BACK TO RED MACE SEEKS TO MAKE CUNNINGHAM A ONE-TERM WONDER BY LINDSAY STREET

Republican state Rep. Nancy Mace has her eyes set on Washington, but first she has to topple Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham. Like Cunningham, Mace has made offshore drilling and flooding issues top of her campaign. She has also touted social justice issues during her three years as a state lawmaker and sought bipartisanship. Unlike Cunningham, her favorite drink is a vodka basil gimlet. She’s been a single mother since her 2019 divorce, and she has two cats, one of which will sometimes leave a ruined mouse on the front porch of her Daniel Island home. Mace is no political newcomer. She mounted a failed attempt to topple U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in the 2012 Republican primary and joined President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. She said his tax cuts have helped with wages and employment in the Charleston region before the pandemic and that him being at the top of the ballot in 2020 could help her win the 1st Congressional District, which only narrowly went to Cunningham in 2018 after being a Republican stronghold for decades. continued on page 6

KEEPING THE SEAT CUNNINGHAM ATTEMPTS TO CHARM A SECOND TERM Joe Cunningham, with postcards in mailboxes and ads on the radio, online and on TV, has reached near-celebrity status as a freshman Democratic congressman. But on Nov. 3, voters will choose whether to keep him flying up to Washington. One of his four brothers, Luke, called his brother “zen-like” amid all the attention — which included shouts of “I’m voting for Joe!” and “So you do like dogs!” on a recent Sunday at James Island County Park. Despite his role as an accessible public servant, Luke said Joe still makes time for family. “Everyone thinks he’s this super nice guy. What’s worse is that he’s even nicer in person,” Luke said with a laugh. And Rep. Cunningham’s gotten some things done, too. President Donald Trump signed three bills that he sponsored (Great American Outdoors Act, Tele-hearings at Veterans Affairs and Defense Access Road Enhancement, according to GovTrack). Cunningham said having the bills signed into law in his first term, by a Republican president, is “unheard of.” “That’s more than any other member of South Carolina’s delegaPhotos by Ruta Smith

Mace continued from page 5 The last and only woman to serve the 1st District was Clara G. McMillan, elected to fill the term left by her husband, Thomas McMillan, when he died in office. She served 1939 to 1941. But Mace has some experience in breaking gender barriers.

From trauma to the Statehouse Mace said her life was fundamentally shaped by two events: being raped as a teenager and a Supreme Court opinion by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. During her first full term as a state representative, Mace took to the Statehouse floor in May 2019 amid an abortion debate and talked publicly about her rape — a trauma, she told the City Paper, that led her to applying to The Citadel. She supported the bill that restricted abortion but included exceptions for rape and incest victims. The bill ultimately died with the session, without being passed in the state Senate. The sexual assault’s trauma led to Mace dropping out of school. She eventually got her high school diploma and found something worth living for: succeeding at South Carolina’s military college. On June 26, 1996, Ginsburg wrote the majority Supreme Court opinion in a 7-to-1 ruling that Virginia Military Institute could not discriminate against women. The year before, The Citadel accepted its first woman cadet, Shannon Faulkner. “That decision, her ruling literally changed the course of my life,” Mace said. “I didn’t go there to be the first woman to graduate from there. That’s a misconception by a lot of people. I went because I had all these really awful things happen to me, all this trauma, and I quit on life … I almost had this chip on my shoulder. I had something to prove, and that’s something that has been with me my entire life.”

this year, she said she joked that she was operating at 185 percent instead of her usual 200 percent. Her house is the central hub of all her activity. On the Saturday when the City Paper was invited over, Mace was running between events. An organic, sustainable meal kit sat on the kitchen table. Her children Elli, 11, and Miles, 13, had taken over spots of the house for their at-home learning. The campaign, with all women staffers, is run from a small office in the house. Mace’s work-life balance became a sore spot in the recent debates against Cunningham, who questioned her absences for state legislature votes in the last few months. Mace said she had a choice between being with her children or making those votes. But she told the City Paper her children are used to her traveling for work. “(Going to Congress) won’t be a big difference compared

tion besides (Majority Whip James) Clyburn and (U.S. Sen. Lindsey) Graham,” he said. But while the House passed his out-right ban on offshore drilling — Cunningham’s signature issue on the 2018 campaign trail — that one never met the president’s pen.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 10.14.2020

On shaky ground

Cunningham’s race against Republican state Rep. Nancy Mace could come down to just a couple thousand votes and, with Trump at the top of the ballot in a red state, the margin could just as easily favor his opponent, a likelihood he said he’s aware of in a district he wasn’t expected to win in the first place. The district was a Republican stronghold since 1981 with Cunningham being preceded by libertarian-leaning Mark Sanford and Tea Party darling Tim Scott. In 2018, Sanford was unseated in the June primary by former state Rep. Katie Arrington, who had the support of Trump (unlike Sanford). But Cunningham eked out a win by about 4,000 votes. But, 2020 has become the proving ground of whether District 1 is purple or if 2018 was a fluke. The Cook Political Report listed the race as “leans Democratic” as of Oct. 8, a similar rating to the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics — good news for Cunningham, but still showing a tight race.

with a beer, when he’s home, he said he’s with his 2-year-old son Boone and wife Amanda. He said his family is the reason why he will limit himself to three terms in Washington. “I need to be and I want to be spending time with Boone, especially as he’s getting older,” Cunningham said. And, Boone has shaped his father’s politics: “The reason I get up every morning, the reason I want to continue doing this is I think about my son, Boone. I think about the, you know, what kind of country, what kind of state, what kind of district that he’s gonna grow up in. And making sure we preserve our green space and making sure we don’t have oil rigs off our coastline. Make sure we have clean

to what they’ve already experienced for the last several years anyway,” Mace said. “Mom works and mom travels.”

On the issues There are few signs bearing Mace’s name along the streets near her Daniel Island home — half of the island went for Cunningham in 2018. Mace’s yard also doesn’t have a campaign sign either. Her front door has a different message: “Wash your hands (with soap).” Mace has supported getting back to work during the pandemic. She has talked about how she once lacked health care coverage, but she does not support expanding Medicaid and has called the Affordable Care Act a “failure.” She wants to expand high-deductible insurance plans and expand duties medical professionals increase access to care. Mace has gotten flak over her questioning of science and whether climate change is caused by human activity. In recent debates, she has said, “Science is never settled” and she wants any effort to be led by science. When asked if humans are causing climate change, she responded: “Does man contribute to it? I mean, a lot of the science says that too, but I want to stay informed and do as much as we can, but the other thing that’s important to me is that we just cannot simply rely on the United States,” Mace said, adding that she doesn’t want to see “job creators” hurt and that Republicans can lead on the issue. The Lowcountry has also witnessed protests and calls for racial justice in policing that have swept the nation. Mace said one of her best friends from high school was Black. They lost touch other over the years, but now he’s her HVAC repairman. She also said she has talked to the bartender at a Daniel Island bar about his experience as a Black man, who told her he is pulled over 10 times a year, and she listened to U.S. Sen. Tim Scott’s messages about being pulled over or pulled aside as a Black man even now that he’s a senator. She said this is why she supports recidivism programs, prison reform and other bipartisan measures. But, she also condemned the “violence” she sees from the left-wing in the streets. “It makes you irate and makes your blood boil, but these are things that are still happening,” Mace said. air clean drinking water. These, this isn’t too much to ask for. But, all these things are under threat.” Cunningham has voted to mitigate climate change in addition to his legislation banning offshore drilling and seismic testing. He said a second term would bring more of that same fight. In his second year in office, Cunningham faced the coronavirus pandemic and calls for justice in policing across racial lines. Cunningham said the pandemic and the extrajudicial killings of Black people have laid bare the disparities. Cunningham grew up in the small town of Kuttawah, Kentucky. The town has a current population that is more than 97 percent white, but Cunningham said he grew up having friends of color and considers them friends to this day. In South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, one in five constituents is Black. Cunningham signed onto the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020, which was in response to a chokehold death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis. The bill passed the House, but met a swift and quiet death in the Republican-controlled Senate. While bipartisanship has eluded his tenure in office between both chambers, he said it’s a goal he’s working toward as he develops deeper relationships with Republicans on the Hill. As of a few weeks ago, Sapiens was on his nightstand. The book suggests the reason human beings became the world’s dominant species is its ability for individuals to cooperate flexibly. He said cooperation was actually the thing that surprised him the most in his first term in Congress. “You seek out these people who may not agree with you on everything and build those relationships. You build that trust and then use that as a foundation to work on effective legislation that can make a difference,” Cunningham said. “People get along a lot more than you think by watching TV.”

STOP THE CVB CORRUPTION From: Skip Hoagland To: Charleston City Council and Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) 1. Would you hand me, or anyone $3 million plus of your own hard earned money to invest with no contract, no proven performance metrics/returns on your investment, and were told the way this money was invested and used by Helen Hill was secret sauce and none of your business? Here is your answer! 2. Call the City Council members and ask them why they keep handing the Charleston CVB millons of tax money per year, with no proper contract, no full accounting of Accommodations Tax (ATAX) funds, no proven performance metrics? Ask them why they refuse Skip Hoagland’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for this accounting info from Helen Hill on the CVB and why do they allow the CVB to refuse ATAX accounting as their secret sauce? How is this possible our supposedly fiscally responsible City Council and Mayor allow this without filing a lawsuit against this CVB or Helen Hill to comply? Contact link for all Council members here: https://www.charleston-sc.gov/180/MembersDistricts 3. Call the Charleston CVB leadership/ Helen Hill/ Board members, and ask them why they are refusing access to all CVB records to all CVB members, for same access CVB employee, Helen Hill, enjoys under the SC nonprofit corporation act laws. If any CVB members are refused, my lawyer will represent you for FREE to force this compliance by Helen Hill. Secrecy raises questions, and secret sauce must end. There are no secret sauce laws in SC. 4. The Beaufort County Council has agreed to comply. Why does Charleston City Council refuse to comply? Very troubling! Read story here https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.islandpacket.com/news/politics-government/article240424096.html We don’t want Charleston to end up in the ditch like Palm Beach County. Read about the results of a forensic audit there which led to criminal charges.

Charleston CVB is not responsible for tourism. This old, failed business model has been replaced by technology. Helen Hill and this CVB are running a private, for profit media entity, selling advertising and pocketing the profits. They are operating as a 501C6 non profit! She has hijacked total control of this CVB and all its funds from taxpayers and members. She claims this all is her “secret sauce.” The CVB must be investigated and audited by the FBI and IRS. If she denies any of this, ask her to explain. I offer $1 million to anyone who proves me wrong!

JOE RILEY’S INFLUENCE LOOMS IN 2020 CHARLESTON-AREA ELECTIONS

Almost five years removed from office, former Charleston Mayor Joe Riley appeared in new ads for two local election campaigns this week, one for a longtime Republican incumbent. Riley ran in nonpartisan city elections during his 40 years as mayor but previously served as Democrat in the state legislature. He remains a sought-after endorsement in the state’s Democratic presidential primary. Riley left office in 2016, opting against running for an 11th term. Never shy about using his own popularity to boost candidates during his time in office, just last week Riley appeared in ads endorsing Republican Solicitor Scarlett Wilson and on behalf of the Charleston Coalition for Kids, an education nonprofit that announced its school board endorsements on Oct. 6. Riley is also active in local Democratic campaigns as the chairman of U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham’s reelection effort. “Mayor Riley was in office for 40 years, and he continues to be highly respected in Charleston,” said Gibbs Knotts, a College of Charleston political science professor. “He is widely recognized by a large portion of Lowcountry voters. He might be new to some of the region’s recent in-migrants, but if they follow politics, they have likely heard stories about Mayor Riley.” But in 2020, Riley’s support for Wilson and the Coalition for Kids comes as his fellow Democrats, along with liberal activists, push for progressive criminal justice and education reforms. Neither Wilson, who was appointed in 2007, nor Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon, first elected in 1988, have ever faced Democratic competition in the general election. Wilson’s Democratic challenger, attorney Ben Pogue called himself a “Joe Riley fan” but said he never sought the former mayor’s blessing. “It’s not what we’re looking for,” he said. “We’re looking for the new vision.” Riley told the City Paper he has been pleased with Wilson’s record and did not consider her party affiliation. “Scarlett Wilson has been an excellent solicitor. She’s smart, hardworking and experienced in what is a difficult job,” Riley said. “And I think if somebody’s doing a very good job, the prudent thing is to rehire them. That’s how I approached it.” That approach, along with not having a D or R next to his name on the ballot, may be one reason Riley continues to be an appealing political voice. “Riley did a good job of appealing to Republicans and Democrats during his time in office. He benefited from being able to run in non-partisan mayoral elections and advocated for policies that benefited voters from both parties.” —Sam Spence

U.N. PROGRAM RUN BY EX-SC GOV. DAVID BEASLEY WINS NOBEL PRIZE

The World Food Programme, which is run by former South Carolina Gov. David Beasley, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. The Norwegian Nobel Committee described the award Friday, recognizing the WFP for “its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict.” “For the first time in my life, I’m speechless. This is unbelievable,” he said in a video posted to Twitter Friday morning. Praising the World Food Programme staff scattered across the planet “in the most difficult, complex places in the world,” he said. “Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.” The distinction drew congratulations from the likes of Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump, the Dalai Lama and others. Fellow formerS.C. Gov. Nikki Haley even weighed in, despite being highly critical of the United Nations since serving as the United States’ ambassador early in the Trump administration. —Sam Spence

Members of Charleston City Council’s public safety committee got their first looks Thursday at a 64-page report analyzing the activity and response to protests downtown on May 30. The report includes the city police’s analysis of marches through downtown during the day, which preceded destructive gatherings later that night on King Street. Crowds gathered initially on May 30 in Marion Square to protest the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, marching down the peninsula to White Point Garden and back toward the park. Later that night, after much of the earlier gathering dispersed, destructive protests converged on King Street, leaving many storefronts shattered in the heart of the city’s tourist district. Police responded with tear gas and an expanded presence, but mainly contained the individuals. In its executive summary, the After Action Review is described as helping to identify shortcomings and areas in which the police department can improve, advancing the department’s mission to protect the citizens of Charleston. “It is important to acknowledge that the vast majority of protesters — there were approximately 2,000 present — remained peaceful and were legitimately exercising their First Amendment rights,” the review reads. The full report includes a timeline of activities beginning as early as May 28, with intelligence sources monitoring the peninsula and plans for protests. The report is supplemented with maps and graphs showing the growth of crowds and the routes taken by protesters as they marched through downtown Charleston, as well as roads they blocked along the way. “I was a part of the protest on the 30th, and to me, it was the right thing for people to do, to put into context why everyone was here, that Black lives do matter,” Councilmember Carol Jackson said. “We do have a kind of learning curve in our community that we have admitted to, and we are continuing to learn on those bases.” Councilmembers Jason Sakran, Mike Seekings, Peter Shahid, Kevin Shealy and Keith Waring also attended the virtual meeting, along with Mayor John Tecklenburg and Police Chief Luther Reynolds. Waring said an important step to take now must involve direct communication with those affected, to answer questions, but more so to get the perspective of the community as to how the city could have better handled the situation. “A lot of people have, not questions, but ‘I think you could have done this; I think you could have done that,’” Waring said. “That would come from a layman’s standpoint, but if we get one good idea, one good, constructive idea, we are going to be better the next day moving forward.” Jackson added if the city plans to discuss the events with those affected, it is equally vital to get the perspective of peaceful protesters who were arrested or otherwise disrupted by police over the course of the weekend. On May 31, follow-up protests downtown continued in Marion Square, where police presence was dramatically increased. As protesters remained assembled in the park ahead of the curfew, officers from various agencies launched gas and non-lethal rounds at the protesters. Eventually, dozens of participants were arrested and spent the night in county jail. Most charges have since been dropped. In a June 2 letter to local law enforcement leaders, Frank Knaack, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of South Carolina, said police actions only heightened tensions during May 31 gatherings. “After demanding that all protestors disperse, the law enforcement officers then began moving toward the protestors, making arrests and firing projectiles at the protestors. During this time the protestors remained nonviolent. This response by law enforcement marked a clear, dangerous, and counterproductive escalation,” Knaack wrote. —Skyler Baldwin

artifacts COLLEAGUES, STUDENTS MOURN DEATH OF ADE OFUNNIYIN

Free Your Mind

Ade Ofunniyin, the founder and director of the Gullah Society and a beloved College of Charleston professor, died Oct. 7. He was 67 years old. “He will be deeply missed, and his work will continue,” the Gullah Society wrote. Ofunniyin, referred to as Dr. O by students at the College, was a staunch advocate for the Gullah and Black communities in the academic world and beyond. Born in Charleston, Ofunniyin was the grandson of famed Charleston blacksmith Phillip Simmons, whose historic ironwork is seen throughout the city. Ofunniyin spent his teens and 20s away from Charleston before moving back in 1985 to “meet my destiny,” as he said. CofC Professor Kristi Brian remembered Ofunniyin’s strides toward antiracism and his encouraging words to students. “He was resolute about his role on this campus — to make freedom fighters, revolutionaries, culture shifters! He affirmed unapologetic Blackness! He demanded that white students recognize their grave responsibility for ending oppression. He nudged anyone he met toward their hidden power. He asked us all to live as boldly as he did. Few of us ever will.” —Heath Ellison

Award-winning poet Aja Monet to headline virtual Free Verse festival BY SAMANTHA CONNORS Free Verse: Charleston Poetry Festival

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER XX.XX.2011

Oct. 16 7 p.m. Free Virtual Event freeversefestival.com

Aja Monet recognized the shifts that were about to come during quarantine early on, in April. Monet, this year’s Free Verse Poetry Festival headliner, launched her own Facebook Live virtual poetry reading event, Homemade, leveraging our new shared connections through screens and social media. “Anytime I have the opportunity to do this, especially in this time of isolation and virtual living, I get to meet new people, see new faces and hear new ideas,” Monet said. “Your mind travels, even if your body can’t physically travel, so I look forward to time spent sharing space creatively with people.” This isn’t Monet’s first encounter with virtual festivals and events this year. Working with a South African poetry organization called Hear My Voice, Monet had the opportunity to present her work to an audience alongside other artists in addition to her own efforts organizing virtual events to encourage the community to stick together. “I consider myself an organizer and a cultural worker, not necessarily an activist,” she said. “My goal is to move folks into a collection orientation of the world that dispels the myth of ego and individualism. I think art, when it’s really good, can do that.” Through Monet’s work, her own values of a collective consciousness and an overarching desire to create a society that is rooted in humanity are evident. Her use of vivid imagery has been widely praised, and she is the youngest poet to ever win the Nuyorican Poets Café Grand Slam title. She has also been granted the 2019 Marjory Stoneman Douglas Award because of her organization’s efforts in South Florida, and she was nominated in 2018 for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work. Although she may have a long list of accomplishments she is grateful for, Monet doesn’t let herself get hung up

on solely validating her work through titles and trophies. “It’s important never to hold too much in what other people say about your work because if you don’t get it, you can fall into a trap of feeling like what you’re doing in the world isn’t valuable or necessary,” Monet explained. “If my work is able to do any-

Mark Sloan, director and chief curator of the Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art at CofC, announced he is retiring at the end of the year. “It has been a grand adventure so far, and a privilege to serve as the director for Charleston’s contemporary art museum and to watch the concomitant explosion of contemporary arts programming throughout the region over these last two and-a-half decades,” he said in a statement Friday. Sloan has been a museum curator for 37 years, receiving his current position as director and head curator at the Halsey in 1994. According to his statement announcing his retirement, 245 shows have been hosted at the Halsey under Sloan’s leadership. In 2012, the state gave Sloan and the Halsey the Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Governor’s Award for the Arts for its art initiative throughout the state. Sloan told City Paper he had planned his retirement for “some time.” In addition, he hired younger staff in the last few years preparing for this day. “I hired whippersnappers to replace me,” he said. “Bright, ambitious young curators with a clear vision and terrific administrative chops.” “They have the tools and connections to make even greater things happen for the city of Charleston and the region. I could not be more thrilled for the future of the organization in these capable hands.” —Heath Ellison

RUSTY BULL’S BRIAN BOGSTAD (LEFT) WITH JARED WEATHERS AT PALMETTO MALT’S ST. GEORGE FARM

Farm to Froth Rusty Bull launches ale brewed with Palmetto Malt, SC’s first and only malting business the field to the glass.” With only a few maltsters in North Carolina and none in South Carolina, Bogstad and Mayer were thrilled when they heard there would finally be a local option. “When it comes to the brewing industry, we’re kind of in a desert for being able to supply the ingredients we need locally,” Bogstad said. “It’s really cool to be able to source grain

that has been grown here and malted here.” “He’s a new maltster, and we want to use local as often as we possibly can,” Mayer said. “It’s a great opportunity for us to work with someone that we can talk to face to face.” Last weekend, Bogstad and Mayer launched their first Palmetto Malt-brewed beer, a golden 4.3% ABV farmhouse ale. “Farmhouse beers started out in Europe as a beer that you would give your farm hands while they were working,” Bogstad said. “We just thought it would be a cool play on being able to go through the malting process.” Bogstad and Mayer have been by Weathers’ side from the start, and they’re helping him connect with Columbia and Greenville-based breweries along with local spots like Fat Pig Brewing Co., where owner Eulie Middleton will soon launch a beer made using Palmetto Malt. Bogstad said they’ll have more upcoming beers on tap brewed with Weathers’ product. “It’s neat to have a need that can be met locally,” Bogstad said. “It builds the awareness of the farming communities in our state and the capabilities that they have.” “I look at Brian and Ben as friends more than business partners, and they are a lot of the reason that I got into this,” Weathers said. “They distribute a lot of beer, and I know they’ll showcase our malt fantastic through their beer.”

The Brewlab of Charleston recently debuted at 2200 Heriot St. in downtown Charleston’s brewery district. The brewery, located in a warehouse formerly occupied by City Electric Supply, has undergone an extensive renovation since partners Joe Evans, Eric Loesch and Brad Amerson signed a long-term lease earlier this year. “We obviously have a lot of time and investment in the renovation,” Evans said. “We just have a hyper focus on making the place comfortable.” That focus shows at the dog-friendly brewery, with ample indoor and outdoor seating where patrons can choose from 10 beers currently on tap. The Brewlab boasts several big screen televisions and an on-site kitchen where Tobo Sushi is churning out rolls, nigiri and more. Right now, Brewlab offers options like sours, stouts and four IPAs, and Evans said there will be at least eight more beers in the near future — look for more lagers, which take longer to brew. With a varied offering and a convenient location, Brewlab is primed for beer enthusiasts and those looking for a comfortable spot to watch the game. The Brewlab of Charleston is open seven days a week. For more information, visit thebrewlab.net. —Parker Milner

BREWLAB NOW OPEN IN DOWNTOWN’S BREWERY DISTRICT

BY PARKER MILNER St. George native Jared Weathers’ cotton and peanut farm is now home to a craft malting business, the first and only in South Carolina. Palmetto Malt opened last month and made its second appearance in a local beer at Rusty Bull Brewing Co. on Oct. 2. “We started malting grain six weeks ago, but it’s been in the works for over a year,” Weathers said. “The first thing I did was research online, and then I took a flight to Austin and spent a week with a maltster out there learning about the craft of malt. I got back home and pitched it to my dad and business partner and then we flew out to Colorado State and did a course out there.” Upon returning from Colorado, Weathers and his dad Sam purchased equipment from a company out of Fargo, North Dakota, and got to work. The process of malting grain involves soaking barley before allowing it to germinate, converting the grains to fermentable sugars. The grains are then dried and toasted before being packaged and sent off to breweries or distilleries. Early on in the process, Weathers linked up with Rusty Bull Brewing Co. co-owners Brian Bogstad and Ben Mayer. “My best friend works right beside Brian, and I popped in and told him what we were doing,” Weathers said. “We’re a one-stop shop — farm to froth. We bring it right from

You may very well find fresh pasta and a fresh catch on the menu the next time you visit Stems & Skins, which has announced Julian Lippe as its new executive chef. It’s a move from one celebrated local establishment to another for Lippe, who spent the past two years working the line under chef Jason Stanhope at FIG, a 2020 James Beard Foundation Award finalist for Outstanding Restaurant. Stems & Skins was a 2019 semifinalist for Outstanding Wine Program, the medal FIG won a year earlier. Lippe’s culinary philosophy immediately fell in line with what the Park Circle wine bar was after, Stems & Skins co-owner Matt Tunstall said. “The base component was that we all enjoy eating the same way. Lots of little bites with high-quality stuff.” Lippe’s menu will be Mediterraneaninspired, and Tunstall said they’ll continue to offer favorites like tinned seafood, cheese and charcuterie. Lippe also plans to add more diversity to the vegetablecentric menu. “He’s hand-making pasta everyday, and we’re really embracing our neighbors Abundant Seafood so there will be crudos and things like that.” —Parker Milner

GIL SHULER’S BOOK CONTAINS 180 OF HIS FAVORITE BARN JAM POSTERS

A Weekly Tradition Gil Shuler charts 12 years of Barn Jam posters in his new book

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 10.14.2020

BY HEATH ELLISON

Awendaw Green’s weekly Barn Jams always felt a little different from other shows, likely because of the remote venue and the Lowcountry scenery you pass on the way. Each week, before COVID-19 shifted the live music world, fans of Americana, folk, country, bluegrass and rock would head out to Awendaw Green. And every week for the past 12 years, visual artist Gil Shuler created a unique poster to compliment and promote the shows. “It became my weekly workout if you will,” Shuler told the City Paper, adding that he has made roughly 650 barn jam posters. Shuler collected 180 of his favorite images and displayed them in chronological order by year in his new book “Barn Jam Posters.” The majority of these posters have never been put in print before, often existing online. Shuler, the owner of Gil Shuler Graphic Design, puts his talents to work in these art pieces, using creative combinations of music and the natural world. According to Shuler, each poster is made the night before the Barn Jam after he receives the list of performing artists from Awendaw Green owner Eddie White. “I would just start playing those [artists], listening to music and I might already have an idea in my head that had come up working on something else, or I had listened to music and something in the song gives me an idea,” Shuler said.

Provided

Making an individual art piece every Tuesday for 12 years may sound hectic and tedious, but Shuler said he always found it refreshing. “About the time I started doing this for Eddie was about the time the recession hit,” he said. “So, I wasn’t crazy busy for work and I wanted an outlet to really expand on my skills as a designer.” In the book, White said there is no direction driving the posters, just his friendship with Shuler. “I give him a blank canvas every Tuesday, and he makes unguided, unfiltered, unforced art — and that is a beautiful thing. What we’ve built over time is this eclectic, organic momentum.”

“Barn Jam Posters” shows the progression of Shuler’s work and his portrayal of the Barn Jams. “I wanted folks to see where I started, with the idea of jam jars,” he said. “I exhausted it — I was like, ‘I have nothing else on that.’ That’s when I started playing around with the musical instruments.” Although he did away with the “jam jar” theme eventually, Shuler’s posters have always made a motif out of nature and music: A rattlesnake is drawn with a guitar body on its tail, a horse eats a carrot held in a microphone stand, a robin sits on a branch with headphones around its head, a leaf sprouts from the stem of a quarter note. The work is creative on its own, but the volume of work is impressive as well. Shuler enthusiastically admitted that he was surprised he pulled it off. “I’m a creature of habit,” he laughed. “I’m a somewhat traditional person in that I have a lot of traditions … It’s embedded in my family and my kids. We like doing traditions and doing stuff repeatedly, but this is almost obsessive.” Shuler’s posters have garnered attention from the visual art community, as well. In the book’s forward, Halsey director Mark Sloan described Shuler’s work as “visual jujitsu.” “He tends to give himself certain restrictions and then works to reverse, subvert, tweak and unsettle those boundaries — and therein lies his genius,” Sloan wrote.

Voting for this year’s Charleston City Paper Music Awards is now open through Oct. 23. Head over to charlestoncitypaper.com now to cast your vote. The City Paper Music Awards are the Charleston music community’s chance to honor the year’s best local musicians and creative minds across a variety of categories including Artist of the Year, Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, Singer-Songwriter of the Year and more. Since this is 2020, we’re doing things a little differently this time around. This year, we’re doing a single round of voting from among some of the best of the best. Instead of a round of nominations, we convened local musicians, including past CPMA winners, to assemble notable performers in each category. The result is a collection of exciting and innovative musicians who have continued pushing ahead in 2020. We also added a special category, Livestream/Social Distanced Concert of the Year, that we hope to never see again in the future (at least in this form). You’ll also notice some categories have been cut. They’re not gone forever — these are all changes we’ll revisit in 2021. The City Paper Music Awards honor Charleston’s top musicians across a number of categories each year. Voting is open at charlestoncitypaper.com through Oct. 23. Plans to recognize winners in November will be announced very soon. —Heath Ellison

EZ SHAKES’ CRAFT CINEMATIC SOUND ON THE SPIRIT

Columbia folk-rock group E.Z. Shakes released their new album, The Spirit, on Oct. 9. The latest release honors the group’s Carolina roots while featuring a wide range of sounds. The group has focused on creating a fuller, cinematic sound on this album. The titular track finds a darker tone for the group as Seibert sings about moments and memories from his spiritual upbringing. “The Pretender” is one of the album’s upbeat tunes, leaning more into the band’s rock side. It comes in with heavy instrumentals featuring a driving drum beat, a dissonant electric guitar and raspy vocals. The album finishes with “Killing Time.” It discusses the limited time given to each person in life and how fulfillment looks different for everyone. This again is a slowed-down song that allows the music to speak for itself. “My upbringing played a monumental role in my life,” Seibert said reflecting on the themes of the album. “If I’m going, to be honest as an artist, it’s hard to separate those personal experiences from my art. But I’m not out to proselytize anyone. These are personal stories. Hopefully, people can find some sort of hope in them.” —Holly Malnati
