Spring Jam

Awesome line up! Great balance between two stages! I’m so bummed I missed the killer drum performance while I was trying to find the entrance… but I heard it! Must have been amazing up close. The break dance performance was stellar! The event kept the surprises and entertainment coming. It was like a musical circus of shenanigans. LOVED MILO GREENE AND DELTA SPIRIT. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next year!

This was my first Spring Jam but it was an awesome time. The venue is excellent for this type event with plenty of room to set up chairs and a blanket and still be able to walk around easily. There were trees for shade and plenty of open space as well. Corn hole tournament, craft, beer and food vendors were also spread out and no real lines in which to wait. There were plenty of port-​o-​potties and they were strategically placed in multiple locations. Hand washing stations were available but ran out of water during the event which did suck. As we had received quite a bit of rain recently, the ground was rather muddy in most places, but we were warned that this event would take place rain or shine, so to plan accordingly, and most did. There was a free shuttle between Sticky Fingers and the waterfront parking lot, but we had to haul our stuff quite a ways out to the main road to get picked up by the bus. Next year the bus driver should swing down to that lot to pick up patrons in my opinion. We received discounted tickets through Groupon or Living Social and I would definitely repeat this event.

Seems like every year it wants to rain and get muddy out there. Good time though non the less. Good music, very chill and some good food and beer out there.

Twas a tad muddy but we came prepared. Many others did not. I can’t tell you how many folks I saw trekking around shoeless through pits of mud. Eww. P. S. — parents who let your kids run around naked in the giant puddles (that peoples barefeet had been swooshing away in all day) — that’s just wrong.
Other than that, it was a great time and I’m definitely looking forward to next years! =) Two stages 10 bands playing throughout the day. The Kopecky Family Band was probably my favorite from this year’s lineup. Check ‘em out. Nice folks too.
There were plenty of food truck options, along with beer tents. They weren’t selling any liquor which was a bit of a surprise, but probably for the best. We don’t need Fireball at EVERY event.
The crowd was pretty young… I’d say the majority were college students.
It was held at Brittlebank Park by The Joe… and you can’t beat the views there. Live music with water as the backdrop — yes, please!

I had such a good time at Spring Jam this year! Though I couldn’t get there til later in the day, I had plenty of time to take in the scene before Augustana took the stage. They were awesome live! A music festival on the water at sunset is a very cool way to spend a weekend. I mean, the place was a mud pit, but I managed to maneuver around it alright. My only complaint (which was beyond anyone’s control), was when the random guy, who I can only assume was on drugs, disrupted the performance with his strange behavior and yelling. Luckily, a security guard and police officer came over and stared him down so people weren’t as uncomfortable (and leaving the area). It definitely helped me enjoy the show again, so kudos for their presence. After my experience, I’ll totally come back next year.

This was my first Spring Jam and I thought it was great, though I only stayed for a few bands. I thought the layout was cool, beer was affordable, vendors were interesting (for the most part) — I’d definitely go next year if I’m into the bands.
It was also my first time at Brittlebank Park, which was really cool — glad I got to check it out.

This was my first Spring Jam. I wanted to go last year but ended up backing out because of the monsoon that reigned down on Charleston that weekend. With fears of a repeat of last year, I still decided to brave the elements to go see some live music. Luckily, mother nature changed her mind and it ended up being perfect weather! Yes, there were some mud puddles to deal with but I think it only added to the fun (well, except that one girl who fell in one and couldn’t seem to get herself out, poor thing).
I think this is the perfect little music festival. After attending some bigger ones like ACL, it’s nice to have a smaller version of our own here in Charleston. It doesn’t bring in highly-​recongnized bands but I like the fact that it’s giving smaller acts a chance to grow their fanbase. Plus, it keeps the ticket price down.
Brittlebank Park is the perfect location. You can’t beat the views and it’s a nice size where you don’t feel too crowded and you can still easily get up close to the stage if you want.
Beers are $ 5 each, which I guess isn’t too crazy and there are food trucks galore. I can’t remember the name of the food truck that had the cookies, but ohmyword.
Great time had by all, especially the naked baby running around in mud puddles for what seemed like an hour straight. Anyone else catch a glimpse of him? It was disturbing yet hysterical all at the same time.
See ya next year, Spring Jam!

After scoring free Elite tickets (Thanks, Scotty!), the BFF & I put on our galoshes & headed to Brittlebank Park for Spring Jam Music Fest from The Bridge! It was definitely muddy, but as other Unilocalers have already pointed out, the lineup was great!
Augustana really knocked it out of the park, & I was impressed with how amazing the sound was for a smaller venue.
Plenty of food trucks & beer vendors to keep your tummy full and happy. All in all, I think the event managed to be organized and laid back at the same time, which I loved. Great way to kick off the 2014 concert season!

Despite the mud and threats of rain, spring jam 2014 was a ton of fun! Got to try pep rolls, which was delicious, and found a few new favorite bands– Space Capone, Kopecky Family Band, and Brave Baby to name a few.
Can’t wait until next year’s event!

Fantastic line up! I couldn’t be happier with the quality of this event. Every band knocked it out of the park. It was an intimate size event, so you could see the bands, really hear the music, and get from one stage to the next quickly. The mud just added to that festival ambiance. What’s good music without a little mud?

My first time at Spring Jam Music Fest. Something for everyone, hip hop, rock, etc. I had a really good time in spite of the muddy park. It’s a great event to hang out and meet people. Any reason to party in the park is ok by me.
