genres can play and be heard. Where our local community can enjoy music and life in our historic town,” Jamie said.
Jamie joined forces with the talented Brittany Underwood, a marketing specialist and graphic designer, to make this event shine. Besides the toe-tapping tunes, The Music Festival of the Lowcountry serves up a feast of tasty food from top vendors and a bustling market filled with crafts and goodies, all thanks to the awesome teamwork of the J.P. Signature Group crew and beyond.
About the three featured performers coming to the music festival in Beaufort:
Candice Glover is a singer, writer, performer, and producer who was born and raised right here on Saint Helena Island. She began her professional music career after winning it all in 2014 on “American Idol.” Since her win, she has traveled the globe as a renowned entertainer, performing most recently with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, and on residencies in New Zealand, Australia, Dominican Republic and on Broadway.
Tony Jackson, known as Traditional Country Music’s favorite artist. He’s served our country as a Marine and enjoyed a successful career in the banking industry, but with one listen to Tony Jackson’s new album, “I’ve Got Songs to Sing,” it is obvious country music is his true calling. With a distinctive voice that embodies country’s best traditions yet teems with an infectious energy that propels the genre into the future, Jackson is an old country soul in the body of a rising superstar.
Bruce in the USA is considered The most powerful and intense Springsteen tribute on the planet. Bruce in the USA is much more than just another tribute band. This high-energy musical experience is a note-perfect and visually accurate recreation of a Bruce Springsteen & The E St. Band show.
Make sure to hit the downtown Waterfront Park this Saturday and enjoy the music event of the year. The Music festival of the Lowcountry also offers delicious food from area food trucks and food vendors, libations, and a large, amazing craft and vendor market.
