2020 ELECTION

Shifting Power

Watch these 5 Charleston-area state Senate races in November BY LINDSAY STREET

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 09.30.2020

As Democrats seek to flip four Senate seats in the Lowcountry in the Nov. 3 election, Republicans are looking to wrest five Democratic seats in reddening rural districts in the Upstate and Midlands.

6

Of the Senate’s 46 seats, 27 currently are held by Republicans and 19 are held by Democrats. There are 32 seats facing a general election challenge in the Senate, but not all are competitive. As with the House races, changing demographics for the Charleston area and for rural parts of the state are the ingredients to making a competitive race. “Democrats could pick up four races in Charleston County, and if Democrats win four races in Charleston County, they would be looking at a tie (in the Senate),” Democratic strategist Tyler Jones of Charleston said, adding that a tie could benefit Democrats since not all Republicans vote along party lines. He said a tie would have big consequences in 2021, a redistricting year. But getting to a tie will be hard since Republicans are looking to pick up five Democratic seats. “No fear at all about losing the Senate at all,” South Carolina Republican Party Chair Drew McKissick said. “There are seats that are ripe for Republicans to win in this cycle in the Senate.” McKissick said having President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham at the top of the ticket as well as having a strong lawand-order message will create voter enthusiasm, which helps bring more people to the polls. Republican candidates are aiming to make gains in Democratic-held Senate districts in Camden, Greenwood, Spartanburg and Richland counties. On the other side of the aisle, however, Democrats see an opportunity to attract voters amid health disparities and economic woes tied to the pandemic, and amid calls for policing reforms from minority communities. Here are the five local state Senate races to watch in November, according to political observers.

Senate District 37 (Moncks Corner)

Republican Sen. Larry Grooms was first elected in a 1997 special election. Democratic challenger and communications professional Kathryn Whitaker is seeking to flip the seat. Grooms was unopposed GROOMS in the general elections in 2016 and 2012. Much of the district lies in Republican territory of Berkeley County, which voted for Republican congressional candidate Katie Arrington over Democratic candidate Joe WHITAKER Cunningham in 2018. Still, Grooms only has a slight edge with individual campaign contributions as of July 10 with $189,144.20. Whitaker reported $115,051.31.

Senate District 38 (Summerville) Republican Sen. Sean Bennett won his Summerville seat and has maintained it since 2012 without a general election challenger. That will change in November with a Democratic bid from John Lowe, a Navy BENNETT veteran who retired from Charleston County School District in 2019. Like Berkeley County, Dorchester County — the majority of the district — also remains red despite the growing population outside Charleston. Fundraising

by financial planner Bennett dwarfed Lowe’s haul. According to July 10 campaign finance reports, Bennett reported $86,788.20 in contributions and Lowe reported $805 in contributions.

LOWE

Senate District 41 (Charleston) This race is one of the most talked about among senators and political observers. Even Republican Sen. Sandy Senn talked about her reelection chances on the Senate floor this month. Senn, a lawyer, is SENN being challenged by Democratic candidate Sam Skardon for this Charleston seat that helped give Cunningham his surprise 2018 win to Congress. Skardon, a former aide to the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis of SKARDON Atlanta, has a background in community development financing organizations. Individual contributions as of July 10 showed a tight race with Senn reporting $189,637.32, and Skardon reporting $174,167.

Senate District 43 (Charleston) Republican Sen. Chip Campsen is seeking a fifth term for this seat that he has represented since 2004 when he defeated his Democratic opponent by nearly 9,000 votes. He hasn’t faced a Democratic challenger since. In

CAMPSEN

November, he will face Mount Pleasant attorney Richard Hricik. Attorney and businessman Campsen has championed conservation measures, which have earned him his HRICIK tenure in the Charleston seat. But Hricik has countered Campsen’s long record in the Senate by saying voters deserve a candidate focused on many issues, such as education and health care — not just conservation. According to the July 10 campaign reports, Hricik has received $138,414.20 in individual contributions, and Campsen has received $187,011.70 for this election.

Senate District 44 (Charleston) With Republican Sen. Paul Campbell retiring this year, this Charleston-area Berkeley County seat is up for grabs. Campbell has held the seat since 2008 and never faced a general election challenger. But now, Democrats feel BRYANT confident for a flip in a district that Cunningham won in 2018. Democratic candidate Debbie Bryant, a former dean of nursing, is competing against retired North Charleston police officer Brian Adams, a ADAMS Republican, for the seat. One political observer noted Bryant having a fundraising advantage over Adams, who previously ran for Berkeley County Sheriff and won an election to Berkeley County School Board only to resign weeks later. In July, Adams reported $5,685 in contributions, while Bryant reported $56,709.44 in contributions.

RIVERDOGS HOLDING ‘BOBBLECTION’ WITH BIDEN, TRUMP BOBBLE HEADS

SC RESIDENTS PAID $10K IN 2017 INCOME TAXES WHILE TRUMP PAID $750, PER NY T

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 09.30.2020

South Carolina taxpayers paid, on average, more than 10 times the income taxes reportedly paid by President Donald Trump in 2017, according to reporting by The New York Times. Trump reportedly paid $750 in 2017, and paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years, according to the Times. To put that in a local perspective, South Carolina taxpayers paid, on average, $10,258 in federal income taxes on 2017 earnings, according to the National Priorities Project, a Massachusetts-based think tank. South Carolina’s median household income was $51,015 in 2018, according to the Census Bureau. The Times obtained the Trump tax returns after a years-long legal fight by the president to keep them under wraps. The disclosures show some Trump-run businesses generate large profits, but also sustain substantial losses. In one of a series of articles about the disclosures published Sunday, Times reporters wrote: “His reports to the IRS portray a businessman who takes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year yet racks up chronic losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes. Now, with his financial challenges mounting, the records show that he depends more and more on making money from businesses that put him in potential and often direct conflict of interest with his job as president.” —Sam Spence

WEST ASHLEY HOME IN HISTORIC COMMUNITY RELOCATED WITH PLANS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING A 1950s house in West Ashley was lifted off its foundation and whisked to a new plot of land on the corner of Battery and 5th avenues in Maryville/Ashleyville on Sept. 24 to be refurbished and sold as permanent affordable housing. “We started on this round about three years ago, and at the time, Diane [Hamilton] and I were involved in the Revitalization Commission,” said real estate businessman Charlie Smith. “She was particularly involved in the up and coming land trust, and I had thought the land trust would be a great idea if we could find a plot to set it on.” Hamilton is the president of the Maryville/ Ashleyville Neighborhood Association, and has worked to ensure the project is done with her community in mind. The house isn’t the only element of the project: The plot of land itself was donated to the Charleston Land Trust. “We approached the land trust and talked with some folks at the city and with the Historic Charleston Foundation,” Smith said. “It had all the right elements for this kind of synergy with both affordable housing and historic preservation, as well as to get people to pay attention to the history of Maryville/Ashleyville.”

The land will remain with the trust for the next 198 years, so only the cost of the house will be passed on to its new owners, keeping it affordable in near perpetuity. “It’s cheaper because you have taken the cost of the land out of the equation,” Hamilton said. “Plus, there are subsidies added to make it even more affordable. Then, you can pass it on to whoever you choose, which is why the land stays with the trust for so long. “When you think of buying property, you think you own the dirt too,” she said. “But with a land trust, you don’t own the dirt, but you have every right to the home just like any other property owner. You maintain it, you can paint it, you can change it, whatever you want.” Now that the home has been moved and the land donated, the house will be renovated, so the next owners will have a refurbished, affordable home. “I think affordable housing is really important to everyone, but here in our neighborhood, it’s a reversal,” Hamilton said. “Housing here is still affordable, and that’s why you see so many people buying up properties in the area, but it won’t stay like this beyond one lifetime.” —Skyler Baldwin

Tickets are now on sale for the Charleston RiverDogs’ 2020 Bobblection Oct. 17. The Bobblection is the mock election held every four years where RiverDogs fans “vote” by purchasing a bobblehead of their presidential candidate of choice. Voters will get their choice between a President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. The RiverDogs’ Bobblection has correctly predicted every presidential contest since 2004, the team said in a press release. Bobbleheads will be available for pick-up via drive-thru at the Saturday event, hosted in the RiverDogs’ ballpark parking lot due to COVID-19 precautions. Other teams in the RiverDogs’ ownership group, New York’s Hudson Valley Renegades and Minnesota’s St. Paul Saints, will also participate in the Bobblection, acting as different “precincts” for voters. Tickets are $30 for the event, which covers the cost of the bobblehead. The event starts at 11 a.m. Oct. 17. —Heath Ellison

TAX BREAKS TAKE MILLIONS FROM SC SCHOOLS, REPORT SAYS

Local school districts stand to lose thousands of dollars per child when a corporation lands a county tax break in South Carolina. Corporate subsidy tracker Good Jobs First found public school districts in the Palmetto State lost $423 million in fiscal year 2019 from economic development deals that seek to trade property taxes — a key funder of education in the state — for jobs. Brutal South newsletter, penned by former Charleston City Paper reporter Paul Bowers, first wrote about the Good Jobs First look at county tax breaks’ impact on South Carolina schools. At least 72 of the state’s 81 school districts suffered negative revenue impacts, according to the report. Poor school districts in Dorchester, Greenwood, Chester, Orangeburg, Barnwell and Calhoun counties lost more than $2,000 per student. By dollar amount, the biggest losses were reported by Berkeley County School District and Greenville County School District—$54 million and $41 million, respectively. Greenville, Charleston, Anderson, Aiken, Lexington, Spartanburg, Chester, Florence, Richland, Lancaster and York counties lost more than $10 million each. “Our members struggle to teach in crumbling schools with poor heating and cooling systems and a lack of reliable internet connections,” South Carolina Education Association President Sherry East said in a statement on the report. “It baffles me to continuously hear we don’t have enough money to fund our schools, yet this report shows we are diverting huge pots of money that could be available if we just consider tax reform in South Carolina.” —Lindsay Street

BLOTTER O’ THE WEEK Officers were alerted to an unknown woman slamming on a downtown home’s door, “trying to break it down.” When officers arrived, the woman stated that she thought the home was an Airbnb and she was there to participate in an orgy. Has she never seen Eyes Wide Shut? You get into orgies by saying “Fidelio,” not breaking a door down.

The Blotter is taken from reports filed with Charleston Police Department between Sept. 17 and Sept. 21. No one described in this section has been found guilty, just unlucky. A woman in West Ashley informed officers $5,000 was stolen from her vehicle, which she claimed had its window pried open. Officers noted the window had no damage, at which point she admitted that she left her car unlocked. Just like that, the suspect went from being someone with the ability to crack into a locked vehicle to anyone with hands who likes money. A West Ashley man realized his child’s Social Security card was missing recently after searching for it. Not like it’ll be useful by the time he retires anyway. A West Ashley woman received an email from a home goods store alerting her that the water heater she purchased a few months before had been returned. The twist: She didn’t return the water heater. Someone’s in hot water.

A man’s car was struck by another motorist while driving on Glenn McConnell Parkway. The victim followed the offender to a parking lot, realizing the man that hit him was someone he knew from high school. Taking the awkward “running into people from high school” thing to the next level. One man told police officers that he may have failed the first part of his standardized field sobriety test due to having a “stigmatism.” Safe to say the cops saw right through this idiot’s defense. A customer managed to trick two cashiers into giving her $540 in undue change at a local grocery store. That’s either A+ flimflammery or F- cashiering. Judging from the details of the report, it seems like a little bit of both.

Security footage showed two men running out of a local lingerie store with roughly $8,000 worth of underwear and other merchandise. Steal that much lingerie and you get two bonus pairs of handcuffs. Officers received a call regarding a drunk guy stealing a woman’s keys and refusing to return them. When officers arrived, the man threw the keys on the ground. Officers did not attempt to retrieve them, so the man picked them back up and went inside his house. Well, he gave them a chance. After spending time at a downtown strip club, a man found his loaded AR-15 and loaded Glock-19 were stolen from his car. Earlier in the night, he showed the firearms to an unknown man at the club claiming to be a SLED agent. Something tells me that dude wasn’t SLED. At least one other gun, two magazines and three catalytic converters were stolen from motor vehicles between Sept. 17 and 21.

Elect Joe Biden. We need a real leader.

T

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 09.30.2020

his country needs a real leader. It needs vision, or at the very least a president who cares about others, doesn’t lie and seeks solutions. America must elect Joe Biden on Nov. 3. Biden would make a fine president even if it were a normal election year. This is not a normal year. Biden’s life and experience as a public servant make him eminently qualified to serve as commander in chief. Barack Obama obviously thought so, which is why he asked Biden to be his vice president. Of course, qualifications and credentials have become all but irrelevant in our currently warped political reality. Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and he has had hundreds of chances to prove his doubters wrong. Unfortunately, his presidency has been an abject failure. Full stop. Biden is not a traditional change candidate, but his perspective makes him uniquely suited for this moment. Even after nearly 50 years in Washington, Biden is a rare political creature who has not fallen victim to the cynical, destructive environment that has poisoned national politics. Forged from when he was first elected to the U.S. Senate as a young man and into his days as vice president, Biden is a consensus builder with a proven ability to get things done. The Congress of 2021 will be different and even more partisan than the one he left in 2009, but Biden will have an opportunity to lead with focus, honed over eight years as vice president — more than our current president has done in the past four. Combined with victories by Democrats like Jaime

10

Harrison in the U.S. Senate, Biden will be in a position to help rebuild our institutions, including regulatory and safety net programs dismantled by the current administration. Biden will also need to lead efforts to reassert the powers of the legislative branch on critical policies as right-wing ideologues tee up challenges that threaten equal rights, freedom of speech and abortion before the Trump-packed conservative Supreme Court. Biden is not perfect. He is not a progressive leader like the ones grassroots Democrats voted for in the 2018 midterm elections and pushed for in the 2020 presidential primary. Still, he will look after America’s long-suffering working class more than the current president. He will build on the good work done early in the Obama administration, such as the Affordable Care Act. He will restore respect for America from our allies. A new president will not cure this nation’s ills. We will be living for a long time with the lingering effects of four years of incompetence, manipulation and lies. A vote for Biden signals the rejection of the deceit and dysfunction that has seized control of our political system and threatens to unravel our American experiment. Instead of today’s reality TV politics that abandon morals in favor of political bloodsport, Biden’s presidency will help build communities, expand opportunities and ensure equality for people in South Carolina who have been left behind. America needs a change. It needs a real leader. Elect Joe Biden on Nov. 3.

A Future Age How Ruth Bader Ginsburg helped shift SC thinking on gender equality

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 09.30.2020

When Vickie Eslinger was blocked from a job as a page in the South Carolina Senate in 1971, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one of her lawyers. Ginsburg would later become known for her dissenting opinions, potent intellectual mileposts that she described as “speaking to a future age.” But long before she was writing for the colleagues that would follow her on the Supreme Court, she made a significant impact as a lawyer. Speaking at a remembrance for the late justice in Columbia last week, Eslinger remembered her as a precise, persistent advocate for her personally and for equality in general. “I did not realize at the time that I was talking to and meeting with the architect of an incremental legal strategy for achieving women’s rights and equality under the law,” said Eslinger, who now works as an attorney. Ginsburg wasn’t the only lawyer on Eslinger’s case. Through a colleague at the American Civil Liberties Union, the team sought out “a bright and energetic young lawyer who graduated near the top of her class” named Jean Toal. Toal was one of just three female attorneys in South Carolina who tried cases in court at that

12

time, Ginsburg wrote in the foreword to Toal’s 2015 memoir. Seventeen years later, in 1988, Toal became the first female justice on the South Carolina Supreme Court. Five years after that, Ginsburg was appointed to the United States Supreme Court, the second woman in its history. Last week, on the steps of the Supreme Court in Columbia where she would eventually rise to chief justice, Toal remembered Ginsburg as focused in her work. Helping plan strategy for cases like Eslinger’s in South Carolina, alongside attorneys like Toal, Ginsburg was intentional about building the legal framework for gender equality. “Her approach, beginning in 1970, to the completely unwinnable cases for gender equality that she took on was strategic, long-thinking and patient,” Toal said. Eslinger’s case found its way to the U.S. Court of Appeals, where the judicial panel ruled in her favor in 1973, calling the state’s contrived case, “counter to modern law and modern social thinking.” Of course, working with Eslinger was not the only time Ginsburg helped bend modern thinking. “She had a major impact on all American women

whether they know it or acknowledge it or not,” Eslinger said in Columbia last week. Two months before Eslinger was decided, Ginsburg sat before the all-male Supreme Court in another equality case and quoted Sarah Grimke, the Charleston-native abolitionist and equal rights activist, who said, “I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.” Toal said the line “was bolder than I had ever seen her do before.” Fifty years later, Ginsburg’s Grimke quotation came to personify her persona as an effective dissenter. Today, Ginsburg’s opinions in cases like Lilly Ledbetter’s pay equity case have become law, all preceded by earlier work challenging prevailing thinking in places like South Carolina. “It’s not simply to say, ‘My colleagues are wrong and I would do it this way,’” Ginsburg told NPR’s Nina Totenberg in 2002. “The greatest dissents do become court opinions, and gradually, over time, their views become the dominant view.” Sam Spence is editor of Charleston City Paper.

KEEPING COUNT How the 2020 census will put millions of dollars in the hands of local communities

BY SKYLER BALDWIN

outh Carolina’s 2020 census response rate sits at 60.2 percent, below the national average of 66.3 percent. Those non-responders could cost their communities a small fortune.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 09.30.2020

More than $675 billion in federal funds are up for grabs every year for the next 10 years, and population statistics gathered from the U.S. Census determines where that money goes. “It’s everything from major highway planning and job training programs to wildlife grants in the rural areas, which might not be top-of-mind for many but are critically important,” said Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments regional strategist Daniel Brock. “The importance of an accurate count cannot be overstated.” Currently, the Trump administration is appealing a federal judge’s decision that extends the federal Census Bureau’s time to complete the national census through October. More than the funding, representation in Congress is also based on population, so an accurate count is important at a much larger scale for our democracy. With a lower response rate, funding and representation will work off the assumption that fewer people make their home here. “That means that the money will not cover as many people as it needs to cover,” said Marilyn Stephens, assistant STEPHENS regional census manager for the Atlanta Region Census Bureau. “Infrastructure, health care, flu shots — it’s key to having the resources we need for the next 10 years.”

Everyday programs like those dealing with education, social services like SNAP and WIC, affordable housing, senior services, services for veterans and massive community development block grants are just a few on a very long list of federally funded programs dependent on the count of this year’s census. In 2015, highway planning and construction accounted for $38.48 “Infrastructure, billion in federal funding in the U.S. health care, flu shots School lunch programs were given — it’s key to having the $18.92 billion, and historic preservation measured in at $34.17 million. resources we need for Even hurricane relief funding uses the next 10 years.” population measurements gathered —Marilyn Stephens, assistant regional census from the U.S. census — Hurricane manager for the Atlanta Region Census Bureau Sandy recovery grants totaled $3.35 billion in 2015. And while vaccines for the rapidly approaching flu season are often available free of charge, the supplies are federally funded. The money has to come from somewhere, and the determining factor is, you guessed it, population data. Other programs that can go unnoticed, like unemployment benefits ($3.12 billion in 2015), are funded based on population and have been a critical lifeline through the pandemic.

Going through changes Even before pandemic-induced upheaval, the Charleston area experienced massive change since the last census in 2010. “The region has grown and matured exponentially,” Brock said. “You’re looking at greater than 20 percent population growth, which is three times the national average, major manufacturing and employment advances, a booming port and the tourism industry on warp speed. Basically, the Charleston region went international in the last decade.” The population explosion will make “You’re looking at it even more important, and difficult, greater than 20 percent to get an accurate count this year, as population growth, the influx of new Charlestonians is which is three times the showing no signs of slowing. Three South Carolina municipalinational average, major ties found themselves in the top 100 manufacturing and in the nation for population growth employment advances, since the last census in 2010. a booming port and the Mount Pleasant has posted the nation’s 12th-highest growth rate tourism industry on over that time, swelling from 68,360 in 2010 to 91,684 last year, according warp speed.” to census estimates — a 34.1 percent — Daniel Brock, Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester increase. Greenville is ranked No. 70, Council of Governments regional strategist growing by 19.2 percent, and North Charleston comes in at No. 88 with 18.2 percent growth. The city of Charleston has the nation’s 138th-highest growth rate, with 14.3 percent growth over the previous nine years. Despite the ever-growing numbers, every individual reached makes a big impact. “That’s what this is all about,” Stephens said, “getting every resident to understand that the programs that are important to you are tied to these census numbers. This is how America knows what Americans need.”

Federal Dollars Distributed Using Census Bureau Data in Fiscal Year 2015 The annual federal budget allocates tax dollars to federal programs and departments to support public projects in communities based on census figures. Here are some of the budget items funded in 2015 based on census information.

A ways to go As of writing, census response rates are just below the national average of 66.3 percent and far below the state and local numbers collected in 2010.

Knocking on doors “But, despite all of that, all the hard work of the elected officials, the community organizations, business leaders and more to get the word out and talk about how important the census is,” Stephens said, “I believe the areas have done a terrific job.” Those tasked with bumping up the numbers have had to get creative this year, as the census itself looks very different from 10 years ago. “The only way to respond in 2010 was by mail,” Stephens said. “Most people don’t remember this, but in 2000, there was an internet option, but the internet was so new, we

didn’t publicize it as an option. But, this is the first census where we offered three options to self-respond: online, by phone or by mail.” Despite the struggles, boosting census responses is an all-hands effort for local governments. North Charleston currently sits at a 53.3 percent response rate, compared to neighboring Charleston’s 64.1 percent. “Everywhere from the mayor down, we’ve pushed pretty hard on it,” said Ryan Johnson, who runs public relations and economic development for the city of North Charleston. “The mayor has done news pieces on it, we’ve done a lot of social media work and we’ve had census folks at the local farmer’s market.” A lack of person-to-person contact has made participation difficult in Charleston County, despite the vast majority of responders using the online option. More than half of Charleston County’s 61.1 percent of self-responders filled out the 2020 census online. “We are obviously constrained with public events, so it’s hard to get the word out that way,” Johnson said. “But, we are using any kind of avenue that’s available right now. It’s just difficult when we are so heavily relying on digital, considering the current environment.” As limited as they have been, creativity seems to have been sparked by the constraints. On Twitter, North Charleston has been sharing off-the-wall messages promoting the census throughout September. “Not recommended: climbing on icebergs. Recommended: completing the census,” one Tweet read. The city’s social media outreach certainly grabs attention. But will it convert to dollars and political clout for North Charleston’s communities? We’ll know in a few months when census officials report back.

Not only have the numbers grown, so too have those the numbers represent in the Charleston area. “A lot happens in a decade,” Stephens explained. “We have a millennial population that’s 18-34. Ten years ago, some of them were 8 years old, so chances are this is the first time many folks have responded to a census on their own, and in 2020 of all years.” Logistical challenges of the count aside, census takers can also hit historical and cultural roadblocks that can lead to lower response rate. “You look at the demographics of the nation, and in South Carolina, a large percentage of it is minorities that have a historical distrust of a government that abused them,” Stephens said. “They feel disenfranchised and concerned about their information being used in an adverse manner. “In many minority households, at the turn of the century, the early parts of the U.S. census, the children were told to hide so the census workers wouldn’t know how many people were there,” she explained. “A lot of that has been handed down from generation to generation.” That apparent systemic aversion to the count, coupled with the coronavirus pandemic could be one leading cause of the challenges that have led to South Carolina’s low response rate.

Chamber Music Charleston planned a great 2020-21 concert season. The Lowcountry musicians dedicated to developing classical music audiences had performances scheduled by a clarinet, bassoon and piano trio, a program exploring the life of Ludwig van Beethoven, a guest appearance by violinist Amy Schwartz Moretti and a “Classical Christmas” program for the holidays. And despite the toll that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on live events, the group is still hosting their concerts online. Starting earlier this month and continuing until the pandemic is under control, concerts will be filmed and streamed from a private YouTube link for two weeks after the performances. Unlike some other venues and arts organizations that have done free livestreaming, Chamber Music Charleston (CMC) is providing this service to ticket buyers only as a way of generating revenue. “We knew from the beginning that we were really going to stick to our plan,” said CMC’s president and artistic director, Sandra Nikolajevs. “We announced the season back in February and we had really great ticket sales, so we were confident that people wanted to see us play. The problem was figuring out how to make it come together in a safe way.” Which was not an easy task, considering that the group had little or no experience with streaming concerts before the pandemic began. In fact, CMC didn’t document their programs much in general. “We only professionally audio-recorded our larger performances, and very rarely vid-

eotaped our performances,” Nikolajevs said. “We didn’t really have money in the budget for videography or audio recording, and not much experience.” Luckily, Nikolajevs had people who were willing to give her a crash course in recording and streaming performances, and she had family help her out for the first program, which was recorded on Sept. 13. “I did it with the help of my 15-year-old son,” she said, “using three different video cameras. And we had really good audio recording equipment. On Sunday we spent about three hours playing through the program, and then on Sunday night we edited it, and the next morning we uploaded it to YouTube so that we could send a link to all of the ticket holders to be able to watch it.” CMC offered free content throughout the summer while they were getting up to speed on streaming technology, but the plan to offer the season’s performances to ticket holders only was firmly in place from the beginning. “We knew that once the season began that it would be really important for us to still capture ticket income,” Nikolajevs said. “Our ticket income will be greatly reduced, but our expenses will be slightly higher because we had to invest in the videography and we still pay our musicians the full rate. So we had to have a bit of a paywall, and that we did by sending out more private links to the ticket holders. So in order to watch it, you had to have had communication with us to get the information.” Given the circumstances, however, Nikolajevs said it made sense to reduce ticket prices once they realized concerts

would be virtual. “We decided $60 was a bit too much for a virtual concert, so we’re now selling them for $20,” she said, “and we also have a subscription discount.” The virtual format has also allowed CMC to expand their approach beyond performing music. “We’re selling tickets for a full concert, with introductions to the music, the musicians are speaking and there’s a tour of the venues we’re playing,” Nikolajevs said. “We’re trying to capture the spirit of Charleston and the unique venues we have. We’re going to take the time to highlight the Sottile Theatre and the renovations. The concert will open up with a tour of the Sottile and then it will land on the musicians playing the concert.” As much as Nikolajevs would like these performances of beautiful compositions to take place in front of a crowd, she’s excited about the possibilities the concerts have provided. “I have to admit I love it,” she said. Nikolajevs said she’s also gotten positive feedback from ticket buyers. “About 85 percent of our ticket holders have watched the performances, so we’re thrilled at the audience response we’ve gotten,” she said. “A lot of our audience members are in the higher-risk category, and they get such a sense of comfort that they can feel like they’re at the concert and not have to leave the safety of their homes.” Learn more about livestreaming Chamber Music Charleston concerts and purchase tickets at chambermusiccharleston.org.

David Lee Nelson, a former Charleston actor, comedian and playwright died Thursday morning. Nelson was best known in recent years for work that addressed his cancer; Stages took a blunt, comedic look at his diagnosis with colon cancer. The Greenville County Coroner’s office confirmed Nelson’s death. He was 42. Nelson left Charleston in 2016 to pursue bigger acting gigs in Atlanta and most recently was based out of Greenville working as a professor at Furman University. He married his wife Jaimie Malphrus in a small ceremony at Greenville’s Bon Secours St. Francis hospital earlier this year. Former City Paper editor, Kinsey Gidick, who covered Nelson’s work for years, said she’ll remember him for his writing — and his ability to continue writing through life’s tragedies. “I’ll remember all that and I’ll write it down here,” said Gidick. “Because, as he said, that’s the only thing that gives the devastating news of his premature death any purpose.” —Connelly Hardaway

LONGTIME SPOLETO FESTIVAL DIRECTOR NIGEL REDDEN RETIRING IN 2021

Spoleto Festival USA’s longtime General Director Nigel Redden will step down from his position in October 2021, the festival announced Thursday. Redden has held the general director position at the festival since 1995. “The cancellation of the 2020 Festival and the enforced isolation of the last several months have made me realize that, after nearly 35 years since I first joined Spoleto Festival USA, it is time for me to retire,” Redden said in a press release. “I have no doubt the Festival will continue to thrive, and I will be excited to see how the organization evolves under new leadership.” Redden has been an integral part of Charleston’s world-class arts festival since 1986, when he joined as general manager. He departed in 1991, but returned in 1995 after the festival had “suffered significant deficits.” Redden helped the event build endowments, renovate venues like Dock Street Theatre and the Charleston Gaillard Center and staged many world and U.S. premiere productions. Spoleto has not yet named a replacement for Redden, but Bill Medich, Chairman of the Board of Spoleto Festival USA said the search for a new general director will begin immediately. “Nigel’s successful tenure, along with the Festival’s sterling reputation and organizational and financial strength, puts Spoleto Festival USA in a position to attract the highest caliber candidates,” said Medich. —CH

It was most likely 1982. One late night I was staying at my Granny and Granddaddy’s house on James Island. Aside from scarfing down any food my grandmama set in front of me or drawing pictures of monsters and cats, I was likely flipping through the cable TV guide looking for horror movies to watch on either HBO or the late, great Movie Channel. One particular film I was searching for was Max Kalmanowicz’s The Children, a movie about children that turn into atomic zombies that can melt their parents just by hugging them. Sounds awesome right? Heaven knows the picture of pale, smiling kids with their arms outstretched for radioactive hugs had me sold. According to the grid, The Movie Channel was going to show it around two in the morning. If I set my alarm clock, I could probably sneak out of my grandparents’ guest bedroom and watch this piece of greatness for myself. That night I attempted to fall asleep but couldn’t do it. I was worried I would sleep through the alarm. As the minutes trudged by, before I knew it, it was 2 o’clock. The little alarm wailed for a split second before my hand muffled it. I could hear Grandaddy snoring in the next room. With that, I crept slowly toward the living room, using a night light in the dining room as my guide. I could somewhat make out the silhouette of my grandparent’s Zenith. I really wanted to flip on a light to see what I was doing, but I knew one flicker could wake up Granny and I definitely didn’t want to incur her wrath. I could only imagine the greatness I was about to witness — little kids my age hugging their parents — to death! I slowly sat in front of the television. I quietly turned the TV knob I didn’t know what this to the “on” position. The box let Friday the 13th was but out a quick hum before the image I knew right then and there popped onto the screen. As it came into view, I could see an ad for I needed to see more of it. channel five news with future Best of Charleston winner Bill Sharpe’s smiling visage all up in my tiny grill. I looked at the cable box that rested upon the TV. I quietly pressed the correct button so it wouldn’t make the loud click sound it sometimes made. Success ... kinda. The image on the screen was showing some older kids in a truck and then some smiley girl with a backpack in a truck with an older grumpy guy yelling at her about a camp and saying, “Quit!” I looked at the screen, confused. I realized, after a minute of sleuthing (aka re-reading the cable guide) that The Children was actually set to air the next day. The movie listed as currently showing was something called Friday the 13th. I was about as crestfallen as a nerd-intraining could get. That feeling quickly floated away when I glanced back at the screen. The smiley girl had just leapt out of a moving Jeep. She was hobbling through the woods. The music whispering through the speakers let me know some bad stuff was about to happen. Before too long, the smiley girl was leaning against a tree. Then something too gruesome for description happened on screen before fading to a white screen. I was stunned. My little kid eyes couldn’t believe what they’d just witnessed. I didn’t know what this Friday the 13th was but I knew right then and there I needed to see more of it. “What the hell are you watching and why are you up?”

The fall season looks different each year in Charleston — some days call for a light jacket while others bring summer-like heat and humidity. This fickle fall weather means a versatile beverage offering is in order, and local breweries have you covered with cozy ales to enjoy by the fire along with some refreshing sippers to help you hang onto summer. Of course, what is fall without (dare we say it) pumpkin beer, plus ambers, marzens, stouts and other classic autumn-themed beers. Local spots also have lighter options like tart, slow-fermented sour beers for when it’s unseasonably hot. Each of these breweries have ample outdoor seating, on-premise snacks and beer to-go, allowing for proper socially distanced enjoyment this fall. Daniel Island’s Indigo Reef Brewing Company just dropped its Sharktoberfest marzenstyle lager on Sept. 26. “This amber-brown lager highlights the toasty and bready characters of maris otter and Munich grains and finishes crisp and clean,” said Indigo Reef owner Chris Ranere. “This beer is perfect for fall in Charleston because it is light enough to drink in the sun during the day and malty enough to drink around a campfire.” Campfires might also make you think of stouts, and a handful of local breweries have the stout you’ll want to drink this season. The Black is Beautiful imperial stout is brewed with coffee, chili and cinnamon, giving it body, depth and just a hint of spice. The beer is part of the worldwide Black is Beautiful collaboration, started by Californiabased Weathered Souls Brewing, which aims “to bring positive awareness and vibes to the issues of social justice that we face together.” In Charleston, Commonhouse Aleworks, Fatty’s Beer Works, Freehouse Brewery and Low Tide Brewing Co. are all offering Black is Beautiful, with proceeds going to

Beer continued from page 21 combine together into a refreshing beer.” Those looking for a bite with their beer will find an expansive menu featuring pizzas, calzones, subs and more at the James Island offshoot of Famulari’s Pizzeria. Oak Road Brewery was named one of Forbes’ 50 fastest growing craft breweries in the nation, and its Pumpkin Spice Oktoberfest checks all the fall beer boxes. Head brewer Brian Cox, who is also an ER nurse at the medical university, adds pumpkin pie candy sugar to the Summerville brewery’s classic marzen, giving it just enough fall flavor to go with a surprising tart finish. “Oak Road Brewery’s Pumpkin Spice Oktoberfest was originally created around a saison I made with pumpkin, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spices,” Cox said. “The spice combination of the candi syrup changes the flavor profile of the base Oktoberfest. It creates a clove and spice aroma and flavor in the beer with a dry spice, tart finish.” Each October, Revelry Brewing hosts one of the biggest block parties in Charleston — last year, the brewery had over 2,000 people partying on Conroy Street. Of course that isn’t in the cards this fall, but the popular brewery still has something in store for its sixth anniversary. “We are having a week’s worth of releases and special brews going on tap for that week in lieu of our block party,” said Revelry general manager Mike Wagner. One of those beers is Night Fishin’, a dark sour that’s brewed with blueberry and vanilla at The Hold, Revelry’s sour beer spinoff on Romney Street. Crack open a bottle and you’ll instantly be hit with the smell of blueberry pie, and the taste won’t disappoint. Night Fishin’ might be a dark beer with deep flavor, but at 4.9 percent ABV, it’s lighter than the color might suggest. Like The Hold, Snafu Brewing Company is known for its sour production — in fact, the North Charleston brewery is pouring eight different sours right now. When the weather’s warm, grab a SnafuTang, one of Snafu’s flagship beers that’s brewed with oranges and has a “clean and crisp tartness reminiscent of a mimosa.” If you’re after a campfire sour, check out The Elvis Milkshake. Part sour, part stout, the 6.1 percent ABV beer is brewed with bananas, peanuts, honey, vanilla bean and milk sugar. So yes, it’s Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich in a glass. Not a fan of beer? Nothing screams fall like apple cider, so check out Park Circle’s Ship’s Wheel Hard Cider, which boasts more than 10 gluten-free draft hard ciders. You can’t go wrong with the 5.5 percent ABV original, but the Tahoma Hopped, which has notes of citrus and pine, is made for this time of year. The North Charleston cidery also invites guests to blend their ciders, with suggested combinations like the Notorious B.O.G., which combines the original Ship’s Wheel cider with one infused with beets.

a la carte HOBCAW BREWING CO. NOW OPEN IN MT. PLEASANT

Hobcaw Brewing Company is now open off Long Point Road in Mount Pleasant, welcoming visitors with six new beers on tap. The opening of the new brewery, tucked toward the back of an office park at 496 Long Point Road, has been a long time in the making. When we last checked in with co-owners Tiffany and Chris Mottram, they’d hoped their team would start brewing in October 2019. Now, after a few snags and a global pandemic, Hobcaw is the latest member of the suburban brewery district, with Ghost Monkey, Two Blokes and Westbrook breweries also nearby. “It was a very long road to get to this point, so to actually be open and see customers enjoying the space and beer still feels surreal. The support we received in our first week was overwhelming, especially considering the times we’re living in,” Chris said. Hobcaw brewer Chris Percello was most recently head brewer at Right Proper Brewing Co. in Washington, D.C., named this week as Best Brewery/Brewpub by readers of Washington City Paper (no relation). Hobcaw’s opening tap list includes New England and West Coast IPAs and a “hoppy session” beer along with a stout, Helles lager and a pale ale using the new Palmetto Malt Company’s South Carolina-grown grains. Cooler weather combined with social distancing guidelines have made Hobcaw’s patio the place to be for families and those hunting for a brew outside, Mottram said. “It was exactly what we envisioned when we first saw the property,” he said. Check @hobcawbrewing on Instagram for the latest hours. Leashed dogs are welcome outside. —Sam Spence

SWIG & SWINE’S ‘PIG RIG’ FOOD TRUCK HITS THE ROAD OCT. 2

Swig & Swine announced the launch of its new food truck, which will debut at Firefly Distillery this Friday. Aptly named the “Pig Rig,” the truck will be serving its smoked meats and Southern sides at Tradesman Brewing Company for the remaining three Fridays in October. “We’re thrilled to put Swig & Swine on wheels and make our food more accessible to the Lowcountry especially during these unprecedented times,” said Swig & Swine owner Anthony DiBernardo. “We’re looking forward to serving you around town and in masks.” Swig & Swine has three Charleston-area locations serving DiBernardo’s popular pulled pork, smoked chicken wings and other barbecue favorites. Moving forward, the Pig Rig will be on the road five days a week at locations like local breweries and work place parking lots. The truck will feature a rotating menu and is also available for private events. For more information and to book a private event with Swig & Swine’s food truck, visit swigandswinebbq.com. —Parker Milner

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself,” wrote 16th-century author Pietro Aretino. By January 2021, Aries, I would love for you to have earned the right to make a similar statement: “I am, indeed, a royal sovereign, because I know how to rule myself.” Here’s the most important point: The robust power and clout you have the potential to summon has nothing to do with power and clout over other people—only over yourself. Homework: Meditate on what it means to be the imperial boss and supreme monarch of your own fate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.” Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield made that brilliant observation. It’s always worth meditating on, but it’s an especially potent message for you during the first three weeks of October 2020. In my view, now is a highly favorable time for you to extract uplifting lessons by dealing forthrightly with your knottiest dilemmas. I suspect that these lessons could prove useful for the rest of your long life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My business is to love,” wrote poet Emily Dickinson. I invite you to adopt this motto for the next three weeks. It’s an excellent time to intensify your commitment to expressing compassion, empathy, and tenderness. To do so will not only bring healing to certain allies who need it; it will also make you smarter. I mean that literally. Your actual intelligence will expand and deepen as you look for and capitalize on opportunities to bestow blessings. (P.S. Dickinson also wrote, “My business is to sing.” I recommend you experiment with that mandate, as well.) CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I’m the diamond in the dirt, that ain’t been found,” sings Cancerian rapper Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent. “I’m the underground king and I ain’t been crowned,” he adds. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that a phenomenon like that is going on in your life right now. There’s something unknown about you that deserves and needs to be known. You’re not getting the full credit and acknowledgment you’ve earned through your soulful accomplishments. I hereby authorize you to take action! Address this oversight. Rise up and correct it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The author bell hooks (who doesn’t capitalize her name) has spent years as a professor in American universities. Adaptability has been a key strategy in her efforts to educate her students. She writes, “One of the things that we must do as teachers is twirl around and around, and find out what works with the situation that we’re in.” That’s excellent advice for you right now—in whatever field you’re in. Old reliable formulas are irrelevant, in my astrological opinion. Strategies that have guided you in the past may not apply to the current scenarios. Your best bet is to twirl around and around as you experiment to find out what works. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have,” says motivational speaker Robert Holden. Hallelujah and amen! Ain’t that the truth! Which is why it’s so crucial to periodically take a thorough inventory of your relationship with yourself. And guess what, Virgo: Now would be a perfect time to do so. Even more than that: During your inventory, if you discover ways in which you treat yourself unkindly or carelessly, you can generate tremendous healing energy by working to fix the glitches. The coming weeks could bring pivotal transformations in your bonds with others if you’re brave enough to make pivotal transformations in your bonds with yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In her high school yearbook, Libra-born Sigourney Weaver arranged to have this caption beneath her official photo: “Please, God, please, don’t let me be normal!” Since then, she has had a long and acclaimed career as an actor in movies. ScreenPrism.com calls her a pioneer of female action heroes. Among her many exotic roles: a fierce warrior who defeats monstrous aliens; an exobiologist working with indigenous people on the moon of a distant planet in the 22nd century; and a naturalist who lives with

mountain gorillas in Rwanda. If you have ever had comparable fantasies about transcending normalcy, Libra, now would be a good time to indulge those fantasies — and begin cooking up plans to make them come true. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio-born Prince Charles has been heir to the British throne for 68 years. That’s an eternity to be patiently on hold for his big chance to serve as king. His mother Queen Elizabeth just keeps going on and on, living her very long life, ensuring that Charles remains second-incommand. But I suspect that many Scorpios who have been awaiting their turn will finally graduate to the next step in the coming weeks and months. Will Charles be one of them? Will you? To increase your chances, here’s a tip: Meditate on how to be of even greater devotion to the ideals you love to serve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Inventor Buckminster Fuller was a visionary who loved to imagine ideas and objects no one had ever dreamed of before. One of his mottoes was, “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.” I recommend that you spend quality time in the coming weeks meditating on butterfly-like things you’d love to have as part of your future—things that may resemble caterpillars in the early going. Your homework is to envision three such innovations that could be in your world by October 1, 2021. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During World War II, Hollywood filmmakers decided it would be a good idea to create stories based on graphic current events: for example, American Marines waging pitched battles against Japanese soldiers on South Pacific islands. But audiences were cool to that approach. They preferred comedies and musicals with “no message, no mission, no misfortune.” In the coming weeks, I advise you to resist any temptation you might have to engage in a similar disregard of current events. In my opinion, your mental health requires you to be extra discerning and well-informed about politics — and so does the future of your personal destiny. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Pretending is imagined possibility,” observes actor Meryl Streep. “Pretending is a very valuable life skill and we do it all the time.” In other words, fantasizing about events that may never happen is just one way we use our mind’s eye. We also wield our imaginations to envision scenarios that we actually want to create in our real lives. In fact, that’s the first step in actualizing those scenarios: to play around with picturing them; to pretend they will one day be a literal part of our world. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to supercharge the generative aspect of your imagination. I encourage you to be especially vivid and intense as you visualize in detail the future you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “My own soul must be a bright invisible green,” wrote author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Novelist Tom Robbins suggested that we visualize the soul as “a cross between a wolf howl, a photon, and a dribble of dark molasses.” Nobel Prize-winning poet Wislawa Szymborska observed, “Joy and sorrow aren’t two different feelings” for the soul. Poet Emily Dickinson thought that the soul “should always stand ajar” — just in case an ecstatic experience or rousing epiphany might be lurking in the vicinity. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I invite you to enjoy your own lively meditations on the nature of your soul. You’re in a phase when such an exploration can yield interesting results. Homework: Make up a song that cheers you up and inspires your excitement about the future. It doesn’t have to be perfect. FreeWillAstrology.com

pulse LAYWILLS LEVELS UP ON NEW EP UPPER CLASS

Speaking Up

Kris Kaylin continues to influence behind the camera and on the mic

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 09.30.2020

BY HEATH ELLISON

30

The South Carolina hip-hop scene already knows Kris Kaylin. As the host of YouTube series NextUp Charleston, Kaylin shined a light on the hip-hop community in the Lowcountry, filming personable and downto-earth interviews of some of the city’s most talented rappers. Over the last three years, she interviewed Megan Thee Stallion before “Hot Girl Summer” broke her into the mainstream, interviewed Kanye West without pissing him off during his presidential bid and became a radio host at Z93 Jamz (WWWZ-FM). But, she also uses that platform to push for tangible changes in the city, calling for the boycott of local businesses who have been accused of racism and helping fundraisers like one to purchase masks and cleaning products for the residents of Joseph Floyd Manor. “I was born and raised in Charleston,” she said. “I’ve seen Charleston turn, I’ve seen gentrification and things like that happen. But, also in the same sense, the Black community is very strong. We have a presence, we have a power.” Kaylin’s ability to shift her platform between education and entertainment has always been hidden in her programming, stretching back to NextUp Charleston. The interview series still acts as an archive of Charleston hip-hop during the mid2010s, a time when it forced its way into the spotlight. Kaylin questions how integral she was to that evolution, but said that it’s humbling when people suggest she helped put Lowcountry rap on the map. “It might just be me being humble and not thinking about it like that,” she said. “I see everyone moving across the state. I see how everyone moves and it falls into place, but for people to think that, it’s very humbling.” Although NextUp was dormant, it will return soon, Kaylin said. In 2018, Kaylin’s voice got a big boost when she became a host on hip-hop and R&B station Z93 Jamz. “My time at South Carolina State really prepared me,” she said. “I had the opportunity to intern at the radio station there, so I learned how to do everything as far as editing music, chopping it down, cleaning music, all of that stuff.” Working on the video series also allowed her to practice her interview skills for the radio, she said, but the move to the airwaves has given her the opportunity to connect with big music names like Kanye West. “I just want to be prepared, ask the right

questions and hopefully don’t piss them off,” she laughed. “So far so good.” In the last two years, Kaylin has used her platform in the music realm to speak out on important local issues. She used her Boycott King Street campaign to confront systemic racism after the May 30 protests, raising funds for Joseph Floyd Manor residents and was one of the first to speak out about a local company that named its jewelry line after Black people killed by police. It wasn’t necessarily her plan to branch out in social justice work, but Kaylin continues to use her voice to benefit the Black community in the Lowcountry. “I wouldn’t call myself an activist, but I will definitely use my platform to speak about things,” she said. “I’m a Black

woman; I see racist things happening and I feel like, in this city particularly, it’s covered up a lot. You don’t hear Black voices the way Black voices should be heard.” In many ways, Kaylin has put Black voices on the forefront for most of her career. She keeps important messages alive, for the Black community and Charleston as a whole, and the significance of her platform isn’t lost on her. Kaylin added that she has a responsibility as a Black woman in 2020 with her audience. “I realize that whatever I post is being looked at, is being examined with a finetoothed comb, so I have to be careful of what I’m doing,” she said. “But, in the same sense, still being authentic with who I am and authentic with myself.”

Lowcountry rapper LayWills’ sophomore album, Upper Class, is all about the next step up. Taking the formula she laid down in her debut EP Preschool, LayWills upped the ante on the feel-good party vibe without losing the soul of that last album. “[Upper Class is] more so documenting coming up in a different hustle, coming into my own as an artist,” she said. “Escalade,” one of the rapper’s favorites from the album, portrays LayWills’ journey and success in Los Angeles, where she lives now. “Paper flowin’ like Niagara Falls/ Phone blowin’ blowin’ up from the missed calls/ rappers reaching for a feature feature,” she raps over a driving beat. Upper Class was recorded at TwinD1st Century Entertainment in West Ashley. The footprint of studio founder and engineer Twin can be heard throughout the EP. The third track on Upper Class, “Heist,” is a fun and dark track that gives LayWills the chance to show off her word play and ability to change up her flow. “While you out there running miles/ I’ll be in here running business/ I’m that HBIC with that full drip I see,” she raps. LayWills uses the last song on the EP, “Reflections,” to show her range as a songwriter. “I pulled up to the scene/ without a dollar, but a dream/ I only had a destination/ told my mama I would make it/ been having premonitions since ‘98/ about sitting amongst the greats with a plate/ in a seat that had my name on it.” The rapper has a pretty extensive background in acting, a passion that she said has influenced her music. “I feel like me as a rapper, I try to give a bunch of different sounds and that’s where my acting comes in because I try to create different characters within my music,” she said. In fact, on her debut album she tried to include a song for every listener. “My goal with that EP, since it was the first piece of music I really put out into the public, was to showcase six songs, six completely different styles,” she said. “You had the song that was a chick bop, you had the song that was a love song, you had the song that was a club song, you had a call to action song.” While LayWills continues this trend to an extent on Upper Class, she said that she strived for a “level-up vibe.” —Heath Ellison

quality work at every turn, and has influenced a great number of other serious musicians along the way, including Phish and Steve Earle. “When you are onstage you always have to give it your best because you just never know what sort of impact that any given set is going to have on someone. At some point in the ’70s, I met Jerry Garcia through my pal David Grisman, and Jerry told me that he had come to see me years earlier when I was playing with Bill Monroe and that he was very moved by that experience and a little too star-struck to come up and talk to me afterward because, it turns out, he secretly wanted to be a Bluegrass Boy.” —Kevin Wilson To read the full interview, head over to charlestoncitypaper.com.

Over the course of a lengthy career, Del McCoury has become widely known for his prowess as a bluegrass bandleader and an unapologetic embrace of the disparate musical forces that lie outside of that world. For these, and other reasons, his family act, the Del McCoury Band, remains a perennial favorite among peers, critics and fans alike. The 81-year-old McCoury told the City Paper that he discovered his vocation early in life. “A lot of people my age went crazy for Elvis Presley when he first came out and wanted to emulate him, but by then it was already a few years too late for me because I heard a record by Flatt & Scruggs in 1950 and I knew instantly that what they were doing was what I wanted to do, too.” McCoury started out on guitar as a preteen but soon switched to banjo following that pivotal encounter with his older brother’s collection of high-lonesome recordings. It was only after getting invited, somewhat serendipitously, to join Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys in 1963 that he reluctantly shifted his focus back to guitar. While ostensibly hanging around to learn the business and to grow his own skill set, McCoury managed to take part in some of Monroe’s most memorable performances and to cross paths with some of the era’s most iconic artists during his alltoo-brief tenure as a Bluegrass Boy. “I met Bob Dylan when we shared the bill at the Newport Folk Festival,” he said. “At the time I thought to myself that this guy really needs to work on his singing voice if he wants to get anywhere. But that didn’t seem to slow him down any.” Like his mentor Monroe, McCoury has fully embraced the responsibility of creating high-
