resurgence of COVID-19 spearheaded by the highly transmissible delta variant is sweeping across South Carolina, inflating daily COVID infections to levels that haven’t been seen since before vaccinations became widely available and leaving hospital staff fearing for a return to another emergency situation.

“We’re not there today,” Dr. Patrick Cawley, CEO of MUSC Health told the City Paper last week. “I certainly hope that does not happen, but we want to continue to watch this day by day, week by week … we have a chance today — if people get vaccinated this week … hopefully we never get into a situation like we ran into last year.”

News 08.04.2021

But, the situation is already dire. Reports nationwide detail stories of those hospitalized with severe symptoms asking nurses and doctors for the vaccine only to be told it’s too late. One hospital in Louisiana is facing overwhelming influxes of patients, according to a CNN report, leading to ward closures and a skyrocketing ICU population.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) statewide hospital bed capacity tracker shows 8,537 of 89 hospitals’ 11,165 inpatient beds were occupied as of July 27. Of those occupations, 453 were COVID-related, and 29.36% of those inpatients were in the ICU. MUSC’s Epidemiology Intelligence Project shows that while hospitals are still well-equipped to handle the surge, climbing numbers will eventually threaten area hos-

pitals. As of Aug. 2, 74% of MUSC inpatient hospital beds were occupied, and 72% of ICU beds in Charleston were occupied.

And even though hospitals are not facing extreme circumstances here yet, the rates of infection are still growing.

“We need to look at two things: you need to look at the number of actual infections that have happened, and those do remain low, but then you really need to look at the leading indicator ... the rate of change,” Cawley said. “The rate of change has had a very, very, very steep uptick in the last three or four weeks. It’s just a matter of time before the total number of cases will start increasing.”

There is one key difference between this new wave of hospitalizations compared to last year’s — the ages are getting lower.

“Almost everybody we’re seeing in the hospitals are people that are unvaccinated, first of all,” Cawley said. “So if you look at

thought to have run their course.

New guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are reminiscent of 2020 warnings, advising indoor masking, even for fully vaccinated individuals. This is because while fully vaccinated people are at low risk of infection themselves, they are still capable of transmitting the disease to others.

While some health experts are recommending local governments to impose mask mandates, Tecklenburg said that is off the table in Charleston.

“I don’t want to have to be fussing with folks about wearing a mask again or writing tickets again,” he said. “Let’s not go there.

Let’s all go out and get vaccinated, then we won’t have to even deal with it.”

Cawley said that while it is well possible to prevent a second lockdown, he doesn’t think now is the time to rule it out.

who’s not vaccinated, it’s very, very little for the older age groups — it’s the middle age groups, and it’s trending lower.”

Cawley said while the likelihood of getting a severe infection had been lessening for younger people, the more-transmissible variants are closing the gap.

“You’ve seen the stories, these testimonials on the news,” Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg said at a July 29 press conference. “You’ve seen those stories, and it’s real.”

“It’s hard to predict these things and the impact they have,” he said. “At this point, there’s significantly more vaccines than demand. Even if everybody that has not been vaccinated wanted to get vaccinated tomorrow, we could easily handle that.”

Hospitals throughout the state are taking extra precautions to protect staff.

Charleston’s Medical University of South Carolina has mandated all of its employees get vaccinated. Now that vaccines are more widely available, these mandates are becoming more common.

And, the CDC has published extensive guidelines for schools, which are due to return to regular classes in the coming weeks. While school officials in South Carolina say they encourage masks and vaccines for all students attending school, they are unable to mandate it due to new laws passed by the legislature last year.

Rundown SC Tax Free Weekend coming up Aug. 6-8 The state’s annual weekend-long sales tax holiday kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday. When shoppers purchase certain items in South Carolina stores, both online and in-store, the 6% state tax will be waived in addition to applicable local taxes.

Items like school supplies, clothing, footwear, computers, musical instruments and outerwear are among the items that are exempt from the sales tax during the holiday.

Critics say the sales tax holiday is a “political gimmick” that is no substitute for tax relief.

SC proposal would increase protection of natural areas State leaders and land preservation advocates gathered last week to announce a wide-ranging initiative to dramatically increase protection and preservation of natural areas across South Carolina.

Gov. Henry McMaster, state Sen. Chip Campsen and conservationists are set to announce “support for ​​accelerating the pace and land conservation and improving funding for public lands management,” said Raleigh West, executive director of the South Carolina Conservation Bank.

The move comes after the pandemic year when state and local parks saw record numbers of visitors while newly remote workers fled major cities, settling in South Carolina.

“There’s just this tremendous demand for more public outdoor recreation, and at the same time, growth is happening,” West told the City Paper ahead of the announcement.

Campsen, a Republican from Charleston, said he is planning complementary legislation for when the General Assembly returns in January. Campsen’s proposal would rein-

state direct funding from deed registrations to the Conservation Bank, which buys property directly from landowners or pays them for a conservation easement that restricts further development. Another provision would direct sales tax revenue from sporting goods toward land-protection efforts.

“We’re seeing a lot of pressure and a lot of in-migration. And it’s important that we preserve our quality of life, and our natural resources that contribute to that quality of life in the face of that massive population migration we’re experiencing,” Campsen said last week.

“Otherwise, we’re gonna lose what makes South Carolina distinct and attractive in the first place.”

The measure to accelerate land preservation comes in parallel with Bidenadministration efforts to protect 30% of U.S. lands by 2030 as climate change affects natural areas from coast to coast.

West views the two proposals as “distinct and separate,” with much of the federal proposal dealing with public lands that dominate the American West. —Sam Spence

Local Olympians medal in Tokyo Two Olympic athletes hailing from the Charleston area picked up medals over the weekend in track and field events as a handful of South Carolina-native competitors try to outdo the competition in Tokyo.

Fort Dorchester High School graduate Jasmine Camacho-Quinn was the fastest woman on the track for the 100 meter hurdles Monday morning in Tokyo.

Hurdling for her mother’s native Puerto Rico, Camacho-Quinn captured the country’s first medal in the event. Ahead of the 100 meter finals, Camacho-Quinn was the favorite, hoping to move past her 2016 Olympic performance where she stumbled and fell late in the final race.

Camacho-Quinn’s medal is the second for a Charleston-area athlete. Raven Saunders

won silver in shot put a day earlier — the high point of the 25-year-old Burke High School graduate’s athletic career so far.

This marks Saunders’ second Olympics, but after finishing fifth in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, Saturday’s medal was her first.

Saunders has made her mark on this year’s games, and as an openly gay athlete who has felt the impact of mental health struggles and poverty, she’s also been outspoken about issues important to her.

On the medal stand, Saunders raised her hands over her head in a defiant X, a protest that Yahoo Sports called the “most high-profile protest yet” in Tokyo.

“It’s the intersection of where all people who are oppressed meet,” she told the Associated Press. —Sam Spence

Charleston County Council voted July 27 to name a new county services building for its chairman, finalizing a previous committee recommendation where Chairman Teddie Pryor cast the tiebreaking vote.

The proposal to name the new social services building under construction at the corner of Rivers and McMillan avenues in North Charleston came from Councilman Henry Darby. Arguing the proposal was an equity issue, Darby said plenty of public projects have been named for sitting elected officials, but few for African-American men and women.

At a July 22 committee meeting, four members of council voted against the proposal: Jenny Costa Honeycutt, Brantley Moody, Herb Sass and Dickie Schweers.

The remaining four — Darby, Anna Johnson, Pryor Kylon Middleton and Rob Wehrman — voted in support. With the vote split along party lines, Darby cast the final, tiebreaking vote. Honeycutt was absent Tuesday, leaving enough support for the proposal to carry without a deciding vote.

The move does not appear to have violated any rules or statutes, but Jay Bender, a longtime South Carolina media attorney, said Pryor’s initial tiebreaking vote didn’t pass the smell test.

Pryor told the City Paper the criticism was a nonissue.

“Every four years, I go into the booth and I vote for myself to be reelected to office, so why wouldn’t I vote for myself if I feel that I’m worthy or somebody else feels that I’m worthy?” he asked.

Most of the proposal’s detractors said they opposed it in principle, but one member mentioned the bungled multimillion dollar redevelopment of the former naval hospital across Rivers Avenue from the social services complex.

“I think that it’s not right for one of us on council to have a building named after us — we’re here to serve,” said Sass. “And it’s certainly not right that one of us who was here with the problems that went [on] across the street — that this should happen. This is a great tragedy to me.”

Charleston County Council members naming buildings after their own is not a recent or uncommon phenomenon.

In 2010 as chairman, Pryor also supported council’s decision to name the new county jail after its longtime elected sheriff, Al Cannon. —Sam Spence

vaccination rates allow the virus to continue to mutate and new, more significant variants to spread.

“Just like vaccines have been overwhelmingly successful in saving populations from polio, tetanus, hepatitis, measles, whooping cough, the flu and many other diseases, we have life-saving vaccines that protect us from this new disease, including its variants, widely available,” the spokesperson said.

Tecklenburg said while COVID-19 has been a universal pandemic, one without a clear path out of, we’re now seeing an “optional pandemic” — one that the public can “opt out of” by getting vaccinated.

Cawley said he couldn’t stress enough the safety and importance of getting vaccinated.

“You look at almost every health system in the country, the most vaccinated group, in the high 90%, is almost always doctors,” he said. “Physicians are trained to evaluate large amounts of clinical data and studies … they’ve looked at themselves and have decided to get vaccinated.”

Cawley denounced common “fables” he hears from those who show severe vaccine hesitancy, such as the speed with which they were developed and that the methods used by vaccines are experimental and unknown.

“The fable is that the vaccine is not safe and it’s not effective, and that is absolutely not true.”

Without excessive-force law, people will keep dying S

Views 08.04.2021

outh Carolina law allows law enforcement to shock, gas, restrain and kill people with impunity as long as they’re following their training. That’s what our community learned last week when Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson delivered the news that the Charleston County deputies involved with Jamal Sutherland’s January death would face no state charges.

This is not acceptable. Our state legislature must act swiftly and decisively to enact proposed excessive-force statutes to help keep people safe during interactions with law enforcement officers.

It’s no secret that police often get the benefit of the doubt, letting departments avoid full accountability in the interest of law and order at any cost. But even Wilson laments that without an excessive-force law on the books, her hands are tied in some cases.

“We are one of only eight states in the country where the legislature has declined to enact any special or specific criteria for officer-involved force. That omission affects the state’s ability to hold officers accountable for excessive uses of force,” Wilson wrote in her explanation on whether to bring charges in Sutherland’s death.

This is not about rooting out a few bad cops. It’s about a top-down culture change for law enforcement. From Ben Tillman’s Red Shirts in the 1870s to the charged environment at the Al Cannon Detention Center, fear and violence have long been used as intimidation tactics by

8

paramilitary police to protect the white political ruling class. Deputies needlessly deployed deadly force on Jamal Sutherland without legal consequences because they were allowed to — they always have been.

So again, a South Carolina family is left without a path to justice under the laws of their own state. And again, we’re left to rely on the federal prosecutors to swoop in and bail out solicitors and the lawmakers who continue to enable our state’s primitive justice system. Remember: Michael Slager is in prison on federal civil rights violations in the killing of Walter Scott — Wilson’s 2016 prosecution of the former North Charleston cop resulted in a hung jury.

Thankfully, two Charleston-area lawmakers have already filed a bill to make sure officers who exploit their power have to answer to a judge in state court.

“What happened to Jamal Sutherland was unacceptable and outrageous,” S.C. Rep. J.A. Moore (D-Hanahan) said May 13, soon after videos showing Sutherland’s killing were released. “There must be accountability, and we must take steps to make sure this never happens again.”

With Rep. Marvin Pendarvis, another young Charleston-area Democrat, Moore has also filed bills to ensure mental health patients in crisis receive medical treatment, not a mugshot.

South Carolina can no longer be indifferent to its deadly, unjust criminal justice system. Get serious and pass these bills into law.

OPINION

Anti-mask mandate will hurt South Carolina’s children By Andy Brack

As a result, too many children will get or spread coronavirus — now worse than last year at this time because of a new, more contagious strain — and more will suffer.

Children and more adults may die, thanks to the lamebrained GOP General Assembly’s lockstep denial of science.

“No school district, or any of its schools, may use any funds appropriated or authorized pursuant to this act to require that its students and/or employees wear a facemask at any of its educational facilities.” That’s the policy in the current state budget.

Make no mistake: Conservative lawmakers didn’t simply use a procedural, one-year budget proviso to say no to masks as they bowed to their holy mantra of personal freedom. They did it intentionally to push a narrow political viewpoint without regard to the health, welfare or safety of South Carolina’s students and parents.

It’s pitiful and it’s going to come back to bite South Carolina’s butt. Don’t look for the pandemic, now surging again with double-digit rates of positive tests, to ebb anytime soon. The rush to return to normal will keep normal

from returning for some time.

What’s unfortunate is that state legislators are unlikely to take corrective action in a coming special session even though the nation is starting to “mask up” again following a revised guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It recommends that vaccinated Americans wear masks again inside in places where the virus is raging, such as South Carolina.

“It’s such a political issue now, I doubt the legislature would wade into it knowing the governor would veto,” said one senior GOP source in South Carolina who asked not to be named.

House Democrats aren’t happy with what has transpired.

“To be clear, the Budget Proviso 1.108, prohibiting masks requirements in public schools, was passed with Republicans votes only in the House,” Columbia Democratic Rep. Wendy Brawley told Statehouse Report, City Paper’s sister publication. “I, along with other House Democrats, voted against the proviso because we believe that locally elected school boards should make those safety decisions.

It is my sincere hope that my Republican colleagues will reverse the proviso and allow school districts to do what is necessary to ensure the safety of students, teachers and staff in public schools. Political posturing should not compromise student safety!”

Republicans, including Gov. Henry McMaster who has been leading the anti-mask effort, whine mask-wearing should be voluntary and up to parents, not the government.

Hogwash. It’s government’s responsibility to ensure the safety of all of its citizens from enemies domestic and foreign — including the virus that has infected more than 500,000 South Carolinians, wreaked untold havoc on families and cost billions of dollars.

What’s so bloomin’ conservative about a simple thing like wearing a mask when the financial costs to society skyrocket just to deal with the devastating outcomes? Why is the GOP so bloody scared about a little shot that’s almost universally effective at dampening the virus?

You don’t hear caterwauling about bringing a car to a halt at stop signs or getting car insurance to have the privilege to drive. Or as our friends at the Greenwood IndexJournal sarcastically wrote this week, why should the state even have health regulations?

“If restaurant owners want to store food in non-refrigerated containers, let mold form in ice machines and not require employees to wash their hands before handling food and after bathroom visits, so what?”

Republicans have led this state for more than two decades. With the anti-leadership they are showing from top to bottom, it is truly time to throw the bums out.

Metal + Petal hoping to blossom in Charleston design scene

Interior design can be a very intimidating process. Depending on your taste and budget, the possibilities can be endless, and so can the potential for disastrous decisions. Interior design firms, then, are incredibly vital to businesses or individuals looking to make big changes to their spaces. Enter Metal + Petal, an interior-design company that is expanding out of Georgia into the Charleston area.

Founded in 2016 in Athens, Georgia, Metal + Petal is a full service interior design firm serving both residential and commercial needs.

They’ve worked on restaurants, stores, yoga studios, bed and breakfasts, and plenty of Joyner personal homes. Wife and husband duo Jade and Graham Joyner are the co-founders.

Graham serves as CEO, while Jade works as creative director and the principal designer.

It’s her style that permeates through Metal + Petal’s work, influenced by her 15 years designing in Europe. Jade’s first boutique was founded in Budapest, Hungary, and

BJ Stadelman quit his 9-to-5 job in 2017 and opened his Haegur plant shop a year later at 1101 King St. in downtown’s North Central neighborhood. Inside, the space was artfully covered in plants — hanging from the ceiling, sprouting from the walls and tastefully covering every other available display area.

But after luring Charlestonians to the flagship shop for two years, greeted by a greenery and Stadelman’s dog Kai, he’s cleared out his inventory and closed up the shop for good.

But fear not, plant lovers.

Game Night Charleston now open

Metal + Petal combines Southern style and European flair.

“We love this town, it’s very European, but there’s a lot of sweetness here … We live on the edge a little bit more,” Jade said, describing what sets them apart from the rest of the pack. The team describes their style as a little odd, unique, bespoke, tongue-in-cheek, and a mix of traditional and modern. They pride themselves on the fact that none of their rooms are ever repeated, something that Jade laughingly

admits can drive her teammates spare.

Every new design must bring something new to not just the client, but Metal + Petal as well.

Whether you’re coming in with an idea and need help executing, or are completely at a loss for where to start, Metal + Petal is prepared to assist you. They try to tailor experiences and designs to the lifestyles and personalities of their clients. It’s not a company that forces a specific style or look on everyone.

“We’re full service,” Graham said. “So we

Game Night Charleston finally opened its doors at 1044 East Montague Ave. in North Charleston on July 31.

Snacks and drinks are kept on hand from local companies like Dalai Sofia and Grey Ghost Bakery. —MS

who are interested in working with them book now for a new-year installation.

Metal + Petal currently has a location in Athens, but it will be opening in Charleston in late fall. One thing they are proud of is that their physical locations always include works of art from local artists. So they have been getting connected with local Charlestonians to make sure there is local flavor in their new location.

“We are passionate about what we do and who we do it for,” Jade said about her connection to both her team and her clients. She and Graham are hoping to not only make Charleston their home, but make Metal + Petal an integral part of the Charleston community. They host frequent clients days at their physical locations, and intend to hold welcoming events at their new Charleston location when it officially opens later this year.

Jade doesn’t see any obstacles to their extension into the Lowcountry. “I’m not really nervous about our expansion to Charleston. It feels very organic to us,” she said. They aren’t hung up on the idea of competition, but are more interested in the unique and exciting design opportunities.

“We just do our thing. We do our thing and we do it well. So we don’t really see many obstacles. We did something from scratch in five years that most people said couldn’t be done. I definitely think we can do it in Charleston, and do it even better.”

install everything. We do construction if need be. We can do each part of a remodel.

I think people feel safer being able to call one company and deal with us. And they know everybody that’s coming in and out of their house. So that makes them feel more isolated and safer.” So anyone worried that they’ll need additional help outside of the designers, know that you’re covered.

Metal + Petal also has an eye on recycling.

When renovating a space, everything they remove is taken to one of their warehouses.

They then hold warehouse sales that serve as community outreach events. It allows Metal + Petal to connect with their neighborhood while also recycling fixtures and furniture.

“We think of our clients as partners,” Jade said. “We’re really invested in their lives and in their stories. A lot of our clients hire us for one house, and we grow with them.

We’re just really invested.”

“So far our response from people has been, like, ‘We need that here so bad,’’’ said Abby Feltner, junior commercial designer.

“I think people are a little tired of the same old room and space and look and fabric.”

Since kicking things off in Charleston earlier this year, Metal + Petal have already booked plenty of projects. One of their favorites is a new build for a couple on Johns Island. Many of their clients are former city dwellers who are relocating to the Charleston area and want touches that remind them of the metropolitan decor. They suggest clients

Palmira Barbecue serves beef from Creekstone Farms and pork from Peculiar Pig Farm

Palmira pop-up brings sustainable approach to Texas-style barbecue

Cuisine 08.04.2021

Hector Garate may have the tools and drive to be the next great Charleston pitmaster, but that’s not his mission.

The Puerto Rican-born owner of Palmira Barbecue serves made-fromscratch Texas barbecue cooked in an offset smoker Garate welded himself — with a little something extra.

“I’m doing sustainable barbecue.

Essentially, farm-to-pit — that’s my thing,” Garate said. “Now, do I use Texas cooking techniques to do that? Yeah, I do. I use the offset smoker — that’s a Central Texas thing. But it’s more than that.”

Garate moved to the continental U.S. as a kid, living in North Carolina and Texas before finding his way to Brooklyn, where he worked his way through professional kitchens. In 2019, he moved to Charleston with Texas-style barbecue on his mind. But before he could start cooking, he knew he needed an offset smoker, adapting a decommissioned propane tank that slowly burns wood, allowing the fat in the protein to break down over an extended cooking period.

“Two years ago, I decided to just buy this

cheap offset smoker. I started getting into the scene a little bit more, and it became more of a hobby for me,” Garate said. “I needed to produce real barbecue, so that entailed getting a real offset smoker.”

According to Garate, there was a one-year waitlist for the offset smoker he felt was necessary to stand out in a city filled with barbecue — not to mention they cost upwards of $15,000. So, he decided to build his own.

“I bought this cheap welding machine,

and I was like, ‘I’m going to start learning how to weld,’” Garate said. “Eventually, I just got good enough that I was like I feel comfortable enough to build this thing.”

Nine months later, Garate completed his smoker, which was filled with brisket from Creekstone Farms at his very first Palmira Barbecue pop-up at Hobcaw Brewing Company July 16. Along with the brisket, CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

A new plant-based eatery serving vegan burgers, wings, breakfast burritos and more is now open in North Charleston. Located at 5117 Dorchester Road, Vined The Vegan Experience is the extension of a pop-up owner Christian Keith started while working in finance, she told the City Paper.

Keith went vegan in 2017, launching Vined as a pop-up less than two years later in 2019. The pandemic led her to go all-in on Vined by quitting her finance gig and finding a brick-and-mortar location for the restaurant in the space previously occupied by a Wings R Us. Guests can expect to find plantbased burgers, fried cauliflower “vings,” mushroom steak with asparagus and mashed potatoes, shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, breakfast burritos and more on the Vined menu.

Vined is open 8 a.m.-7 p.m.

Monday-Friday and 10 a.m.-7 p.m.

Saturday. For more information, follow Vined on Instagram @vined_ theveganexperience.—Parker Milner

Grey Ghost Bakery adding jobs, equipment Grey Ghost Bakery will expand operations in Charleston with a $395,000 investment, the company announced last week. The investment will create 25 new jobs and “increase the company’s production and co-packing capabilities to meet growing demand,” a press release said.

Grey Ghost owner Katherine Frankstone founded the company in Columbia in 2011, starting out with just three cookie flavors: cinnamon pecan, molasses spice and chocolate espresso. Nowadays, Grey Ghost offers seven different types of cookies, cakes and pies which can be ordered online.

According to Frankstone, the investment will allow the company to purchase additional ovens, mixers and possibly packaging machines.

Frankstone said they are looking to hire bakery production assistants, baking mixer operators, retail sales people and dishwashers. —PM Be the first to know. Read the Cuisine section at charlestoncitypaper.com.

Garate smokes Palmira’s meat in an offset smoker he welded himself that here. It’s as clean as you’re going to get, and that’s what we’re trying to bring. I think barbecue should be all about that. You should have a sustainable operation because it’s possible.”

Palmira Barbecue’s name is an homage to Garate’s grandmother, who grew up on a sustainable cattle ranch. The pitmaster doesn’t know where the pop-up will take him, but with a mission this grand, he’ll need supporters who recognize that barbecue can be sustainable.

“Palmira is just a poster child. Behind Palmira is so many people,” Garate said.

“It’s a whole community behind it.”

Garate served house-made sausage, Peculiar Pig Farm heritage breed whole hog and smoked beef cheeks, a cut Garate says is unique to the Lowcountry barbecue scene.

Garate brought his 50-pound smoker to the inaugural pop-up to showcase his handmade creation, but moving forward, he’ll cook briskets, hogs and more ahead of time. Accompanying him at the event was Peculiar Pig Farm owner Marvin Ross, who supplies Palmira Barbecue with pork.

“As soon as we met, we clicked, and we started working together because we knew that we both were in the same mindset,” Garate said. “They have the best pork that I know of. We work together, and without him, there would be no Palmira.”

Serving Texas-style barbecue usually means cooking less pork, but thanks to Ross, Garate is finding ways to incorporate Peculiar Pig Farm product into the menu with options like ribs and Carolina gold rice with pig-head hash. Beyond that, Ross has helped Garate learn more about sustainable farming, an essential component of Palmira Barbecue.

“The sourcing is so important for Palmira. The goal with Palmira is solving a problem, and that problem is getting everything sustainable,” Garate said. “So, the brisket is Creekstone — nobody’s serving

having fun and decided to make an EP.” As you might have guessed, “fun” is the operative word for both men.

“That’s our only rule,” Durrette said.

“We’ve both been doing this for a long time and been away from our families enough.

So let’s do this until it’s not fun. When it’s not fun for either of us, we’ll stop.”

Of course, having fun as Yesterday’s Wine is a lot easier when both members have lucrative songwriting careers.

“I feel incredibly blessed for that,” Durrette said. “It’s so much fun, and I love it, but it takes a lot of weight off our backs that it’s not something we have to do to make ends meet. It’s a passion.”

A typical Yesterday’s Wine show features some of the hits that put both men on the map, some personal favorites, some tracks from their 2019 self-titled EP, and some songs that, one way or another, might end up on the radio someday.

“We’re doing this to release a glorified demo album for bigger country artists to cut the songs,” Durrette said, “but also more importantly for people to hear the music.”

Local musician Derek Cribb will be playing an amalgam of creative covers and original songs at LoLA restaurant in Park Circle Tuesday, accompanied

by John Picard (of Well Charged and Operation Irie) on the drums. When playing as a duo, the two musicians call themselves JP/DC. Cribb, an original founder of band Sol Driven Train, has been writing and performing music in the local scene for years, though he took a break from Charleston in the early 2000s when he relocated to L.A. with his brothers Rik and Billy Cribb. —Kate Bryan

Mechanical River’s new song shines a light on the dark spots Mechanical River, the artist moniker of Charleston-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Joel Hamilton, released a new single, “OK OK,” earlier this year.

The song made its debut on EmbassyFreqs.com, a platform Hamilton created with local multimedia artist and musician Kevin Hanley that enables musicians to “cut out the middleman” that comes with other streaming services.

Hamilton, who has shared stages with musicians like Rufus Wainwright and Counting Crows, crafted “OK OK” as an act of release during a time of personal darkness. —KB

Inside the mind of singersongwriter Cole Collins Local musician and producer Cole Collins’ newest singles, “SOMEDAYS” and “Solar Reprise,” show him returning to writing and releasing music with renewed fervor after a hiatus.

His first release this year, “SOMEDAYS,” is an indie track with pop undertones. Piano adds a contemplative mood, while echoey vocals lend an ethereal quality. Thematically, the song is a representation of the peaks and valleys of the human experience.

His other release, “Solar Reprise,” is slightly more uplifting, conceptually.

Collins wrote the song after a quarantine stroll outside, and the lyrics center around the idea of the sun. —KB

Singer-songwriter Will Blackburn considers the fragility of live music Will Blackburn is best known as the frontman for alt-rock band Stop Light Observations, but he has been working on his own stuff for years, bridging jazz and soul with a tinge of folk.

He just finished all the tracking for a solo EP that will go to Coast Records to be completed. Every member of psych pop band Little Bird performed on the upcoming record, and bandleader Jay Hurtt helped Blackburn produce it.

“Stop Light does such a high production value for our genre. We definitely keep our stuff pretty polished and clean, but my solo record will have a lot of nuance to it. There will be audible moments where if you were to be hyper analyzing it, you would say, ‘He should go back and redo that one word so it’s perfect’ — but that’s the point of this, not being a perfectionist. I had to push myself to not get caught up on the little things here and there.”

With another solo show at Tobin’s Market under his belt this year after several performances at the venue with groups like Psycodelics and Fox Hunt, Blackburn can’t help but think about the nature of the new normal for gigs — that some styles of music haven’t functioned the same with the lack of live interaction derived from the crowd.

“For my solo stuff, I don’t need a crowd that’s jumpy and buzzy and high energy, but with Stop Light, that’s like the whole deal. It’s gonna be a different show if I have a really good crowd, but I always do my best and due my diligence to practice, practice, practice, so no matter where I am and who I’m playing in front of, I can still give in the same way. It’s not giving just for others—it’s also for yourself.”

He looks at groups like Susto or Little Stranger who are in the honeymoon phase of touring again, and how it’s reaccepted to

Before an upcoming tour with Stop Light Observations, vocalist Will Blackburn focuses on his solo work as he contemplates what the new normal for the live music industry will look like gather large crowds together. And he considers how it all could go away again.

“I see artists in town that got hit more heavily because they were newer, and they didn’t have the infrastructure around them to allow them to financially float through the pandemic.” Blackburn has been grateful for the room to breathe and refresh, but with things ramping back up, he realizes how fragile it all is — that small, local musicians won’t make it through another crisis.

“I am cautious about being overtly optimistic about the nuanced effects of the pandemic because I know how hard it has been on people. And I know we live in the world where we are expected to be shiny, happy, smiling faces — where everything is glamorous and wonderful — and we do it quite well.” —Chelsea Grinstead
