Live music in Columbia, SC

Look forward to a high-energy evening of big vocals, tight musicianship, and Southern soul as Cody Webb brings The Country Is Tour to Icehouse Amphitheater with special guest Casey James. Webb, a South Carolina native from Ridge Spring, pairs radio-friendly songwriting with a confident stage presence. His credits include co-writing "Memories Are Made Of" with Luke Combs and Ray Fulcher for Combs' multi-platinum debut "This One's For You," along with millions of streams and a fast-growing following. He has also shared stages with Morgan Wallen, Sam Hunt, and Riley Green while expanding his national touring reach. Casey James sets the tone as the opener. A top three American Idol finalist and veteran of the Texas music scene, he channeled soulful tenor vocals and standout guitar work into a major-label country career that produced the singles "Let's Don't Call It A Night" and "Crying on a Suitcase." He also tours with Texas Hill, whose album "Heaven Down Here" blends soul, R&B, country, and Southern rock. Together they offer a live show that bridges chart-ready country with blues-tinged authenticity.
