The Charleston Gaillard Center and Closing the Gap in Health Care, Inc. are thrilled to announce the return of the Lowcountry Jazz Festival, August 29 – 31, 2025—Charleston’s signature smooth jazz event. Under the direction of award-winning producer Tony Clarke, this special weekend of music, community, and celebration welcomes an all-star lineup of award-winning artists, including KEM, Boney James, Bob James, Pieces of a Dream, and Eric Darius.
This year’s festival is especially significant as it commemorates 20 years of Closing the Gap in Health Care, Inc., founded by Dr. Thaddeus J. Bell to advance health equity and education in underserved communities. Through innovative programs, outreach, and public health initiatives, Closing the Gap has worked tirelessly to reduce health disparities across South Carolina and the Southeast. The Lowcountry Jazz Festival remains the organization’s primary fundraiser, supporting this essential mission.
The weekend also serves as a cornerstone event in the Charleston Gaillard Center’s milestone 10th season, celebrating a decade of presenting world-class performances in the heart of downtown Charleston.
The festivities open with the All White Party on Friday, August 29, where guests don their finest white attire for an elegant evening of music and mingling. Headlining the night is Eric Darius, known for his dynamic stage presence and genre-blending style that fuses contemporary jazz, R&B, and pop. Darius has electrified audiences worldwide, making him the perfect artist to kick off the festival weekend.
