funk

Random Rab and saQi played Wednesday night at the Charleston Pour House as a stop on their North American Tour 2015.

Read on for 20+ excuses to relax, escape from the norm, and travel this summer to see where countless artists of all genres are popping up all over the country.

Saturday night at the Pour house was local award-winning band Sol Driven Train’s album release party, with opener BIG Something.

Friday night at the Charleston Pour House kicked off a weekend chock-full of great music. I got to meet the opening duo, Dean Spaniol and Luke Sipka, better known as Bells and Robes, and chatted with them briefly about their roots and musical pursuits.

From the huge hair to the skinny bellbottoms, Saturday night at the Music Farm was a lot of fun, but part of me would have rather been at home saving money and listening to a real Zeppelin record.

I speak for many when I say that the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, is a home away from home. This time, I got to return to the epic Aura Arts and Music Festival.

Truth be told, I had my doubts about this band. It is no easy feat to take on the legendary lights, music, and theatrics of the band that made history with their intensely conceptual and psychedelic multimedia events. However, I was pleasantly surprised.

Dead 27s, one of my favorite local bands, prove that not only can they mesmerize onstage, but that they're also awesome dudes to talk to.

New Orleans, Louisiana funk and jam band Dumpstaphunk gave us not only a name to remember, but also a killer live experience at the Pour House last Saturday night.

Grit-worthy Charleston events 2/13–2/14. Trust us, you'll have a blast.

Lettuce, the self-proclaimed “modern day rulers of old school funk,” and Break Science wowed the sold-out crowd at the Music Farm this past weekend.

Bear Creek Fest, which took place at the gorgeous Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, was four days of idyllic camping and amazing music at a crazy cool venue. Check out my recap!

Check out our recap of the Pour House performance by Particle, a new brand of jam band.

Cosby Sweater, joined by Andy Farag of Umphrey's McGee, has got the funk. Touring with The Fritz, their mission is to make you dance, which is exactly what we did...check them out!

Pretty Lights Music Label has some of the top names in electronic music under its umbrella. Check out our recap of their performance at the Music Farm last week.

Don't find yourself in a jam, and miss all the bands at this summer's first big music festival on the lovely grounds of the Charleston Tea Plantation. Here is a set by set list of who's playing.

Favorite live music venue: The Pour House. Least favorite thing at Pour House: Hawaiian shirt guy petting dog with his bare feet. I'll tell you about him, Encino Man, and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band

After a disappointing first experience seeing Steely Dan in 90s, I headed to the North Charleston Coliseum this past Sunday for another try. Here's my review of the show—set list and photos included
