LADY STOUT to Headline Historic Columbia’s 2025 Jubilee: Festival of Black History & Culture
LADY STOUT's journey from singing in church at the age of three to performing at world-renowned stages like the Grammy Awards, Coachella, and NPR’s Tiny Desk is a testament to her incredible talent and undeniable presence.
The Legacy of Angie Stone: A Tribute from Her Hometown
As we celebrate African American Music Appreciation Month this June, Historic Columbia honors one of our city's most influential musical figures: Angie Stone. Born Angela Laverne Brown on December 18, 1961, in Columbia, South Carolina, Stone's journey from local gospel choirs to international acclaim embodies the rich tapestry of Black musical heritage.
