But growing efforts to do more targeted and community-based vaccination campaigns by MUSC and others have helped alleviate many of the hardships associated with getting vaccinated. And that goes beyond simply offering a vaccine.

The same day South Carolina scored the dubious honor of having America’s highest COVID-19 rate, Travel + Leisure announced Charleston as its top U.S. destination for the ninth consecutive year.

T+L’s annual World’s Best list was announced Sept. 8, with Charleston taking the top American spot and the only U.S. city on the magazine’s worldwide destination list.

Charleston edged out Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Savannah for the top U.S. spot. Stuck between Jaipur, India, and Tokyo, Japan, Charleston snagged No. 19 in T+L’s top world city destinations.

Over the course of last week, South Carolina also found itself the top U.S. locale for COVID-19, with more infections per capita than every other state.

SCETV backs off leasing space to outside station petitor in the same building with the public broadcaster. Additionally, they said the deal could threaten state funding if state lawmakers withheld money in the future.

SCETV President and CEO Anthony Padgett announced the proposal to staff in a Sept. 3 email that outlined what could happen in the short-term and long-term: Short-term facility rental: “This appears to be an appropriate revenue-generating opportunity for SCETV. We will continue our conversations and are evaluating this opportunity with the hope of making a final determination in the next few days. If the short-term rental proves to be feasible and beneficial, we expect the

WOLO team will begin using the studio on or about October 1,” the email said.

Long-term facility rental: “Exploratory conversations are also taking place around the WOLO team occupying space in the building on a long-term basis. At this time, these are preliminary conversations; nothing around this topic has been finalized.”

As of Sept. 8, the state agency that provides fiscal oversight, such as approving leasing deals, did not know about the proposal, according to Grant Gillespie, executive director of the State Fiscal CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Cooper River Bridge Run will require vaccine or negative COVID test Cooper River Bridge Run (CRBR) organizers announced a “vaccine or test” requirement last week for participants ahead of the Sept. 25 event that could attract up to 25,000 people to the area. City of Charleston officials are requiring the precaution, a spokesman confirmed, and race organizers said it mirrors similar steps taken by other events nationwide.

“With high COVID caseloads and local hospitals nearing capacity, the city is continuing to work closely with area medical professionals to craft strong and sensible safety guidelines for this year’s race,” said Charleston city spokesman Jack O’Toole.

The annual 10K typically attracts more than 40,000 runners and walkers to the Charleston area, where cases are spiking and hospitals are nearing capacity.

South Carolina and Charleston have seen some of the highest case numbers in the country. As part of the precautions, the CRBR has limited the race field to 25,000 participants this year.

Before picking up bib numbers, participants must show proof of vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours of the Bridge Run Expo in North Charleston, Sept. 23. Once vaccination status or test results have been verified, runners can pick up bib numbers from 12-8 p.m., Sept.

23, or from 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Sept. 24 at the Charleston Area Convention Center.

CRBR has also implemented additional COVID-19 protocols, including: staff and volunteers wearing masks, mask requirement on participant transportation, smaller corrals, spacing out start times and hand sanitizing stations.

Improved Moultrie Playground almost ready Visitors to the area around Colonial Lake will notice improvements to Moultrie Playground, a popular gathering place for downtown residents and people seeking a little play (or rest) time.

Charleston Parks Conservancy will celebrate the renovated Moultrie Playground Sept. 24, with planned family activities including music, food, dancing and, of course, the new and improved park.

The new park includes: new playground equipment, new basketball court, new pickleball court, new pathways, off-street food truck parking and new seating and picnic areas.

The work on Moultrie Playground is an extension of the group’s renovation and overhaul of Colonial Lake. With locally driven fundraising, the project came about as a public-private partnership between the conservancy, the city and community leaders. Ultimately, the Moultrie Playground Renovation Committee raised

more than $300,000 for the renovation, according to the group.

“This is another incredible example of how the Charleston Parks Conservancy works with neighbors, private donors and the city of Charleston to create stunning public spaces and connect people to their parks,” said Tom McGuire, executive director of Charleston Parks Conservancy.

“We are grateful to our fundraising committee, the many private donors and our staff for their hard work on this project. We know residents, visitors and families will be enjoying this space for years to come.”

Donations are still being accepted for the ongoing maintenance of Moultrie Playground as well as more than 20 other parks and playgrounds the Parks Conservancy helps maintain within the city of Charleston. For info, visit charlestonparksconservancy.org.

RUNNERS UP A $400 bicycle was stolen from a downtown man’s front porch. Even porch thieves are loving these cooler temps — perfect bike-riding weather.

It’s fall, y’all.

A downtown man who was in a car accident while suspected of driving under the influence recounted the details of the accident, saying, “We were moving along, then we weren’t.”

Not inaccurate!

A bag containing $900.28 meant to be deposited in a West Ashley bank was cut open and nearly all the money was stolen. The suspect reportedly left behind the 28 cents. Smart thinking. Nothing more suspicious than someone who carries loose change.

S.C. Educational Television (SCETV) has backed off an exploratory leadership proposal to lease space in its Columbia studio to a private broadcaster following pushback by staff.

The proposal to generate new revenue comes two years after a former board chairman and two others resigned after months of drama to try to get more money from SCETV’s nonprofit endowment that has pumped millions of dollars into the network to ensure South Carolinians get high-quality public programming.

Last week, sources said the agency’s news and content staff members were edgy about a potential deal with WOLO-TV, an ABC affiliate, because it would put a news com-

answer as many of these questions as we can and provide factual data and information so South Carolinians can make informed decisions for themselves and their families.”

But ease-of-access isn’t the only metric to blame for slowing vaccination rates among white communities, Sweat said.

“There’s definitely a lot of misinformation, conspiracy theories — it’s explained by those things — fear of microchips being in it and all the things you’ve seen,” he said.

While these fears aren’t unique to white people, studies published by the Pew Research Center show less than half of those surveyed who lean Republican have faith in health experts, and as many as 63% believe the pandemic has been exaggerated.

Similar lines are drawn when looking at racial demographics.

Leading up to the pandemic, an antivaccination movement was growing in both size and influence.

“A lot of it is driven by what I would call misinformation, and that has been pervasive all along,” Sweat said.

Moving forward, he said, it will become more important to try and understand the beliefs of those who put their faith in vaccines and those who don’t.

“What we have got to do is try to understand all these beliefs and do our best to educate and dispel myths as we go forward and chip away at this,” Sweat said. “If we don’t get these numbers up, we’re going to continue to deal with these cyclical outbreaks until, unfortunately, a very large proportion of people ultimately get infected and gain immunity through that. But that’s a terrible way to go.”

Accountability Authority (SFAA).

“I have not heard of this to date, and to my knowledge, there are no plans to discuss today”, he said at the authority’s Sept. 8 board meeting.

Late Sept. 8, Padgett, through an agency spokesman, said the deal was off: “This has been a recent exploratory conversation, as we explained in the email to staff. Based on our review of the situation, including staff feedback, we will not be proceeding in this direction.”

SCETV commissioners reportedly also did not know about the proposal for WOLO to move into the agency’s space.

“We have kept our Commission Chairman informed of the conversations taking place as we explored this opportunity,” Padgett said. “This was intended to be a topic for

discussion at the upcoming Commission meeting. Again, this was an exploratory conversation, and we would not have proceeded before discussing with our full Commission.”

Finally, when asked about why there was a need to rent space to a private broadcaster, Padgett explained, “We were approached by a local broadcaster about the potential for renting space in our facility — an opportunity which held the potential to benefit our agency and create additional industry-specific partnerships. If another state agency (or another entity) would have approached us, we would have explored that opportunity as well.”

Jeff West, vice president and general manager of WOLO, said Sept. 9 that the station’s lease of office space in a building across from the Statehouse will end in six months. When asked where its news team would go after then, he said, “You’ll just have to stay tuned and see. That’s all I’ve got to say about it.” —Andy Brack

An immodest proposal W

Views 09.15.2021

ay back in 1729, Irish cleric Jonathan Swift published a satirical essay to mock British attitudes toward the Irish poor. Called “A Modest Proposal,” it opined the Irish might improve their lot by selling their children as food to rich Britons.

It was an absurd argument but it made the point about poor British treatment of the Irish.

Fast forward to modern-day South Carolina, a state with one of the nation’s highest rates of COVID-19. Here’s an immodest proposal: Republicans should continue to moan and groan about wearing masks and getting vaccinations because it will harken a Democratic rise to power. Then, maybe S.C. Democrats will show some vaccine leadership, instead of what we’ve got — the continued politicized kowtowing to a former president’s failed agenda.

Yes, this too is an absurd argument. But doesn’t it have the bitter taste of possibility as the relentless delta variant shows no mercy and doesn’t infect based on politics?

Right now in South Carolina, anti-vax Republicans, including too many leaders in the state General Assembly, are among the loudest who scream the need for freedom from mask and vaccination mandates. But if rank-and-file Republicans continue to listen to this garbage, and resist vaccinations, Darwinian logic and common sense dictate the destiny they will chart: A higher rate of death, which will lead to fewer Republicans and, in turn, a higher percentage of Democrats. With more than 10,000 deaths in the Palmetto State due to pandemic, fewer Republicans in the voting pool could lead to changes ahead.

Doesn’t it make more sense to just get the jab, which, despite protests of conspiracy theorists, is viewed by scientists as safe and effective? Just last week, MUSC Health infectious disease specialist Dr. Scott Curry said there’s a rise

in breakthrough infections among those who are vaccinated, but they face a much different fate than the unvaccinated: “There’s a big difference between feeling like you have a cold for a few days from a breakthrough infection versus being on a ventilator if you’re unvaccinated,” said Curry. “If you don’t want to risk being on a ventilator, I suggest you get vaccinated.”

Vaccine resisters should heed the Sept. 11 message of former President George W. Bush at a memorial service to the heroes of downed Flight 93 in Pennsylvania: “In the weeks and months following the 9/11 attacks, I was proud to lead an amazing, resilient, united people.

When it comes to the unity of America, those days seem distant from our own. A malign force seems at work in our common life that turns every disagreement into an argument, and every argument into a clash of cultures.

So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment.”

Bush called on Americans to unite again like the passengers on Flight 93 who, in the face of evil, put their country before their lives by making sure the jet wasn’t used as another airborne bomb.

“These Americans were brave, strong and united in ways that shocked the terrorists — but should not surprise any of us,” the former president said. “This is the nation we know.

And whenever we need hope and inspiration, we can look to the skies and remember.”

If you haven’t gotten vaccinated, get the shot. Don’t let today’s divisive, anti-American politics win.

OPINION

Off-year elections give half of Charleston City Council low-key path to victory By Sam Spence

You weren’t one of the few who punched a Charleston ballot in 2017? Don’t worry, most people didn’t. But you’ve got another chance this year, so listen up.

The fact is, if you and your buddies live in West Ashley, downtown, or on James Island, there’s at least an 85% chance each of y’all didn’t vote in the last city council election. (Assuming, of course, they’re all registered to vote.)

Municipal elections in Charleston County are held in odd-numbered years, which means local races in Mount Pleasant, Summerville, North Charleston, Charleston and elsewhere are usually elected when there’s nothing else on the ballot.

Off-year elections have some advantages, but are not without tradeoffs.

Yes, it does let candidates debate local issues without competing against statewide or presidential candidates for attention and advertising air-

time. That means campaigns can cost less, making it easier for candidates to run without having to pay consultants and spend time dialing for dollars.

But in practice, it means a fraction of Charleston County residents vote for the people who represent them and favors incumbents looking to skate to reelection on name recognition.

In Charleston City Council District 6, a total of 828 people voted on election day in 2017.

Challenger Amy Brennan edged out incumbent Councilman William Dudley Gregorie by a single vote — that, with seven write-ins, forced a runoff election. Two weeks later, Gregorie mustered enough support to win by 31 votes. Neither candidate got more than 500 votes in either election.

In District 10, would-be Councilman Harry Griffin eventually won by first losing a three-way race by 37 votes, before winning the runoff against Summer Massey. After scoring 403 voters’ support on election day, 446 voted for him in the runoff.

Griffin is up for reelection and has a challenger this year. Gregorie is unopposed, so he will not be on the ballot.

With the mayoral race on the ballot when the other half of Charleston City Council is up for reelection, turnout doubles in competitive races.

When Councilman Ross Appel knocked off

The fact is, if you and your buddies live in West Ashley, downtown, or on James Island, there’s at least an 85% chance each of y’all didn’t vote in the last city council election.

incumbent Bill Moody in 2019, he earned 2,084 votes by himself. That’s more than double the total turnout for Gregorie’s and Griffin’s 2017 races, and more than 10 times the measly 204 votes Rodney Williams got in 2013 that won him a four-year term on Charleston City Council.

Even Charleston County School Board, which now elects its members in even-numbered years, drew thousands of votes per district when voters lined up last year with the presidential election at the top of the ballot. Board Trustee Courtney Waters earned almost 64,000 votes in 2020, more than double the total turnout of the Charleston mayoral election a year earlier.

As do-nothing legislators continually get reelected at the state and national level with seemingly little regard for their constituents, it’s easy to feel like your voice doesn’t matter. But at the local level, the power of the ballot is real.

So, make sure you’re registered to vote by Oct. 3 at scvotes.org. Then, get some friends, and go vote Nov. 2.

Nationwide bike sales spiked after the pandemic began in March 2020, up 57% a year later, according to NPD Group industry trackers.

But by June of last year, Gruber said he’d sold through his inventory and couldn’t get any more. Ride Bikes faced a similar dilemma. Both were feeling the impacts of the global pandemicGruber induced supply chain squeeze. There were no more bikes to be had. “We need inventory to repeat previous year sales,” Gruber said.

Some analysts expect delays to persist into 2022 — bad news for local bike sellers, who hope to continue sending more bikes out the door.

What lessons can Charleston learn with thousands of new cyclists on the street?

Charleston bike shops couldn’t keep up with demand in 2020, as new riders hit local streets last year, along with runners, walkers and people letting their dogs work off some energy. Advocates say the thousands of added bikes on local roads could spell trouble, but it also means more voices to insist local bike facilities keep pace with demand.

Building Bikes

Ride Bikes in West Ashley started closing

By Sam Spence on Mondays during the pandemic just so

its mechanics could build enough bikes to stock the small shop on Saint Andrews Boulevard. Some weeks, they would all be gone by Tuesday.

“We definitely had a record year last year, as far as the amount of bikes we sold,” said service tech Myles Lietzke, as he wired up new brake cable for a bike in for repair. And when they weren’t selling, people were bringing in old bikes for a COVID-season cleaning.

Customers came in saying, “I haven’t ridden a bike in 10 years, I want to ride a bike again.”

“Well, it’s like riding a bike,” he’d remind them, with a traumatized chuckle. “That was my [joke] to keep my sanity.”

“And it wasn’t just us. Every bike shop in the area has just been bonkers,” he said.

Two rivers away, Trek Bikes of Mount Pleasant was also rolling through its stock.

“We had our biggest year ever. Significant

Almost immediately after the 2020 pandemic shutdowns, Charleston Moves executive director Katie Zimmerman said she heard from new and old cyclists who were seeing the state of local bike infrastructure for the first time.

“They finally understood what the problem is, because they were finally experiencing their communities by bike or by foot, and they just hadn’t been before,” Zimmerman said. “We heard from some really shocked people who were like, ‘Why is it like this? What is this?’ ” That feedback mirrors input residents give to local leaders responsible for implementing bike and pedestrian solutions. A full 70% of respondents in the 2018 Plan West Ashley report said there were short trips they would rather bike or walk if they could do it safely.

“Over and over again, people are saying they want to be able to walk and bike safely.

The region just needs to provide it,” she said.

Peter Wilborn, an attorney who founded Charleston-based Bike Law, which connects lawyers with cyclists injured in crashes, said his group’s 22-state network can “barely keep up” as post-COVID traffic returns to normal.

“The COVID bike boom is the COVID bike-crash boom,” he said, rattling off grisly details of cases where cyclists were struck by vehicles in Nevada, Maryland and elsewhere.

But, he said, more people on the road riding bikes is still the best way to ensure safety: “Ride share, which is the percentage of trips taken by bike, and ridership, the number of people riding, are the greatest predictors of bike safety.”

Less than 1% of Charleston residents used bikes to commute to work in 2019, according to the Census Bureau, but nearly half of the local workforce lives within 10 miles of work — the Bureau’s threshold for a feasible bike commute. As

Opera Theater brings big Italian celebration

Spoleto Festival USA announces new choir Spoleto Festival announced last week the formation of a new Spoleto Festival USA Chorus. The new professional choir is meant to expand on the Festival’s longstanding choral traditions.

Joe Miller will lead the festival chorus and will embark on a national tour to audition exceptional talent for the ensemble. The chorus, like the Festival Orchestra, will be made of new and returning members each year in a fluctuating roster dependent on the program needs for that year.

Arts 09.15.2021

The silence of Charleston Opera Theater’s big voices and big characters will soon come to an end. Its long-awaited gala showcase of operatic delights is reintroducing the 2-year-old company struck with an impromptu 18-month hiatus soon after its launch in late 2019.

“Our original goal was we’re going to do our first full staged production in fall of 2020,” said Harold Meers, founder and executive artistic director of Charleston Opera Theater. “As we start working toward that goal … it was like, OK, this is not going to happen because of the pandemic. That’s when our focus sort of switched to, ‘We have to find a way just to get out into the community and perform — take our art form into the community.’”

Charleston Opera Theater moved to free, outdoor community events in the absence of a traditional season. Partnering with the town of Mount Pleasant, the first outdoor concert took place at sunset on the waterfront last October with singers and pianos under the Ravenel Bridge — a picturesque event for people starved for live music. In May at the Hanahan Amphitheater, Charleston Opera Theater produced The Tragedy of Carmen, an adaptation of the classic opera.

But the acoustics of the outdoors are not ideal for opera, and Meers feels the community deserves to hear the sounds in their element. That feeling inspired the move to mount Serenata Italiana, the gala celebration that starts at 7:30 p.m., Sept.

18, at the Sottile Theatre.

Following the trend set by other spaces like the Gaillard Center and Charleston Music Hall and the College of Charleston’s own requirements for Sottile Theatre, COVID protocols will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the show. Attendees will be required to wear masks during the performance. There are also special seating tickets available for those who wish to be more distanced from other patrons.

Serenata Italiana is billed as “A Gala Celebration of Italian Opera,” and the lineup

Founder and executive artistic director of Charleston Opera Theater Harold Meers said working with local artists and venues is exciting and important certainly makes good on that claim. The Charleston Opera Theater Orchestra will play, and the College of Charleston Opera will contribute a chorus. And impressive and accomplished soloists from around the world will be on hand to perform selections from some of the best Italian scores in history. Sopranos Keri Alkema and Jasmine Habersham, tenor Dominick Chenes and baritone Michael Chioldi are set to headline.

Arias being presented include “Senza mamma” from Suor Angelica, “Si puo” from I Pagliacci and “Nessun dorma” from Turandot. “Bimba dagli’occhi” from Madama Butterfly and “Si, pel ciel” from Otello are on the program for duets.

“One of my very favorite pieces of music … It’s not as well known unless you’re a real avid opera-goer, but there’s this really beautiful quartet from Puccini’s lesser-known opera La Rondine that is a really exceptional piece of music,” Meers said.

“We’ve really tried to make a nice balance of arias, duets, ensembles and then some longer chorus numbers,” he said.

“In fact, we have one solo chorus number which is really exciting, ‘Va, pensiero’ from Nabucco, which is sort of the unofficial

Italian national anthem. A lot of passionate music on the program.”

Working with international artists is incredible, but it’s also important to the organization to work with emerging artists, so the partnership with CofC’s opera program is an important aspect, Meers said.

The training and mentoring of young singers ranks high among Meers’ priorities, and he speaks passionately about the company’s relationships with the college. The opportunity for students to cut their teeth in performance alongside working professionals is paramount for the company; so is making sure that local singers get that shine.

While Charleston Opera Theater does bring in established international performers for much of its heavy lifting, the company employs a great deal of local talent and makes it a priority to find Charleston artists capable of performing at the highest levels.

The company plans to follow its gala by returning to Firefly Distillery in North Charleston for another holiday event, which it debuted last December. Serenata Italiana will be back next year (fingers crossed), with a full-scale gala reception and artist meet-and-greets.

Maintenance of Way collab lands at Redux A new collaborative exhibit, Maintenance of Way, opens Friday at Redux Contemporary Art Center (1056 King St.). The exhibit is a collection of works by Hannah Barnes and Gyun Har, contemporary artists who focus on the concept of place as physical and mental layers of time.

Maintenance of Way kicks off with an opening reception from 5-8 p.m., Friday. Face coverings are required for entry. Visit reduxstudios.org for more information. —MS

A la carte Miami’s Le Chick to open on King Street

A new-look ‘Cabin Smash Burger,’ along with 12 other items, will be on the menu at Harold’s Cabin when it reopens

Harold’s Cabin reopens after 18-month closure with layout, menu changes

By Parker Milner To say Westside residents have missed Harold’s Cabin since it temporarily closed in March 2020 would be putting it far too lightly.

Thankfully, the time has come for the restaurant at Congress and President streets to reopen with even more of those quintessential neighborhood vibes thanks to a dining room reconfiguration and new menu filled with elevated pub fare and homestyle family recipes.

“It’s going to be even more cozy and comfortable. That’s what we did well, and we want to continue doing that,” said Harold’s Cabin owner John Schumacher, who will open the doors in September. “We want to continue to be part of the community — that’s what we did better than anything.”

Patrons will immediately notice changes when they walk in the door for the first time in over 18 months. A chalkboard lists daily specials, and upon entrance, guests will order from the counter before grabbing a seat in the reimagined dining room. Tables are more spaced-out, and by adding seats on the now-covered roof and upstairs bar, Schumacher says he’s able to seat as many people as before the pandemic.

The layout changes and switch to counter-service fit in with the transition to a more laid back “pub and bar forward” offering Schumacher believes will better serve the neighborhood.

“One of the advantages that’s occurred because of this is it’s not too often that a business gets to hit the pause button and review because once you’re open, you don’t have a lot of time for analysis,” he said. “It’s tough to take a step back, and we’ve had that opportunity.”

According to Schumacher, who plans to return to the kitchen for the first time in years, the post-pandemic Harold’s Cabin menu will feature around 12 items, along with daily specials and happy hour.

Look for “street cornbread,” chicken and crackling nachos, a reinvented “Cabin Smash Burger” with cheddar and caramelized onions and pickle-brined Rice Krispies chicken, a family recipe. For dessert, don’t miss the “Campfire Tortillas,” dusted with cinnamon-sugar and served with a cold glass of milk, Nutella, peanut butter and sliced bananas.

“I’ve been working on [the menu] for a while, but what I’ve found is I’ve tweaked it 30 times, and I’m continuing to do that,” he said. “The salads will be

pretty creative using a lot of the local produce, and we’re going to have some herbs upstairs that we’ll be able to use for both the kitchen and the bar.”

Like before the pandemic, patrons can slide into a bar seat for a Coors Banquet, local craft beer or new signature cocktail like the “Norma Jean,” made with locally sourced Nippitaty organic gin, elderflower and yellow chartreuse. And fans of Harold’s “Salty Raccoon,” a smoky rosemary-infused tequila concoction, can now order it frozen — Schumacher dubbed it the “Frosty Raccoon.”

Schumacher knows reopening after the extended closure won’t be easy, but he’s confident that the Westside neighborhood will welcome the restaurant back with open arms.

“It’s like pulling a used car out into traffic again. You don’t want to get out in the fast lane right away; you just want to ease it out there and see what works best,” Schumacher said. “The outpouring of support has been phenomenal from customers, folks in the neighborhood, people I know and people I don’t even know. That’s part of what being a restaurant is all about is community and building a family, and that’s part of what we’re about.”

Black Magic closes West Ashley location Black Magic Cafe has closed its West Ashley location, ending a two-year run at 1716 Ashley River Road.

Black Magic did not cite a reason for its decision. Black Magic James Island, located at 1130 Folly Road, will continue to serve customers 8 a.m.2:30 p.m. daily.

Miami-based restaurant Le Chick will open at 438 King St. in late 2022 following the sale of the three story 9,000-square-foot property for just under $6 million. The Dutch-inspired restaurant founded by Coco Coig and Jorge Sanchez will occupy the ground floor patio and retail space, while the upstairs will be leased as residential apartments, Coig told the City Paper.

Coig describes Le Chick as a hip, modern oasis for those in search of craft cocktails, elevated pub fare and a vibrant atmosphere.

Expect a similar vibe at Le Chick Charleston, where local architect Neal Stevenson is working to transform the space located two doors down from Halls Chophouse.

Look for a “big bar with craft cocktails” and dishes like rotisserie chicken, dry-aged brisket burgers and grilled Spanish octopus.

Pulse Sounds of Blackfox drop new rock album

Everything Cry Baby didn’t say

Local alt-rock band Sounds of Blackfox has released its debut LP, Sometimes Things Work Out. The new song “Out on a Limb” encapsulates Blackfox’s style that moves from light and airy to more heavy and distorted, said guitarist J.C. Player of the four-piece that includes frontman Tyler Thirkettle, bassist Adam Seith and drummer Darran Jones.

Thirkettles’s soulful vocals and Seith’s driving bass lines interlock the new album, which has signatures of Americana, jazz-inspired indie and blues rock.

Blackfox is focused on local gigs this fall, playing Fatty’s Beer Works Sept. 17, Purple Buffalo Oct. 1 and The Pour House Oct. 4. —Chelsea Grinstead

By Chelsea Grinstead Local pop outfit Cry Baby had already played shows and recorded a song together before singer-songwriter Jamie Gray officially joined in 2019. Call it a combination of good chemistry or pandemic-era songwriting sessions, but this summer, the committed five-piece released its debut album, Everything I Didn’t Say. The cohesive new record is 18 minutes of singalong-worthy tunes that bring you back to the 1990s, when boy bands and girl groups ruled the world.

Gray is joined by bassist Joey Haines, guitarist Carter Long, saxophonist Josh Kozic and drummer (sometimes rapper) Matt Allegrezza to elevate dancedriven bedroom pop with full-band instrumentation.

“We just go back and forth and bump a lot of heads and hate the song until it is great,” Haines said of the band’s pell-mell songwriting and recording process for the new album, which was largely the result of having more time to create than the band ever had before.

“We were playing so much pre-COVID, and we were comfortable with the songs,” Gray said. “When we didn’t have shows, we knew we should use the time to write, but stretching that mindset was much harder than we thought it would be.” During sessions, either nothing happened, lyrics and melodies were rewritten on the spot or scratch vocals ended up being the final take. In the end, the collective love for a quintessential pop song came through on Everything I Didn’t Say. The band’s varying musical influences — be it jazz or TLC — play to each other’s strengths. “It helps when we are working on the structure of a song,” Haines said.

“My go-to listening is not what Carter’s go-to listening is. He has a completely different approach and will push me to change things. In my head, the same thing loops over again, and he will say, ‘No, you need to cut that and change it.’ ”

She Returns From War back at Royal American Provided

In the wake of a new album, pop group Cry Baby gained a new perspective on navigating the local music industry Cry Baby appreciates that the pop genre can just throw things out there with the purpose of creating easy listening. “If it sticks, then it sticks,” Haines said. “In some moments the album is revealing or true, but it’s kind of a guilty pleasure experience.”

Dancing to a pop song is not usually about pensive reflection, after all.

The mental anguish that came with everything hanging in 2020’s balance may have been begging for care-free music, but the social unrest and tragedies of the protests and pandemic were not.

“We were in the studio one day and there were protests going on downtown,” Long said. “We were watching the news and our friends were getting tear-gassed, and we thought, ‘What are we doing here working on pop music that is supposed to make you have fun when people are being killed?

What is the purpose of this music? Can it affect positive change?’ ” Perhaps the answer for Charleston could be unearthed when the local music industry is recontextualized, not just as a relief for an ailing cultural community, but as viable employment.

“Gig work in general — you have nothing there to stabilize you if you are trying to do music full time,” Long siad. “You can’t get healthcare. You can’t get unemployment if

“

We were watching the news and our friends were getting teargassed, and we thought, ‘What are we doing here working on pop music that is supposed to make you have fun when people are being killed?’ ” —Carter Long

you can’t do shows. There’s no backbone. It’s not treated as a real thing. Even if you get signed to a label, which is a way you can get security, then they own your art. You don’t get to decide where you fit in.”

And the never-ending chase for booking management — “It’s like dating,” Haines said. “You’re always in the talking phase, you’re never in the committed, you’re-onmy-roster-phase. We realize we have to do it all ourselves. Everything has a catch so you just have to prove yourself and do it.”

Cosmic Americana outfit She Returns From War has started the first leg of a September tour with new songs to unveil and a return to The Royal American stage Sept. 17.

Frontwoman Hunter Park will be joined by longtime bandmates keyboardist Camille Rhoden and guitarist/drummer J.P. Chapa.

Park is encouraging masks and requiring vaccination cards or a negative test for stops on the tour.

She is also working with the venues to cancel shows if numbers in that specific area are too high. —CG

City to commemorate late jazz icon Morant To give the community the opportunity to celebrate the life of Joey Morant, the City of Charleston will hold a gathering Oct. 8 at Festival Hall (formerly Memminger Auditorium) downtown, followed by a 6 p.m. jam session tribute at The Commodore downtown.

Joey Morant played with greats like Dizzy Gillespie to Lionel Hampton to Aretha Franklin and was part of the formation of Piccolo Spoleto Festival and MOJA Arts Festival in the ’80s, his son Obie told City Paper last week.

Joey Morant was laid to rest at Beaufort National Cemetery. —CG

It’s been a long time coming for Marty Appel

22

Do you ever feel like you’re putting off pursuing your dream? Well, Charleston’s own Marty Appel recently played his firstever concert to showcase songs from his debut album, Behind The Shades — except he’s 70 years old, and it was at Charleston Music Hall.

Appel was backed by veteran players, including bassist Brian Stanley, who played with Garland Jeffreys and Bryan Adams, and drummer Anthony “Thunder” Smith, who played with Lou Reed.

So don’t give up on your dreams just yet.

Appel spent more than four decades as an optometrist while nursing a secret passion for songwriting. He was firmly entrenched in the music of his youth.

“My high school years were filled with quality music coming out of Laurel Canyon, California,” Appel said. “The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane — the mood of that, back in 1968, that was a wild time to be in school. And that’s the music that stayed with me. And it’s been validated by the kind of musicians who were willing to play my songs at the Charleston Music Hall.”

While there are certainly elements of The Byrds’ melodic folk-rock on Behind The Shades, Appel’s music is also a lot like the late J.J. Cale’s. The laid back groove is paramount, and Appel delivers his lyrics about low-down mistreaters and true love with a low-key confidence.

Perhaps some of that confidence comes because Appel has nothing to lose — he’s making music for the fun of it.

“I’ve always enjoyed writing songs and thought I could do it,” he said. “I was an optometrist for 42 years in a family business, and after I retired, I said, ‘I’m going

Rūta Smith

Optometrist Marty Appel toasts his long-time-coming as a blues rocker to do music. What am I waiting on?’ I’m not doing it for material gain or for a career — I’m doing it for enjoyment. But I’ve been encouraged by some really good musicians that I’ve got some good songs.”

One of those good musicians who encouraged Appel is Joe Taylor, a producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist who owns Salt Creek Recording studio in Bennett’s Point, in the ACE Basin. Appel found Taylor through a mutual friend, and they had an immediate chemistry.

“After recording with Joe, I was ready to have a sound that wasn’t forced,” Appel said, “that wasn’t mimicking someone, that wasn’t trying to be something I’m not.”

There’s one more person who deserves some credit in Marty Appel’s story — his son, Michael. Without his son’s enthusiasm, Appel might never have recorded his songs at all.

“Michael was really pushing,” Appel said.

“He said, ‘Dad you write songs, and no one ever hears them.’ He would take me to the recording studio, he supported me, and a lot of my songs are better because of his contributions.” —Vincent Harris

ooking for a Dumpster, front loader, commercial can, portable restroom or hand-washing station? You’ll find it through Trash Gurl, the Lowcountry’s largest locally-owned waste management company.

“We keep our community clean and sanitary,” says owner and operator Melissa Polutta, whose husband Jeff comes up with quirky, funny sayings on the sides of Trash Gurl’s distinctive purple waste containers.

“I love when people call me and tell me that seeing the Dumpsters made their day.

It just fuels us to keep coming up with new ones.”
