We've all closed up shop for the holiday weekend, and will be back blogging on Monday. But we're leaving you with our top 5 picks for upcoming festivities, because get ready: the holidays are ON...

"There are wines that make me want to go home and go to sleep, and... wines that make me want to go home and have sex with my wife." —Harry Root. (I'll tell you which he poured at his recent tasting)

Friday night I headed to the Memminger Auditorium for an evening to honor those who've given our community so much—as well as a darn good time. Get the scoop on the 8th Annual Giving Back Awards here!

Seriously, though—weird shit happens to, near, in front of, or around me constantly. The latest of which involves a shiny-eyed poodle and a trip to Bed Bath & Beyond. Story—and a question for you—here

What are you doing this weekend? Why not head to Legare Farms for a sensational local music line-up to benefit a longtime supporter of local bands who's battling cancer—and we want to help her win

Love softball? Or local celebs like Bill Murray? Or Louie's Kids? Or helping others? Or smiling? Then get yourself to Saturday's Slim Down the South Celebrity Softball Game. Get the deets here!

My interview with one of my favorite songwriters, on fame (his songs have hit a true pop culture sweet spot, heard on Parenthood, How I Met Your Mother, House, and others), family, and why he writes

It's November and finally chilly... So soup season's official! Here are my 10 faves—including the likes of Jalapeño Popper, Pumpkin Chipotle, and Spinach & Artichoke Dip soups. Bonus? They're low carb

Plus! The local musician's video that became a huge Grit hit and where you can see him tonight... maybe for the last time

As Tyler Mechem prepares to move to Indiana, he'll be playing one last show this Friday. Get the scoop on where and when, plus the reason for the move and his take on the future of Chas' music scene

The first day of the Southern Ground Music & Food Festival featured great sets by AJ Ghent, Dawes, Natalie Maines, and a cover-heavy set by the Zac Brown Band

Grit doesn't usually post on Sunday (it being the Sabbath, and all...) but this shirtless Tigers fan dousing ESPN in beer yesterday made us think twice. This is one dance number you have to see...

The Zac Brown Band returns to Daniel Island this weekend with an impressive pack of pals (like Willie Nelson, Band of Horses, and The Head & The Heart). Here are my top picks for the two-day show...

And neither can we. How can a country get to the point where the spirit of our parties blinds us, and common sense is no longer a go-to for moving forward? It's not as intentional as you might think

What did last weekend's Panic show with a crowd of thousands and a local house concert with a crowd of two-dozen have in common? Lots, actually. And if you were in that crowd—you were part of it

These three bands broke all of my rules for planning a big show—they're basically doing the opposite of what I'd do. But I'll tell you why this is still a big-time must-see performance...

...There's only one place you need to be this Saturday. We'll tell you all about the 4th annual Mac Off, which restaurants are competing, and, wait—did somebody say "zip line?" (Yes.)

So summer's over—time to pack up the swimsuit and stay inside? Heck no. Early fall's the perfect time to hit the water and try your hand at my newest obsession: SUP yoga. Here's why...

Have a ticket to next weekend's Wine, Women & Shoes? With vendors like C. Wonder, shoe models including Tara, Chassity, and Natalie, and proceeds supporting a SC nonprofit, you won't want to miss it

Before they take an extended break, local band Slow Runner's playing one last show (for a while at least) at the Chas Music Hall Friday. Here's the scoop on the show, plus the reason for the hiatus
