Get ready to swing, sway, and let the good times roll because Folderol is bringing their irresistible jazz magic to the Bluffton Arts and Seafood Festival on Sunday, October 19, 2025, from 1:45 to 4:00pm! This powerhouse Hilton Head-based ensemble isn’t just a band—they’re a Lowcountry legend, dishing out dynamite vocals, toe-tapping rhythms, and that timeless swing that’ll have you dancin’ in the streets amid the salty sea air, fresh seafood scents, and vibrant art displays. Picture this: the sun high over the May River, a picnic spread of shrimp boils and craft brews at your feet, and Folderol’s soul-stirrin’ sounds transportin’ you straight to a golden era of jazz cool.
Hailing from the sun-soaked shores of Hilton Head Island, Folderol embodies the spirit of Lowcountry jazz with a fresh, fiery twist. Led by the electrifying vocalist Candice Rae—a time-travelin’ dynamo born decades too soon— the band channels the smoky allure of the 1940s into every note. Candice’s powerhouse pipes will wrap you in velvet nostalgia, makin’ you feel like you’ve crashed the hippest speakeasy under the stars. Backed by a tight-knit crew of island virtuosos on horns, keys, bass, and drums, Folderol blends classic swing, bebop flair, and a dash of contemporary groove that’s earned ’em top billing at the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra’s Jazz in the Park series. They’ve lit up the stage at Lowcountry Celebration Park at Coligny, headlinin’ free outdoor blowouts that pack the lawn with families, foodies, and fervent fans swayin’ till sunset.
But Folderol’s no stranger to festival fever—they’ve spiced up fundraisers like the Sea Glass Soiree at Coligny Theater with hors d’oeuvres, high-energy sets, and that signature charm that turns strangers into sing-along sidekicks. Their Facebook tribe (over 600 strong!) dubs ’em the ultimate “fol-de-rol”—pure joyful nonsense in the best way, servin’ up foolishness that’s equal parts heartfelt and hilarious. Whether they’re croonin’ standards that melt your heart or riffin’ originals that ignite the night, Folderol’s got the Lowcountry pulse: sultry, sophisticated, and unapologetically fun. Critics rave about their “seamless fusion” that echoes the greats while feelin’ utterly fresh, and locals can’t get enough of those live-wire performances that leave you buzzin’ long after the last encore.
Don’t miss this golden hour of groove at the Bluffton fest—grab your shades, a cold drink, and let Folderol whisk you away on a jazz-fueled joyride. It’s more than music; it’s the heartbeat of Hilton Head hittin’ the streets, promisin’ a set so infectious, you’ll be hummin’ their hooks all the way home. See you there—let’s make some memories!
