The act

Formed in 2023, out of Pawleys Island, SC, Winyah has been touring behind a strengthening catalog 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 runs 750 general-admission, with sightlines from front-of-house to the back of the floor.

The night

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

Why now
