Sunday Trios Showcase with Mojo Parker’s Mojolation & The Nathan Moore Trio
Dear Friend of Staunton Jams,
Thank you for joining us for the Fall FundRager, October 17-19, 2025!
We are looking forward to once again uniting the Staunton community with music-lovers from near and far in a three-day showcase of the abundant local talent, as we have done since 2004, when Sarah Lynch birthed this beloved tradition. Staunton Jams is still produced bi-annually by an all volunteer administrative team, and has been community-funded since day one. As we move forward with becoming a 501c3, the biggest question we hear during our fundraising season is “what are you fundraising for,” so we are re-iterating our main objective: to grow community through music.
Staunton Jams grows our community by supporting local and regional musicians with paid performance opportunities, by producing partnership opportunities for local businesses and organizations to provide sponsorship and venue space, and by empowering community members to contribute by inviting volunteers, makervendors, and music lovers to share in the experience.
The Fall FundRager features 23 performances at 7 Sponsoring Venues plus a Main Stage right on W Beverley Street where it all began twentyone years ago, and provides a springboard for producing the Downtownwide Spring Festival coming May 1-3, 2026. Friday Night Kick-off events begin on October 17th, and continue with free, live music outdoors on the E&E Plumbing Main Stage on West Beverley St from 2-7pm on Saturday, October 18th. Sponsoring Satellite Venues include Baja Bean Co, Bricks Restaurant & Pub, The Green Room, Queen City Music Studios, and new partnering venue, Heard & Friends, with after-hours offerings as well. Sunday events include a Student & Teacher Showcase, Happy Hour Set, and a Trios Showcase with Mojo Parker and Nathan Moore at the American Shakespeare Center’s Blackfriars Playhouse.
All ages are welcome for free outdoor music. Some after-hours offerings are 21+ with some ticketed events as well. For more information about performers, community partners, and a digital schedule, visit our website and follow Staunton Jams on Facebook and Instagram. Donations towards The Fall FundRager can be made at Stauntonjams.com/donate.
We are sending our deepest appreciation to all of the businesses, organizations, and individuals that have continued to support Staunton Jams for over two decades.
With Gratitude,
The Staunton Jams All-Volunteer Administrative Team Molly Rose Murphy, Brian Fuller, Jennings Hobson, Jen Kidd and Mike Pressel
