WORSENING FLOODING IS ONE EXAMPLE OF THE OBSERVABLE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE Jonathan Boncek file photo

Rising Up

Lowcountry leaders tiptoe toward local climate plans, but action hard to come by BY SKYLER BALDWIN

City of Charleston leaders are currently working to update their climate action plan, starting with what Director of Sustainability and Deputy Resilience Officer Katie McKain called a robust community engagement process throughout 2020. Community volunteers split into groups with a wide range of representation from leaders, advocates and business owners have been meeting all winter, drafting recommendations that were just released last week for public input ahead of Wednesday’s meeting. “All the things the groups are working with have a host of great benefits for the community,” McKain said. “Protecting saltwater ecosystems, for example, serves a major floodmitigation technique, which comes with great economic benefits itself.” Alongside preservaMcKAIN tion of local ecosystems, groups focused on efficient home energy, increased composting efforts and ways to embrace electric vehicle technology. City officials say more than 25% of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions come from vehicles, and more than 64% come from buildings relying on inefficient fuel sources for electrical power. Greenhouse gases have tipped the healthy balance of carbon dioxide levels worldwide, NASA reports have shown. Carbon dioxide

levels in Earth’s atmosphere have been rising consistently for decades, trapping heat near the surface of the planet, corresponding with increased temperatures and rising sea levels. “We see the effects of climate change firsthand,” McKain said. “Just look at all the flooding just [last week] after an hour of rain.” Embracing electric vehicles is one area that the city has already taken concrete steps toward, having applied for a grant last week that would replace the first of the city’s garbage trucks with an all-electric model. The trucks are hugely inefficient, McKain said, as they run all day and consume a lot of fuel. But, few initiatives have taken shape yet, and exact numbers and tangible goals are difficult to see. “There are a lot of pieces we’ve been working on, but ultimately, before you can really focus on the pieces, they need to be a part of a plan that the community supports and the city supports,” McKain said. “At the end of the day, we really need the community to help implement the plan; we can’t do this alone.” Charleston County Council passed its own climate action resolution March 9, putting its support of climate-focused education and advocacy in writing. Though there is no required action spelled out in the resolution, it leaves space for future countylevel plans to be put in place, local leaders say, and claims to support climate-centric measures at local levels. “Without proper planning, the adverse impacts of climate change could exhaust and

destabilize our infrastructure and emergency and social services; negatively impact our access to food, water and energy; and disrupt commerce, local business, property and our quality of life,” the resolution reads. But County Councilman Kylon Middleton, who proposed the measure, said there is more concrete language in the resolution than people realize. “It talks about the implementation of an equity-centeredcommunity-integrated climate action plan,” MIDDLETON he said. “That becomes the next step — getting community-oriented groups from all sectors to be able to develop and implement their own climate action plan.” Municipalities throughout the Lowcountry stand to gain from county support for addressing climate change, with coastal communities threatened by rising sea levels, increased rates of natural disasters and climbing temperatures. “Higher sea levels equate to more instances of sunny day flooding that damages infrastructure and homes, prevents emergency access and causes disruptions to daily life,” said Folly Beach City Administrator Aaron Pope. “Higher sea levels also mean storm surges will be higher, more destructive and more damaging.” Traditionally, the focus on long-term planning and infrastructure improvement for Folly Beach has been geared toward the beachfront, Pope said. But, continued changes have drawn attention to the marsh-

side of the island as well — and the beach town is just one of the local governments working to get a handle on the impacts of climate change. “Folly has been working hard at a local level to plan for the future and begin taking steps to put our plans into action,” Pope said. “County level leadership would have multiple benefits, including opening the door to a more regional, coordinated approach, funding and on the ground support for projects, and broadening public awareness.” But as the threat has grown, and leaders consider further action, Pope worries efforts may have fallen behind. “I think there are many people in the county that are not fully aware of the scope of the changes that are happening and how they translate into practical effects on everyday life,” he said. And, the changes have only just begun to take shape. “Houses that didn’t flood will flood, roads will be blocked, essentially facilities may need to be moved,” Pope said. “There are a lot of ways that life is going to change, and I think the earlier and more often that message gets out, the better prepared people will be.”

‘RHETORIC OF NORMAL’ COULD DAMPEN PANDEMIC INNOVATION, TEACHER SAYS

Charleston-area teacher and SC for Ed representative Trever Etminan fears many people are already forgetting what they’ve learned during the pandemic as people get vaccinated and a sense of normalcy waits on the horizon. “It seems like there’s this national rhetoric about getting back to normal, but I want to caution people because this whole pandemic has given us an infinite number of opportunities to change and make things better,” he told the City Paper. “I think that’s the biggest obstacle,” Etminan continued. “The rhetoric of normal is overshadowing anything good that we have done and that has happened. And, the rhetoric of the vaccine is sort of echoing so loudly that we can’t hear the voices from within the classroom saying maybe we need to reevaluate.” Education in particular has been an area of much change, but also much scrutiny in the last year. But, Etminan said that even with the pandemic slowly being put behind us, there is still a lot left to do. “While we are going back to face-toface instruction, vaccinating teachers is just step one in a long process,” he said. “We are still living in a classroom with plexiglass barriers that fall off of desks and break daily. Kids are still having to wear masks. All of that will continue to be necessary until all people who choose to be vaccinated have that opportunity.” With the rollout of South Carolina’s vaccine distribution Phase 1B underway and teachers lining up for their shot in the arm, some districts are doing their part to help. Charleston County School District officials had their school nurses administer vaccines at up to six different school sites earlier this month. “It’s nice to see the districts on top of coordinating Phase 1B,” Etminan said. “The rhetoric of opening schools and the degree to which they are coordinating vaccinations in some districts is starting to align more. It’s promising to see that.” While the state and nation as a whole continue through what Etminan calls an awkward transitional phase, he said it’s important to keep a mindset geared toward making the system more equitable for students and families than it was before. —Skyler Baldwin

SC HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST GENDER WAGE GAPS IN THE NATION, STUDY FINDS South Carolina has among the most severe gender pay gaps in America, ranking 40th among the 50 states in a new study. According to data from the Business.org study, the average annual salary for S.C. women is $37,584 while men average $48,541 — a nearly $11,000 difference resulting in a pay gap of 23%. S.C. sits on the list between Montana and Mississippi, but our northern neighbor North Carolina ranked 7th in the nation with a gap of 14%. Vermont reportedly has the smallest gap at 9% followed by Hawaii and Maryland with 11%. The study also found there is not a single state in which women have a higher average salary than men. Even with a growing number of equal pay initiatives and more women-owned businesses opening across the country, the national gap still averages 18%. What’s causing the inequality? A number of factors can impact states’ pay gaps from discriminatory hiring processes with little legal ramifications to differing regional views on traditional gender roles. Though the pay gap in S.C. may be one of the largest in the country, the number of female-owned businesses is growing in the Palmetto State. Another study from 2018 found that S.C. ranked 4th for states with the fastest growing

rate of women-owned businesses. Between 2007-2018, women-owned businesses across the country increased by 58%. While more opportunities have been given to women in the past couple decades, not enough has been done to level the playing field. The pandemic has made career opportunities even tougher for women, with many economists speculating that the last year exacerbated the gender pay gap. According to the National Women’s Law Center, all of the jobs lost in December 2020 nationwide belonged to women. The economy netted 140,000 jobs that month — women lost 156,000 jobs, while men gained 16,000. The Business.org study also reported that the pay gap has plateaued since 2010, as the national average has hovered between 18-19% for more than a decade. To shrink the gap, Business.org suggests a cultural change is necessary, a shift in the way we think of men and women in the workplace. Promoting and hiring qualified women to higherlevel positions (managers, directors, executives, etc.), supporting female business owners in our communities and demanding equal pay policies at the corporate and government level are all important steps to achieving equality. —Samantha Connors

“If they’re doing it to me as an elected official in a professional community, I can only imagine what they’re doing to my community when I’m not there.” —Charleston County Sheriff Kristen Graziano said part of the reason she wanted to quickly withdrawl from an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement was because an agency official threatened to ramp up enforcement without the county’s cooperation.

South Carolina House members will consider something new next week in the state’s $10 billion budget — a single line item that sets aside $500 million to keep agencies from making mid-year cuts that could be brought on by unexpected pandemic expenses. “That is General Fund money (or money from state taxes) that was set aside as a first line of defense should revenues not continue to remain positive and stable,” said S.C. House Ways and Means Chairman Murrell Smith, R-Sumter. The state currently has two reserve, or “rainy day,” funds. But, rules on those funds restrict spending to balancing the state budget at the end of the fiscal year. In other words, if an agency had a shortfall during the year from something, like say a pandemic, then it would have to make program cuts, lay off workers — or both. Last fall, Senate and House staffers started discussing ways to give agencies more flexibility in case revenue streams are hit after July 2021 because of economic reactions to the pandemic. They came up with the notion of setting aside $500 million in surplus dollars if things go awry. But if nothing is spent by June 30, 2022, lawmakers can use the money for something else — or keep the reserve intact for other midyear rainy day needs as might come with a hurricane or flood. Observers say this is smart budgeting because it anticipates challenges with a solution that will improve the stability of the budget so state agencies don’t have ups and downs with staffing and programs. Major state general fund spending highlights:

• Reserves - $500 million for the Pandemic

Stabilization Reserve Fund; and $26 million in added funding to the capital and general reserve funds. With this budget, the state’s reserves are $1.1 billion, according to the committee. • Education - $50 million to increase the base student cost to $2,500 per student and a like amount for one-time pay increases to eligible teachers. The Department of Education’s $3.3 billion base share of state dollars includes an additional $48 million in instructional materials, $24.5 million for public charter school growth; and $10 million to expand full-day 4-year-old public kindergarten. • Higher education - Colleges and universities will get $171 million in new money, the lion’s share of which will go to deferred maintenance. The state’s technical college system will get $10 million for maintenance and capital needs as well as $33 million for workforce scholarships. Lawmakers also call for steering $318 million to fund LIFE, HOPE and Palmetto Fellows college scholarships, $51 million from the lottery for tuition help and $80 million to pay for tuition grants. • Economic development - The budget calls for an additional $3.7 million in the state’s deal-closing fund to attract more business and $20 million to promote tourism. • Health care - The House budget proposes $20 million more for child welfare programs and $27 million to match federal money for two veteran nursing homes. • Criminal justice - $90 million from federal funding for prison safety upgrades; and $17.9 million for staffing increases and retention needs. Also in the budget is $17.6 million for the state’s judiciary for an online court project and case management improvements, $2 million for more conservation grants, $5.9 million for health and dental insurance cost increases for state employees, $36 million to boost the employee pension system and $17.6 million for a local government fund to offset tax losses. —Andy Brack

A traffic stop ended with police finding a plastic bag of brightly colored pills in a downtown man’s backpack. He told the officer they weren’t his and that he was only the middleman in an “illegal drug transaction.” Is that actually better? Someone was apparently tired of all the electronic billboards around town telling them to wear a mask, as four batteries were stolen from the message board trailer on Lockwood Drive. Be safe out there, folks; people have short attention spans and will likely forget to mask up if they aren’t reminded every few blocks. Police were called to a West Ashley steakhouse to remove a man believed to be intoxicated. He reportedly screamed offensive and degrading comments at officers once they arrived. Was he already banned from all the actual bars in town? A James Island woman reported a book of CDs was stolen from her car.

Talk about a flashback. No less than five different people had their marijuana stashes confiscated after various minor traffic offenses. As a public service, here are a few relevant reminders: stop at red lights, use your blinkers, drive the speed limit and don’t drive through your neighbor’s front yard in full view of a patrol officer. It’s possible that our favorite criminal contractor may have gotten caught, or at least read the Blotter entry that mentioned the police closing in on them, as this is the second week in a row with no reports of building materials going missing from local construction sites. Maybe they just decided to move their plans somewhere with more housing space. A West Ashley couple caught with a jar full of assorted, multicolored pills and cash in their car told officers there was anywhere between 50 and 100 pills, but police counted 102. Caught redhanded, dirtbags.

Officers told a downtown juvenile holding what was presumed to be a bottle of liquor to empty its contents, and the boy reportedly complied. The officer didn’t say he couldn’t empty the bottle into his mouth — communication is key, guys.

Police noted the “abnormal behavior” of two men sitting on a downtown sidewalk and sharing a bottle during the pandemic as their reason for investigating the situation. Remember guys, open containers are A-OK when not in danger of viral transmission.

THE HALSEY INSTITUTE SHOWS OFF STUDENT WORK EACH YEAR WITH ITS JURIED EXHIBITION, ‘YOUNG CONTEMPORARIES’

Off Screen Halsey’s Young Contemporaries showcases student artists’ inspired work from a tumultuous year BY SAM SPENCE Young Contemporaries

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.24.2021

Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art 161 Calhoun St. March 26-April 23 Free halsey.cofc.edu

College of Charleston’s studio art students have had some time on their hands. But after a year of pandemic, protest and politics, that does not mean they’re lacking inspiration. After months spent creating or considering their art in isolation, the school’s Halsey Institute is set to exhibit some of those creations in its annual Young Contemporaries exhibition. Halsey’s yearly juried student art show spent 2020 as a virtual exhibit but makes its return with close to 100 pieces of artwork this week. The pandemic year presented opportunities for the school’s artists-in-training to continue their creative growth outside classrooms and studios. “With COVID and everything, I spend a lot more time making art, since time is all we really have,” said studio art sophomore Stella Stuchlak, whose “Childhood in Charcoal” will hang at the Halsey. “I wouldn’t say I’ve changed my approach to artmaking. I just spend far more time with it.” The exhibit’s in-person reprisal also marks a return of sorts for its juror, artist Bob Snead. A local native and product of CofC’s School of the Arts himself, Snead co-founded Redux Contemporary Art Center before decamping Charleston in 2005. Recently,

Snead and his family relocated back to the Palmetto State, settling into his late mother’s old Victorian home in Barnwell. Snead said the selections reflect what students have seen and experienced over a tumultuous year. “The pandemic is obviously hard to avoid, so isolation, masks and upheaval are prominent within the show,” Snead said. “But, it also felt like there was a sincere desire for escape with students using their creative work to get there.” Charleston-native senior Martin Allison said the past year hastened her evolution from painting familiar natural landscapes into large-format geometric and abstract work like “Gifted Child Burnout,” the oil-on-canvas work submitted to Young Contemporaries. “I just had more freedom at home to kind of explore what I wanted to do and not have the pressure of all my peers watching me or my professor,” she said. “I’m going a lot more into representative and color-play with my art than I ever have before.” Moments of upheaval over the past year influenced senior Tim Hunter, a chemistry and studio art double major, whose portraits depict people who traditional artists did not paint in the past. “The past year, not even including COVID, just the riots and polarization,” he said, “has really emphasized my desire to paint minority faces in the classical style.

“I think certain voices and faces need to be represented right now,” he said. Hunter’s submission, “Es la hora del jugo de manzana,” depicts a man with a dark beard and dreadlocks, with text laid over the portrait. Desmond Morrison, a fourth-year studio art major, said time away from classrooms and critiques last year made him a more confident artist. “I used that time period to cultivate my artistic skills and try to work towards a signature style,” he said. “Compared to last year, [when] I would only work in either drawing and painting and I was very limited in my art, now I’m more confident with experimenting more with digital art and other artforms.” Morrison’s “Color Me Three” acrylic painting is also the result of a concerted effort to depict people of color on canvas, to describe “the environment I inhabit, the people I interact with, and how I view myself in that narrative,” he said. Halsey visitors can find student work selected for the Salon de Refuses displayed on the main floor in addition to Snead’s picks for the annual juried show. “The Young Contemporaries exhibition has always been a space to see what the next wave of artists are producing and what is shaping their world,” Snead said. “I think folks will be excited to see a show that represents the moments we have all been living through by young artists who refuse to exist solely on a screen.”

North Charleston residents will get a newand-improved library by the end of 2022, according to plans unveiled by Charleston County Public Library officials Wednesday. The current Cooper River branch is the last in line for improvements set in motion with a 2014 county-wide referendum. New branches have already been constructed in Mount Pleasant, James Island, Hollywood and West Ashley, where two new libraries were built. Plans and renderings of the new library branch were discussed during an online public meeting March 17. The new branch will be dramatically bigger than the current Cooper River branch, totaling 20,000 square feet and will incorporate the current 5,000-square-foot building that has stood at the corner of Dorchester Road and Rivers Avenue since 1973. The updated branch will be named for current North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey, who has held office since 1994. —Sam Spence

Charleston Flair

The Indigo Road opened Kingstide, March 24 at 32 River Landing Drive on Daniel Island, where executive chef Kevin Getzewich will be serving a seafood-forward menu highlighting local purveyors like Tarvin Seafood, Clammer Dave and Heron Farms, among others. Billed as “Daniel Island’s first and only waterfront restaurant,” Kingstide will “welcome guests via land or boat” to reserve a seat downstairs in its dining room or grab a first come, first served spot upstairs, where patrons will find a large indoor-outdoor bar and patio. Getzewich joins Kingstide after serving as a sous chef at The Macintosh and executive chef at Indaco, two of the group’s other local restaurants. Getzewich, who helped open One Broad in 2017, will serve food with “approachable, simple, clean flavors but executed with technique,” he told the City Paper. Look for dishes like stone crab claws, smoked fish dip, lobster rolls, crab tonnarelli and more — Getzewich will also add soft shell crabs to the menu once they’re in season, he said. The downstairs will be reservation-only, while the upstairs bar will have a “reformed oyster shack-y vibe,” Getzewich said, with a full raw bar and sandwiches.

Coterie serving Indian fare in downtown space previously occupied by Pan E Vino

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.24.2021

BY PARKER MILNER

A downtown building that used to churn out handmade pastas and Italian favorites is now an eatery serving inventive cocktails and cuisine that imparts Indian flavors into classic Charleston dishes like shrimp and grits and chicken bog. Now open on Warren Street, Coterie is the latest restaurant to land in downtown Charleston. Coterie is a collaborative effort between cocktail specialist Jeremy Buck and experienced chef Viraj Borkar, who after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, helped open restaurants in New York City, Chicago and Washington, D.C. After serving as a culinary director at Rasika, a well-known D.C. Indian restaurant, Borkar co-founded Inday, a New York-based fast casual Indian concept with five locations. When Buck approached him about opening a restaurant in Charleston, Borkar was all in. “Charleston has a big food scene — it’s evolving, so I think this will be a good time to introduce something that’s Indianinspired,” Borkar said, describing Coterie’s menu as having “Charleston flair.” “I thought about doing something that’s midway, that connects the dots.” The restaurant’s okra flower logo points to this approach, highlighting an ingredient that’s widely used in Southern and Indian food — the majority of Coterie’s dishes will bridge the gap between these two types of cuisines, Borkar said. “We have shrimp and grits, but shrimps that are tossed in mustard seeds sitting on top of grits that are tempered with curry leaves,” he said. “It’s an all-day menu, so it’s all small plates, and the idea is to share.” “I also wanted to introduce different breads — everyone is familiar with naan,” added Borkar, who will serve whole wheat chapati and paratha, a multi-layered flatbread. “They’re all griddled breads rather than cooked in a tandoor. There are hundreds of breads in India, and everyone knows just the naan.” Look for more Indian-Southern fusion on Coterie’s menu, which will change with the seasons. “Bombay shrimp and grits,” ribs

COTERIE CHEF/PARTNER VIRAJ BORKAR’S MENU IMPARTS INDIAN FLAVORS INTO SOUTHERN DISHES

makhni, chicken tikka and okra with yogurt sauce are some of the dishes that will be executed daily by Coterie chef de cuisine Brian Gibson, a 20-year industry veteran who previously spent time in the kitchen at Barsa, Poogan’s Porch and Sermet’s, among others. Borkar will visit Charleston monthly to meet with local farmers and tweak the menu, he said. Located in the space previously occupied by Italian restaurant Pan E Vino, which closed during the pandemic, Coterie is open for outdoor dining on its spacious, partially covered courtyard while Buck completes renovations inside, where there will be modern decor such as an installation with three-dimensional okra flowers and a mural painted by Amrisa Niranjan, who has worked on pieces in Wynwood, Miami’s arts district. Buck’s fancy cocktails will add to Coterie’s contemporary vibe, with options like a masala mule made with spice-infused Sweatman’s All Natural ginger beer and The Audible, a combination of pulled-porkwashed dark rum and charred pina syrup. “Because okra is in our logo, we’re using it as the inspiration piece that brings Charleston and India together,” said Buck, who has developed beverage programs in Boston, New York, Mumbai and Charleston for all-vegan spot Neon Tiger. “We’re going to do an okra negroni, and besides that, we’ll do a lot of cool stuff that isn’t really done in Charleston very much.”

SARAH’S DUMPS ADDS DIY DUMPLING KITS TO ONLINE STORE

Each drink will showcase Buck’s talent behind the bar, and cocktails calling for a large cube of ice will be stamped with Coterie’s logo. Cocktail enthusiasts will be able to order from the restaurant’s regular lineup or its “Coterie Features” menu offering specialty recipes submitted by bartenders from other cities. There’s a lot going on at Coterie, and that’s by design, Buck said. He hopes it can be a place unlike anywhere else in Charleston. “Coterie is (a group of) like-minded people with shared dreams and aspirations, so the idea is bringing all these people together,” Buck said. “Just continuing to expand and have a lot of influences in one place.” Coterie is open for outdoor dining on its partially covered patio 5-11 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Sarah’s Dumps owners Sarah and Nathan Williams-Scalise haven’t brought back popups just yet due to the pandemic, but they’re giving Charleston-area dumpling lovers the chance to make their very own Sarah’s Dumps at home with new do-it-yourself kits. Now available online, each kit — which makes 45 traditional dumplings — comes with one package of wrappers (vegan), premeasured and chopped ingredients, two pairs of stainless steel Korean chopsticks and access to a page with instructions. Sarah taught virtual dumpling-making classes in April 2020 at the onset of the pandemic, later transitioning to an online business model where she and Nathan delivered frozen 30-packs of dumplings all over Charleston. The couple hopes to soon bring back inperson classes and pop-ups at local breweries, Sarah said. Until then, the kits give locals a fun and delicious at-home activity. “The first round is our traditional pork and beef dumps, but if it goes smoothly, maybe we can offer collaborative kits,” she said. “Kits are contactless stoop dropped to people’s homes on the same schedule as our frozen dumps.” Those who purchase a kit will receive an email with a link and password to a page with cooking instructions, side recommendations and more.

WHITEHALL FANS WILL NOTICE THE BAND’S SOPHOMORE ALBUM HAS A DIFFERENT VIBE THAN ITS FIRST

POUR HOUSE ANNOUNCES OUTDOOR CONCERT SERIES

Version 2.0 Whitehall’s 2nd album is an unexpected blast of heavy guitar-rock power

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 03.24.2021

BY VINCENT HARRIS

Whitehall’s new album, Swordfish Catcher, is half garage-rock noise, half polished guitar pop. It’s 11 tracks of massive riffs and muscular rhythms, with singer/guitarist Paddy McKiernan’s coolly melancholy vocals riding above the din. Tracks like “Tuesday” and “Automated” are raw-but-melodic gems, gleaming with shimmering hooks and big, full-throated choruses. In other words, it is literally nothing like the first Whitehall album, 2018’s Ocean Fiction. That album was stylish, sleek, light and danceable. McKiernan and Avery Greeson’s guitars were typically used as texture or to accent the melodies; Pat Magwood’s warm tenor sax was the featured instrument, and even in its rawest moments, there was nothing unkempt about the sound. Or, as Whitehall bassist Brennan Clark put it, “The first record was a little more dance-y. This one feels a little more garage and heavier. It wasn’t super intentional; it just came out more like that.” Part of the reason for the change is that Magwood left the band before Swordfish Catcher was recorded. His departure meant the rest of the group had to completely rethink their sound.

Charleston Poet Laureate Marcus Amaker will sit down for a virtual conversation with Cheryl Boyce Taylor, the mother of late hiphop frontman Malik “Pfife Dawg” Taylor, March 25. Hosted by Bowery Poetry Club and the nonprofit indie publisher Haymarket Books, the event will showcase and discuss Taylor’s new book, Mama Phife. The conversation will be moderated by New York-based poet Jive Poetic. Taylor’s memoir, Mama Phife, was written about her son, who died in 2016 at 45 years old from diabetes. Phife Dawg was part of A Tribe Called Quest, an influential group in the early days of hiphop and rap. The book includes her son’s notes, drawings and hip-hop lyrics and discusses her journey with grief in the public eye. For details, follow @charlestonpoet on Instagram. —Katherine Jordan

“It got us to flex different creative muscles,” Clark said. “And obviously, the writing process changed our roles individually. Avery plays lead guitar now, and that takes up a lot of the space that Pat filled. It was definitely new and fun, and I think that’s why the album is so different.” Ocean Fiction generated a lot of buzz because of Whitehall’s unique sound anchored, in part, by Magwood’s sax. But knowing that evolution, the band is eager to see how Swordfish Catcher will be received. “I don’t know that we’ve prepared a ‘reaction,’” McKiernan said with a laugh, “But I think we’re just really stoked about this new chapter. And we hope we can bring everyone along with us and they’ll continue to change and grow with us, because I’m sure the third record is going to be different, too.” McKiernan is already eyeing Whitehall’s third album for good reason: The band has been living with most of the songs on Swordfish Catcher for two years or so. “We started writing them late 2018, early 2019,” Clark said, “right after Ocean Fiction came out. It was a two-year process of writing and recording, altogether.” Whitehall might be one of the few bands that’s found a silver lining in not being able to play live during the darkest days of the pandemic. The crew was able to work

without distraction at The Space Charleston (formerly Rialto Row) with producer Preston Dunnavant. “It kind of worked out because when we were going in to record it, it was right at the beginning of COVID,” said drummer Davis Rowe. “We weren’t trying to go out and play shows, so we had a lot more time to work on the record. It helped us a little bit in that sense.” Now that playing live is slowly becoming a possibility, the band has to figure out how to handle its old material without Magwood, all while they’ve also got a batch of songs ready for their third album. “I’ve heard it said that every band’s favorite songs are the ones they just wrote,” Clark said with a laugh. And as for the Ocean Fiction material, “There’s a few songs that we can’t pull off without the saxophone,” Clark said, “So that will probably limit some of our ability to play them in the short term. With enough time, we could probably rearrange them.” Nevertheless, Whitehall’s Ocean Fiction success has paid dividends, with over 1 million streams on Spotify and around 30,000 monthly listeners. A fact that helps sustain the group as they prepare to head back on the road. “This can be pretty grueling,” Clark added, “So, the affirmation and validation is very, very welcome.”

The Charleston Pour House is getting into the social-distanced concert game with two new shows coming up in April. Taking residence in PoHo’s sprawling back parking lot, situated under rambling oak trees, it’s the James Island venue’s first venture into pod-style shows that have been popular at The Bend and Firefly Distilling. Until now, the Pour House deck has hosted ticketed shows, and inside shows are also being worked back into upcoming schedules. The local crew of Susto will open the format, April 23. Grammy Award-winning modern bluegrass quintet The Infamous Stringdusters will take the stage two days later, April 25. Tickets will be sold in groups of four or six, and start at $40 per ticket.
