Country star Justin Moore is set to headline a benefit concert at Township Auditorium in Columbia on Nov. 14, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the show beginning at 7 p.m. The concert, called Fall Jam, raises money for the Big Red Barn Retreat, a Midlands organization that helps veterans, heroes and first responders thrive in life.
Fall Jam is being held at Township Auditorium, located at 1703 Taylor Street in Columbia, according to WACH. Lamont Christian visited WACH Fox studios to discuss the organization and the upcoming concert, the station reported. All event proceeds benefit the programs and training provided to active duty service members, veterans, and first responders, according to the Big Red Barn Retreat.
Tickets and VIP Perks
General admission tickets for the show range between $60 and $85, per the retreat's event page. VIP tickets run $100 each and include early entry to Township Auditorium at 5 p.m. along with a pre-show party featuring catered food, the organization says. Pit wristbands are available separately for $25 each.
Opening the show is Carter Lybrand, a graduate of the Big Red Barn Retreat's flagship training program, Warrior PATHH, according to Who's On The Move. The retreat says it offers Warrior PATHH and Struggle Well, which are PTG-based programs for its heroes, at no cost. Based in Blythewood, South Carolina, the Big Red Barn Retreat is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides programs and services to veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families, the outlet reports.
A Growth-Focused Mission
The retreat's approach centers on helping veterans reframe their experiences rather than simply manage them. Its executive director has said the organization uses a post-traumatic growth philosophy to help veterans shift their perspective, rewrite their story and live in the present, according to the Post and Courier. That philosophy underpins the free programs Fall Jam's ticket sales are meant to help sustain.
On the music side, Justin Moore brings a decorated catalog to the Township Auditorium stage. His single “Time's Ticking” marks his 14th No. 1 at country radio, according to the Big Red Barn Retreat's event listing.
A Recurring Fundraiser for the Midlands
Fall Jam has become an annual fixture for the organization, with the 2026 show described as the retreat's annual Fall Jam returning to the Township Auditorium, according to WIS. Last year's edition, held Nov. 8 at the same venue, featured Hartsville native and “American Idol” season 21 contestant Preston Duffree opening for headliner Rodney Atkins, per WIS's earlier coverage. That event's proceeds also went toward the Big Red Barn Retreat's mission to support military, veteran, and first responder communities, and veterans, active-duty military, reservists and first responders were eligible for discounted tickets, the station reported at the time.
