Awendaw Green's long-running Wednesday night Barn Jam is about as close to a Charleston-area institution as outdoor music gets. Each week, original-music acts take the stage under a canopy of live oaks at this beloved spot north of the city on Highway 17, drawing a laid-back crowd of locals and curious visitors alike.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the vibe is reliably casual — bring a blanket or a lawn chair, grab a drink, and settle in. At just $5 at the door, it's one of the better deals around for a live music night out.
