Winyah hit The Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville on August 26, 2026, on a Charlottesville stop.

Winyah pulls roughly 480K monthly listeners on Spotify.

The act

Formed in 2023, out of Pawleys Island, SC, Winyah leaned on the catalog they built into a live act with national reach.

Winyah is an indie southern-rock five-piece from Georgetown and Pawleys Island, South Carolina, named for the historic Winyah Bay. Frontman Thomas Rowland leads a lineup of Stephen Russell, Luke Gordon, Robert Buffington Jr., and Jacob Riley. Their 2025 debut Lot to Learn cleared thirteen million streams and put the band on Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. The Charlottesville date is a co-headline with Atlanta funk-rock outfit Penelope Road.

The venue

The Jefferson Theater sits at 110 East Main Street, a 750-capacity historic 1912 theater operated by Starr Hill Presents under booker Danny Shea.

Jefferson programs eclectically across Americana, indie, country revival, hip-hop, and themed dance nights. The room held 576 for the Winyah show, 77% sell-through.

The night

Doors 7:00 PM. Set 8:00 PM. All ages. Ticket prices are set on the on-sale.

Why now

Winyah indexes 98/100 on local pull across the Charlottesville metro, with a non-trivial DC and Richmond overlap that often crosses for shows at this size.

In the books

Winyah's next Jefferson date will be added to the calendar when announced.

The Jefferson Theater is at 110 East Main Street, Charlottesville, VA.
