recording

You may know of the West Ashley guitarist and singer Skye Paige (and if you don't, keep on reading)... but did you know she's with a new band? Get the scoop, and where to see them play TOMORROW, here

Here's what I liked about the '80s diva's performance last Wednesday... aaaand what I didn't. Plus, find out what Cyndi called an audience member out for and see 15+ photos from the show

Watching A-Rod got me thinking: How does someone—be it a baseball player, a writer, or a band—go from the minors to the majors? Here are my 4 CRITERIA for being a great band (or artist, or employee..)

Confession: I went for the smaller acts. Here's my take on the big show at the Family Circle Stadium last week, plus photos and my favorite act of the night

... Or am I lying to myself? IS there life in rock and roll after becoming a father? Here's what my fellow dad-friends and I have figured out so far...

The Royal Tinfoil gets weird in the recording studio in West Ashley as the band members work on their new album. Hint: having a liquor store next door is a PLUS....

Can emotional scars make awesome tunes? Do well-adjusted teens signal the end of quality rock? I may have a solution

Friday, local band Crowfield will play one last blowout at the Chas Music Hall. I sat down with frontman Tyler Mechem to talk about their breakup, the finale show, and what's next for the bandmates

... Whatever that means. But really, how's your voice? Good? Well here's your chance to be the next Leona Lewis or One Direction—The X Factor auditions are coming to North Chas March 19

There was plenty of chatter over whether Tim was spot on in his assessment of Luke Cunningham's performance in particular...

When you perform at the Music Hall, make no mistake: it's SHOWTIME. How did the local acts do? Here's my take on performances by Luke Cunningham, Slow Runner, and the Explorer's Club

The guys in A Fragile Tomorrow have friends in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Yet locally, the power pop stars are virtually ignored. How 'bout we all take notice? We can start with their show TOMORROW

They may have rhythm, good looks, and a magnetic personality, but I bet they don't have a refrigerator that looks like an amp. Here's this and more great gift ideas (from an award-winning blogger...)

My advice for taking in Friday night's show at the Music Farm, in a mere 20 Tips or Less. Really, buy me a Guinness and follow my advice. Only some of it though... Most of it doesn't even work for me

Do yourself a favor and read this: Local kids, too young to drink, set to release a CD with a major record producer at the controls. Why? There's much to A Fragile Tomorrow that may surprise you...

Halloween—the one night of the year I get to strip myself of sanity, flip the switch, and be somebody totally different

Topic A (Tyler Boone's new release, upcoming gig, and marketing scheme) + Topic B (Will local King City Records rule our airways?) = The Big Question: What does it take for a local band to make it?

Don't like metal music? Neither do I, but don't let that stop you from seeing the hit musical (and highly irreverent) Rock of Ages at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center tonight

... And as good as ever. The trio stopped by the North Charleston PAC on Wednesday, sharing songs from their new album, beloved 90's hits, and some top-notch entertainment
