The always-festive GLIDE Annual Holiday Jam Show Up & Show Out is bringing the music home to the Tenderloin, returning to The Warfield on Thursday, November 13, for an unforgettable night of music and celebration. Now in its 40th year, the Holiday Jam blends powerhouse performances with community spirit, raising vital funds to support GLIDE’s mission of radical inclusion, unconditional love, and social justice.

 

This milestone concert will spotlight legendary R&B crooner El DeBarge, whose timeless hits and soaring falsetto have defined an era of soul music. Joining the Holiday Jam lineup is breakout hip-hop star and spoken word artist Ruby Ibarra - fresh off winning NPR’s 2025 Tiny Desk Contest and a sold-out 10-city tour. Additional performers include the young, energetic contemporary jazz violinist Dominique Hammons; rising jazz/funk star Miles Turk with Follow the Music; the nationally acclaimed GLIDE Ensemble and The Change Band, led by Zoe Ellis, with even more special guests to be announced.

 

Hosted by Priya David Clemens and featuring a spirited fundraising moment led by Liam Mayclem, the evening promises soul-stirring music, delectable dining, and joyful community connection. This San Francisco tradition inspires hope and raises essential funds for GLIDE’s work for individuals and families facing poverty, homelessness, and systemic injustice.

 

Tickets are on sale now at glide.org/holidayjam. Individual tickets are $100* and $500* with a special “Double Date” package that includes four balcony tickets and four drink tickets for $300. Sponsorships start at $2,500. For sponsorship details, email [email protected] or call (415) 674-6180.
