Live Outside: Black Nerd Mafia

Join us for the 2025 season of Koger Center Presents Live Outside! Now on Friday evenings at 5 p.m., we’ve got a great lineup of free entertainment to kick off your weekend on the Plaza Stage at the Koger Center.

Black Nerd Mafia is an organization focused on promoting and supporting independent artists and creatives. They aim to challenge stereotypes and provide a platform for diverse expressions within the artist community. One of their projects is “The Cool Table,” a collective of independent artists from Columbia that puts strong emphasis on curating talent based on the quality and authenticity of the art rather than popularity or follower counts. Black Nerd Mafia and The Cool Table aim to create inclusive and unbiased spaces where the only criterion is artistic excellence.

The lineup of performers includes: Dem Boyz Good, Death Ray Robin, Milah, JB SamSon, Dooozy, Kuntry, and Kenya SPINZ.
