A Virginia based trio, Threesound, dips into the genres of funk, rock, pop and jazz to create something fresh. Through eclectic songwriting, soulful grooves, and soaring guitars, they deliver an organic and original sound filled with fat backbeats and smooth sensibilities. Their recent tour stops have taken them across the East coast with headlining dates as well as support for acts like Dogs in a Pile and Consider the Source.

👋 Hey JAMmers!

We are so excited to make a few announcements about the future of Staunton Jams. First, we want to thank all of you who have shown us support over the years through sponsorship, vending, performance, or showing up to dance your b***y off. It’s so encouraging to have the support of our community.

Since our successful May festival, we have taken time to reimagine what Staunton Jams looks like to best serve our community, its businesses, artists & performers, and our sponsors. Our strategic plan is to hold three festivals per year, with the May JAMS being our main event. Each May, we take over as much of Staunton as we can, bringing the whole city together in musical harmony.

This September 20-22, we will be hosting a Fall Equinox festival in the Wharf District, where we will bring the same festival energy you know and love with a more focused footprint.

Then, January 25 + 26, 2025, we will have an indoor “processional” style festival focused on Beverley St. moving attendees from one venue to another to shake off the winter blues.

We are incredibly excited to share even MORE news with you this week, so be sure to follow our page for more updates. Our sponsorship packets will be available tomorrow, vendor applications will open very soon, and the initial lineup for the September fest will be published THIS FRIDAY!
