Grace Joyner

Last weekend The Royal American played host to The Third Annual Summer Shindig with a premium lineup from the Holy City’s sweetheart record label, Hearts & Plugs. Charleston Grit caught up with founder Dan McCurry and label-mate Grace Joyner to talk highlights of the label’s history and of the past year.

Hearts & Plugs Summer Shindig promises smooth grooves for the masses.

If this is any indication of Joyner’s future direction, then Charleston music fans will be fortunate onlookers.
