Charleston loses ‘cleanest in nation’ in new State of the Air report

News 04.27.2022

By Skyler Baldwin

More than 137 million people in the U.S. live in counties with unhealthy levels of air pollution, according to a new report from the American Lung Association (ALA) that analyzed air quality from 2018-2020. Some Charlestonians are among them.

The ALA’s State of the Air report released today looked at two buckets of air pollution — ozone and particle pollution — and particle pollution breaks down further to shortterm and year-round pollution. Year-round pollution is a day-to-day experience, while short-term refers to spikes of anywhere between 24 and 72 hours.

“Air pollution is a serious health threat,” the ALA said. “It can trigger asthma attacks, harm lung development in children and even be deadly. Breathing ozone irritates the lungs, resulting in inflammation—as if there were a bad sunburn within the lungs.”

Charleston’s air quality saw some improvements, according to the report, some of the best ever measured in the city, in fact, according to ALA’s S.C. senior director of advocacy Ashley Lyerly. Overall,

“

What we have now is this crushing trifecta of increased cargo volumes, the dysfunction of the roads themselves — they’re in need of billions of dollars in improvements — and just additional automobile traffic and population growth.” —Dana Beach

the Lowcountry saw fewer unhealthy days for ozone pollution, and improved significantly in year-round particle pollution.

But Charleston also saw considerably more unhealthy days in terms of short-term spikes in particle pollution. This led to the Holy City being entirely left off the ALA’s “Cleanest Cities” list for 2022.

“Previously, Charleston had ranked among the cleanest in the nation, but it didn’t make that cut this time period,” Lyerly said. She explained that with Charleston acting as a commerce hub, and the uptick in shipping during the onset of the pandemic in 2020, idling container ships and home delivery of goods may have driven the steep rise in short-term

particle pollution.

But, S.C. Ports Authority corporate communications manager Liz Cumley said it’s important to note it can’t all be attributed to ships.

Some of the change in air quality can also be attributed to climate change, Lyerly said. Higher temperatures over longer periods of time and more frequent stagnation events play a significant role in making the number of unhealthy ozone days higher than it would otherwise be. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2019 and 2020 ranked among the top three warmest years on CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

South Carolina cracked the top five on a list of U.S. states with the highest percentage of cyclist deaths by population in data gathered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The research, conducted by Dolman Law Group, a personal injury and civil trial law firm, shows 49% higher deaths per 100,000 people in S.C. than the national average. The state has 3.5 deaths per 100,000, suffering a total of 178 bicyclist fatalities between 2010 and 2019. The average number of bicyclist deaths has risen each year.

Charleston is at the heart of the state’s cyclist danger, with 42% of all statewide biking fatalities in 2021 happening in Charleston County, a small bump from the 37% in 2020, according to a February Op-Ed in The Post and Courier. —Skyler Baldwin

Historic Charleston Foundation observes 75 years of protecting city buildings

By Herb Frazier The Historic Charleston Foundation (HCF) is celebrating three quarters of a century advocating for the city’s preservation while evolving to meet current needs for affordable housing, efficient transportation and balanced development.

The year-long observance includes the foundation’s Charter Day awards program at 6 p.m., Thursday, at First Baptist Church on Church St. At that event, HCF will honor the skilled craftsmen who preserve the Holy Hastie City’s historic structures. Winslow Hastie, HCF’s president and CEO, said Charleston owes its success as a tourism destination and a popular place to live to its preservation values. One of the HCF’s most significant legacies, he said, is the merging of preservation thinking into urban planning.

The foundation was the outcome of a preservation study by the Carolina Art Association, now the Gibbes Museum of Art. It was formally launched in 1947 as an educational, nonprofit preservation organization. Frances R. Edmunds was named as its first director. HCF’s preservation mindset, Hastie explained, emerged in the post-World War II period when the foundation looked at the city broadly and not on just individual structures.

“When we see complicated issues around new buildings and how to fit them into the historic district or zoning issues or more recently sea-level rise and affordable housing, we bring experts from outside the community who have done successful things elsewhere,” he said. “We bring that

Downtown Charleston today would be a dramatically different place without the Historic Charleston Foundation thought leadership to Charleston … (and it) has had a meaningful impact on the city to influence public policy.”

A decade after its founding, the HCF established a first-in-the-nation revolving fund to rehabilitate the Ansonborough neighborhood. It purchased a property, stabilized it, sold to a preservation-minded buyer, then reinvested the proceeds to buy another house in the neighborhood.

That preservation initiative continues to serve as a national model. It offered plenty of positives, but, Hastie added, there were negatives. “It was very much, in some cases, the forced displacement of African American residents in Ansonborough,” he said. “There was a gentrifying element to it.

As an alternative to wholesale demolition, it was better. But there were some social and cultural consequences at that time we

weren’t very sensitive to.”

The HCF has since expanded its appreciation for and the protection of African American settlement communities in areas surrounding the city, such as Red Top to the south of the city, Cainhoy to the north and the James Island communities of Beefield and Sol Legare and its Mosquito Beach.

House museum ownership and management were not part of HCF’s original mission, but the organization has continued to evolve. In 1955 the foundation purchased the Nathaniel Russell House at 51 Meeting St. to save it from being chopped up into apartments. The foundation also owns the Aiken-Rhett House at 48 Elizabeth St. Both properties are open for daily tours.

By 1976, HCF had saved a six-block neighborhood, including 60 buildings, several of which were donated by supporters. As of today, the HCF has nearly 400 properties under protective easements and covenants.

While the HCF is a national preservation leader, Hastie said the foundation avoids comparing its success with that of other cities, such as Savannah, where organizations like the Historic Savannah Foundation have helped keep Charleston’s sister city both preserved and vibrant.

The HCF founders, he said, recognized even 75 years ago Charleston is not a theme park frozen in time: “Preservation used to be very building focused, and it is (now) also about people, culture and neighborhoods,” Hastie added.

“They were smart enough back then even when there was a lot less development pressure to understand that cities that do not evolve and change will ultimately die.”

Miller faces ethics violation after missing deadline

News 04.27.2022

By Skyler Baldwin

Charleston County Register of Deeds Michael Miller missed the first quarter ethics report filing deadline April 10 after filing an initial report. The missed deadline itself constitutes an ethics violation.

Miller is expected to face a fine and a written reprimand from the county Ethics Committee, adding to a growing list of frustrations with the embattled office. According to Charleston County Democratic Party Chair Greg Perry, Miller, along with every other Democratic elected official in the county, was reminded of the deadline and warned that missing it would

result in an ethics violation.

The register of deeds office has become synonymous with document backlogs, court oversight and lawsuits since Miller’s election in 2018. He has faced ongoing criticism and complaints about the unprecedented delays in recording deeds, the principle role of Miller the office.

Miller faces a Democratic primary challenge from Karen Hollings, widow of the late nephew of U.S.

Sen. Ernest “Fritz” Hollings and a former employee at the register office who worked under Miller and his predecessors.

“I’m running to restore the integrity of the Register of Deeds office,” she told the City Paper. “The Charleston County Register of Deeds office was regarded as the gold standard of register of deeds offices statewide.

We’ve lost that in the last few years. We need to reinstate efficiency and competency. We need to create methodologies to process the work in a timely and legal manner.”

On the other side of the aisle, Bob McIntyre has filed for the office as well. As the only Republican to file, he has a free ride to the nomination.

Blotter of the Week

A downtown woman reported to the police she believed she had been bugged. Normally, calls like these end with the person being a little silly, but this time, it was legit — someone planted an Apple Air Tag GPS tracker on her person without her knowing.

Points for honesty Police found a “known vagrant” laying on the ground during a routine downtown patrol. When asked how much he had had to drink, the man laughed and replied “a lot.”

Can’t breathe on an empty stomach A downtown man reportedly went back and forth on giving a breathalyzer sample after being pulled over because he “had nothing to eat all day.” With that sort of logic, we wouldn’t think you’d even need the test.

The worst timing imaginable Police confiscated 17 grams of presumed marijuana found in a West Ashley vehicle after a routine traffic stop. Rotten luck on a normal day, but right before April 20? That’s a tragedy.

LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT “

...I feel like this is my goal, this is my purpose, this is what I’m here for. So, I put everything into it and I’m building this relationship with the community.

”

Tia Clark, Owner

C

harleston native Tia Clark, who grew up in downtown Charleston, never planned to start her own crabbing business, but after she discovered a passion for the ocean and crabbing in 2017, her venture took off.

Thanks to a Facebook page created by a friend, Clark started to receive inquiries about teaching people to crab. In July 2018, she put her business on Airbnb experiences. “By November 2018, Airbnb was flying me out to San Francisco because they told me I had one of the top four experiences in their worldwide market,” she said. “It was a whirlwind.”

Now she gets more bookings on her own website, CasualCrabbingWithTia. com. And interest in her business is only growing. In the last nine months, her story has been covered by People and Forbes magazines, in addition to being included in a video by Southwest Airlines.

Clark’s land-based crabbing excursions last about two and a half hours, during which she teaches people multiple ways to crab and how to throw a cast net. Crabbing With Tia books outings for visitors, locals, corporate groups and school students.

But to Clark, the venture is more than just a business. It’s a way to connect with the community, educate people about South Carolina’s landscape, and implement sustainable fishing and crabbing practices. Clark also works with the state Department of Natural Resources and South Carolina Oyster Recycling and Enhancement to help rebuild crab and oyster habitats.

“It’s really transformed now,” she said. “At first I was nervous about what I was doing, but now I feel like this is my goal, this is my purpose, this is what I’m here for. So, I put everything into it and I’m building this relationship with the community.”

Parker diverting city council time debating mask and vaccine mandates, some members say

By Skyler Baldwin When she ran for Charleston City Council last year, Caroline Parker promised to “fight for flooding mitigation, traffic reduction, environmental protection, small business support, the preservation of our city’s history and responsible management of our city’s finances.” But since that time, a considerable portion of the City Council meetings she has attended have featured her spending anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of council time rehashing questions, answers and opinions about Mayor Tecklenberg’s mask and vaccine mandates.

During meetings, Parker has consistently spent time with “Council Communications,” a section of the meeting dedicated to nonbinding conversation between council members that can be requested by a member of council. Parker’s requested communications questioned the legality of a mask and vaccine mandate levied on city employees, and the process by which the decision was made without a vote from council members.

Parker’s challenge followed her refusal to

don a face mask at a late January meeting, resulting in her attending the remainder of the meeting virtually, and future meetings behind a plexiglass barrier.

“I’m really trying to move forward, and I’m the one that kind of went backwards by continuing to bring it to council, but I was really just trying to keep it on everyone’s mind because it wasn’t over,” Parker said. “We need to be able to navigate the future better.

I know some council members agree, and I Parker know others don’t.”

Parker’s assertion is that the mayor has too much power and his authority to enact the mandate was legally questionable—this despite a ruling from a federal judge in October 2021 in the mayor’s favor, and responses from the city’s legal team.

“You requested, verbally and in writing, legal opinion from our staff,” Tecklenburg told Parker at a Feb. 8 meeting. “They pro-

vided that. I’ve seen a copy of it. I assume you’ve seen a copy of it. It seems very clear to me.”

But Parker doesn’t see it that way.

“We continue to bring up one judge’s opinion, but that’s not the end-all be-all,” Parker told the City Paper.

Parker points to a bill awaiting signature from S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster that would effectively ban cities from levying mask and vaccine mandates on city employees as one example of the not-soclear aspects of the discussion.

“As I understand it, she’s been making two separate but related points,” said councilman Ross Appel. “The first is that the current city vaccine mandate is somehow illegal or improper … The second point is a more interesting debate that has some support from council. How much power do we want to give the mayor of the City of Charleston?

The vaccine mandate wasn’t something we ever voted on … and Parker’s argument is next time, when COVID-27 hits — God forbid — council should discuss and vote on a measure like this.”

But, Appel contended, this is nothing

new for Charleston. The city has always been a strong-mayor government, a legal term under state law, he explained. Under the “strong mayor” form, political power is concentrated in the mayor, which means that other members of the elected body relinquish at least some of their policymaking power and influence.

“The mayor is the city’s chief executive, meaning that he’s responsible for executing city laws and managing the city’s properties and workforce,” said city attorney Julia Copeland. “Mayor Tecklenburg required masks in city buildings and, eventually, vaccines for city employees ... to protect the health and safety of both employees and residents and, when challenged, were found to have been legal and proper in the court of law.”

But regardless of the legality of the decision, Parker said she thinks there’s a better way to handle times like these.

“We’re two years in, and at some point we have to accept that things have to change and evolve,” Parker said. “That’s where the process of it all keeps popping up in my head — we can’t just decide on a whim.’ ”

record. And although cleanup of ozone-generating pollutants has helped reduce ozone concentrations, the warming, put simply, is undercutting that progress.

Emissions from vehicles play perhaps the most prominent role, according to Dana Beach. Though now retired, as the founder and former director of the S.C. Coastal Conservation League, Beach has remained involved in local pollution issues.

“It’s caught up with us — the level of sprawl, the dysfunctional traffic congestion and particularly these container trucks,” Beach said. “It’s really overwhelming the improvements that have been made.”

Beach points to steady improvements made by industrial complexes across the nation, leaving South Carolina’s port behind on efficiency and pollution mitigation.

“What we have now is this crushing trifecta of increased cargo volumes, the dysfunction of the roads themselves — they’re in need of billions of dollars in improvements — and just additional automobile traffic and population growth.” Beach said. “All that adds up to … what I would bet any amount of money is by far the No. 1 source of toxic air pollution, dwarfing anything else. I can’t imagine what else would come close.”

Charleston’s Climate Action Plan, adopted in May 2021, outlines a plan to transition the city’s fleet of vehicles to new, electric models — a move that aims to help clean up the air in the Lowcountry.

“The transition to net-zero-emission vehicles would have a clear impact on air pollution in Charleston and broadly, if we see similar changes nationally,” Lyerly said.

“Charleston has all kinds of initiatives aimed at addressing climate and environmental issues generally,” Charleston City

Council member Ross Appel said. “I think that shows we’ve come a long way in the last decade — there’s a growing sense that climate change is real. We’re starting to see it around us, and people are taking steps in various ways to address that.”

Charleston began the early stages of transitioning the city’s vehicle fleet to electric in March 2021, seeking grants to purchase two electric garbage trucks. Later, support for shore power to reduce pollution from idling cruise and cargo ships, and electric vehicles for use at ports was written in the city’s Climate Action Plan.

But the big transgressors, like the idling 50,000+ horsepower engines of cargo and cruise ships, remain out of reach for city leaders. Switching those ships to shore power remains an unresolved elephant in the room.

“You start getting into major federal and state preemption issues when you start

imposing municipal regulations on interstate and international commerce,” Appel said. “There’s so many different cross-jurisdictional issues that make a lot of things very complicated.”

“It doesn’t have to be that way, and sometimes it feels like S.C. is running the government operating system equivalent of Windows 95,” he added. “We need to be able to work a little more efficiently and divide the responsibilities so there aren’t these overlapping jurisdictions and authorities.”

Beach’s criticism of Ports director Bill Stern was more blunt: “His unwillingness to solve these problems that are imminently solvable by rational people has led us to this point.”

S.C. Ports declined to comment on pollution from ships, but did issue a statement to the City Paper citing other initiatives, including periodic air emission inventories, a planned increase in rail service from ports, and a grant to deploy electric trucks.

Restart predictive wastewater disease testing now T

Views 04.27.2022

he reason for having predictive tools is to use them to predict. Unless, it seems, you’re involved in wastewater management in Charleston County.

As reporter Skyler Baldwin detailed last week, monitoring wastewater for early evidence of diseases is considered to be a smart early predictor for determining when illnesses will impact people. So as home tests for COVID-19 have usurped governments’ official test results and their ability to provide good data on the prevalence and virulence of the disease, you’d think local governments would rely on the viral equivalent of a canary in a coal mine — proactively testing of wastewater on a regular basis.

“Having such data would be invaluable to being able to have an early warning for future outbreaks, including BA.2” for COVID, said Dr. Michael Sweat, director of MUSC’s Center for Global Health.

But Charleston Water System’s Plum Island treatment facility apparently has dropped its COVID wastewater testing program after being told by an official from the state Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) that samples “were no longer needed.” DHEC denied its officials issued instructions to halt testing, but when presented with documentation, admitted “a miscommunication with this facility may have occurred that led to the discontinuation in sample collection.”

This government finger-pointing and lack of clarity is enough to make you want to rip out your hair.

What’s worse is how well wastewater disease testing actually seems to be working around the nation to keep health officials

10

alert to the spread and intensity of COVID-19 and other diseases. If you’re in the disease-monitoring business, there are basically three ways to try to figure out what’s going on: Proactive testing, such as predictive wastewater disease testing for early monitoring of what’s occurring in geographic areas all over the country. The testing provides data before people might be infected, which helps alert communities about how they’ll be impacted. In February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added wastewater data to its COVID-19 data tracker.

Case counts, based on per-person tests. These tests give a snapshot of what’s happening in real time with a disease. But you need enough verifiable reporting to draw conclusions about what’s going on in an area. Case count reporting has been hurt by increases in home testing.

Hospitalization rates. These are lagging indicators because they show what the disease is doing after people get very sick. Using this method to predict is like offering someone fresh-baked brownies, not knowing the children have already eaten them. It’s too late.

Regardless of why wastewater disease testing has stopped in Charleston County, it needs to get back on track so local scientists have the data as soon as practicable to keep the public informed. Not only should this help us avoid future COVID breakouts, but future pandemics.

Get gun violence under control

By Andy Brack

Unfortunately on March 31, a 12-year-old Greenville boy wasn’t as lucky after being killed in a school shooting. Another 12-yearold is suspected. In recent days, North Charleston police found a gun and more than 30 rounds of ammunition in a student’s bag at his high school.

If there ever were signs from heaven that the Palmetto State has a gun problem and needs to deal with it, these are the newest red flags. Our leaders need to deal with it instead of continuing to kick the can down the road.

“The shootings this weekend were a raw jolt, Rather than curb the yet at the same time not surprising,” said Meghan enthusiasm for guns, Alexander, founder of Arm-in-Arm, a bipartisan South Carolina advocacy group filled with gun owners lawmakers boost who want to reduce gun violence. “There are many their presence in daily firearm incidents that do not make news.”

The group got started in 2015, shortly after the public and throw gas massacre of nine worshippers at Emanuel AME on the fire.

Church in Charleston, including the church’s pastor, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney.

Since that deadly shooting, we’ve waited seven sessions for the Republican-led General Assembly to close a loophole to honor their slain colleague by making it harder for nuts to get guns. But they have dilly-dallied, failing year after year to take deadly gun violence seriously.

Rather than pass background checks, tougher laws against domestic violence or a law against hate crimes (we’re only one of two states without this), the General Assembly actually passed a measure that allows open carry of guns. Rather than curb the enthusiasm for guns, lawmakers boost their presence in public and throw gas on the fire.

“Over these last seven years since the mass shooting at Mother Emanuel, we’ve had ample opportunity to make South Carolina safer,” said Alexander, a Mount Pleasant resident. “But our legislature has not only NOT prioritized this, but has taken several steps to loosen existing gun safety measures. Any gun safety precautions are thwarted by our legislature.”

According to data compiled by Arm-in-Arm, gun violence is getting worse. Firearm homicide deaths in South Carolina went up 136% in 22 years — from 223 deaths in 1999 to 528 in 2020.

South Carolina also has ranked fourth to eighth highest nationally in the rate of firearm homicide deaths since 2001.

Bottom line: We’ve got a problem that’s getting worse and no one in the General Assembly is doing anything about it.

t started, as most searches do, by looking toward the end. “COVID taught us all just how precious and fragile time with family is,” reflected 34-year-old Charlestonian video editor/director/cinematographer Gavin Shelton.

“Someday I’m going to get a call from my aunt saying that my uncle’s gone, that his time has come. And when his time comes, I know people are going to want to celebrate him.”

Thus began Shelton’s pandemic project: a curation of the life and legacy of his uncle, underground comix icon Gilbert Shelton.

Gilbert Shelton, now in his 80s, may be best known for his stoner comic The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Now seeing renewed awareness with the animated adaptation, Freak Brothers is currently streaming on Tubi. But that barely scratches the surface of what Shelton’s nephew’s search has uncovered over the past two years.

Uncle Gilbert has been a presence throughout Gavin’s life, with the nephew bearing his uncle’s first name as a middle name. But it wasn’t until Gavin at age 6 traveled with his family to Paris for New Year’s Eve that he would first meet his dad’s brother, the famed underground artist. There, Gavin saw his uncle in his element,

ringing in the new year alongside famed cartoonist Robert Crumb. While Gavin would later grow to realize the importance of the artists he met that night, his enduring memory is of his uncle’s invitation to toss firecrackers from a side street together.

The life of Gilbert

Over the course of his search through the years, Gavin has uncovered many facets to his uncle. There’s the musician who fronted the Gilbert Shelton Ensemble and befriended the singer/songwriter who would become Janis Joplin. The scholar who had multiple college careers studying history and art. The graphic designer who created psychedelic posters for Austin, Texas, music venue Vulcan Gas Company.

The graffiti artist, whose “Poddy Rules the

World” campaign took on a life of its own.

The tourist who left for a yearlong trip to Paris and decided to just never return. But his biggest impact was as a prolific creator and publisher of underground comix.

Gilbert Shelton first tasted the power of social commentary through satire and cartoons during his time at the University of Texas, where he took the reins of the student humor magazine, The Texas Ranger.

He further honed this power by developing the superhero parody comic strip “Wonder Wart-Hog” for humor magazines that included Bacchanal, Charlatan and Help! and publishing a collection of Frank Stack’s sacreligious comic strip “Adventures of Jesus.” So when the pursuit of poster design work brought Gilbert to San Francisco wound up a bust, using his printing press to instead publish comics was an obvious

in older comics,” store owner Michael Campbell explained. “That led to the distribution model for modern comic book stores from the ’80s to today.”

These underground comix and their DIY attitude, along with the accessibility created by the direct market they sparked, would also inspire generations of alternative comics cartoonists and publishers.

Piskor’s 2021 Fantagraphics published comic book Red Room wears its underground influences proudly. “These cartoonists, including Shelton, represent my biggest influences in comics,” Piskor said. “And I discovered them at a very early age.

“My library had a book called Comix by Les Daniels that reprinted some of their works, and it all blew my mind. From there, I discovered that comic shops existed, and that sent me off to the races as I developed a deeper understanding of the culture. It all begins with the underground guys for me, though.”

infrequent over the years. “Gilbert’s a quiet, super-smart guy,” Gavin said. “He talks in these succinct, distilled nuggets you just want to unpack.”

Though he wants to turn as much of the public on to his uncle’s work as possible, Gavin’s search is also, ultimately personal; an attempt to better understand and connect with the uncle who made a profound impression despite only sporadic in-person visits over the years. “There may be others better equipped, others more knowledgeable, to tell Gilbert’s story,” he admitted.

“But I’m in a unique position: I’m family. He inspired me, had an influence. He taught me that if you pursue your art, or whatever you love, you can have a beautiful life.”

direction. And as luck would have it, 1960s San Francisco was the right place and right time for a comic book revolution.

During the 1950s, comic books were put under the microscope of the U.S. Congress and made scapegoats for juvenile delinquency, thanks in part to psychiatrist Fredric Wertham’s anti-comic treatise Seduction of the Innocent. This scrutiny led to the formation of the Comics Code Authority (CCA), which restricted the subject matter for comic books and abolished taboo topics ranging from sex, drugs and violence to zombies, horror and the occult.

For Shelton and other San Francisco cartoonists like Crumb and Manuel “Spain’’ Rodriguez, this sort of censorship was the exact thing to rebel against.

While mainstream publishers culled or sanitized their output, Shelton and his cohorts spun up their own outfits to create comics that were definitely not CCA-approved. These comics, often sold at head shops alongside drug paraphernalia, became known as “underground comix” — “underground” in terms of alternative guerilla distribution, comics with an “X” for X-rated, “not-for-kids” content.

“Shelton and the underground comix crew represented the comics-reading public that cut their teeth on comics before the Code was in effect,” said Ed Piskor,

As admin of the Gilbert Shelton Underground Comix group on Facebook, Gavin has been in touch with many fans who share Piskor’s rabid appreciation of Gavin’s uncle. Several have even gifted him their own Gilbert memorabilia — from Freak Brothers sculptures to issues of The Texas Ranger and Rip Off Press comics — in the name of his search. “I’ve been extremely lucky,” Gavin Gavin Shelton has gone down the acknowledged. “People have donated pricerabbit hole in search of the work, life less artifacts to the effort, just because they and times of his underground uncle know how much I’ll value them.”

Burlesque has been enjoying a modern renaissance over the last decade. And as burlesque shows have become staples of nearly every major city, the Music Farm is presenting a brand new performance that just may become a Charleston essential: Hush Hush Burlesque, produced by venerated burlesque performer Evelyn Devere.

It’s been almost a decade since Devere last produced a Holy City burlesque show. Her Ménage à Trois Burlesque and Carnivalesque shows, which had formerly been presented at various Charleston locations including The Tin Roof, The Royal American and Threshold Repertory Theatre, ended in 2014. She then started running her touring show, Wham Bam Glitter Glam, which toured all over the East Coast. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought an abrupt end to her ability to perform live. Then she got a call.

“Charles Carmody, who now is managing the local programming for Music Farm, contacted me out of the blue,” Devere said. The two knew each other from Carmody’s days at Redux, where Devere had booked a few burlesque shows.

Music Farm’s recent renovations and reopening has Carmody looking to bring more local arts to the venue.

Building an entire production — costumes, casting, music, choreography and promotion — can burn anyone out. Carmody’s help in these aspects is what Devere said is making Hush Hush worthwhile.

“Honestly, this is the only way that I would be putting on a new show,” she said.

“To have that kind of venue support behind me — having the resources of the Music Farm to help with things like promotion has made bringing Hush Hush Burlesque to life much easier.”

For Hush Hush, Devere is looking to bring some of the best regional burlesque performers to Charleston. The May 4 show will feature Jack N Tha Cox from Savannah, Puppie Buffé from Wilmington and Mecca

Performers (from top) Puppie Buffé, Jack N Tha Cox, Mecca Mwah and Evelyn Devere (right) Mwah from Charlotte, with Devere herself also performing.

Each of the artists will perform two sets, which are typically three-five minutes long.

Simplicity of concept is a big part of Devere’s burlesque philosophy.

Each artist is encouraged to perform whatever they like without needing to adhere to any particular unifying theme. “There are a lot of burlesque shows that are themed shows, which can be really specific or really broad,” she said. “And I really prefer to showcase a wide variety of acts and artists. I always tell everyone to just do whatever act you feel best about right now and you’re excited about.

I think that just creates a really good quality show where everyone is showcasing what makes them special and entertaining to watch.”

Puppie Buffé has been performing burlesque since 2008. She’s looking forward to bringing her Elvira and Alice Cooperinspired acts to the Music Farm. “I believe this will be my first time performing in Charleston and I’m thrilled!” said Buffé.

“I’m sure the Hush Hush revue will be a huge success and I’m excited to show Charleston that burlesque can be more than feather boas and tassel twirling.”

“Burlesque is about being your own superhero,” said Jack N Tha Cox, who also works as a nude figure model for an art college. “Every burlesque show is a chance to make history.

We’re performers at the top of our game doing what we love and showing some skin.”

The burlesque art form has truly taken off in the last decade, though opinions differ nowadays as to what actually constitutes burlesque. Shows can be anything from traditional strip teases to humorous send-ups of movies like Star Wars and Ghostbusters.

“I really like to present a full spectrum of what is available,” said Devere. “From the classic-jazz, sparkles, lots of tease — that kind of stuff — to stuff that’s more humorous and silly. There’s gonna be something for everyone.”

Devere says she’s also excited to bring some adult entertainment to the heart of

Hush Hush is also presented by Guilty Pleasures, 2021 Best of Charleston winner for favorite local adult toy store. The store will be providing some neat treats for a raffle to be given away during the show.

Devere said she hopes Hush Hush will become an ongoing, monthly Music Farm feature. She’s also excited to expose a host of burlesque performers from other regions to Charleston audiences. Pun very much intended.

Rolling with the punches

Jack’s Cosmic Dogs changes hands after 22 years Mount Pleasant’s iconic hot dog joint has changed hands. After 22 years, Jack’s Cosmic Dogs is now owned by local businessman Jarrett Hodson.

Owned and operated by Jack Hurley and his family since 2000, Jack’s held a reputation for wildly creative dogs and a sci-fi atmosphere. “He’s got ideas that are just great, and I just needed the energy,” Hurley said of Hodson.

“It’s time for me to go to Ireland for a month or something.”

“I bought Jack’s because I love Jack’s,” Hodson said. “And I want it to stay Jack’s.” —Michael Pham

Spice up your summer party with a creatively crafted Berry Berry Summer Punch from MOMO bar manager Ricky Dunn Dunn says it’s actually important to not overdo it.

“Generally with a punch, you want to keep it light,” he said. “You want to go with some rum, gin, vodka or tequila. Bourbon punches aren’t bad, but they’re not for everybody. Vodka is just a nice, easy one to start with.”

Of course, punches don’t necessarily need alcohol. For the teetotalers among us, Southern Living put together a guide to refreshing non-alcoholic punches to serve at those small family gatherings or church functions. They include cherry limeade fizzes with lemon-lime soda, lime juice and grenadine; sparkling punches with frozen pink lemonade or cranberry juice and club soda. Even something as simple as a lemonade iced tea can punch up the party.

City Paper senior editor Chris Dixon grew up on these sorts of nonalcoholic punches at reunions and after-church buffets from southern Georgia to South Carolina. “My grandmother had a very specific recipe,” he said. “I remember her stirring a big bowl of Hawaiian Punch, ginger ale and pineapple juice. Then she sometimes added green food coloring to make it exotic. It was actually delicious. I don’t remember my Southern Baptist relatives spiking the actual bowl, though I’m sure a few hip flasks did the job

for individual Dixie Cups. Just because the punch was nonalcoholic, doesn’t mean the people were.”

“There’s so much more to it and so many different ways to make a punch actually taste good,” Dunn said. One of his suggested methods involves infusing a variety of flavored alcohols to the mix, like the jalapeño-infused tequila MOMO uses in-house for spicy margaritas, or fruit-infused liquor like 6 O’Clock Damson or Sloe Gin. These give a natural, rich tartness to the punch.

If you’re not using an infused or flavored liqueur, Dunn said, start with something really flavor-concentrated. “One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was, ‘The first thing that you put into a recipe is the last thing you’ll taste,’” he said, suggesting a flavor-forward fruit purée to give the proper backend.

Shrubs and bitters are good, too, he added. “They add another level of flavor and depth, especially when it comes to smells.

Smell is very, very important.”

You can’t talk about punch in Charleston without mentioning the longstanding fanfavorite punches at The Royal American on Morrison Drive and their newly-opened Bounty Bar on Folly Beach. The bars carry three different punches: a bourbon punch, CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

If you’ve seen (or like me, binged) all of Gilmore Girls, there’s the recurring theme of Miss Patty’s “Founder’s Day Punch,” a concoction that packs a wallop for the citizens of Stars Hollow.

Served at events from bacchanalia-fired frat and sorority parties to sedate family reunions, punches are classically served in a bowl with a ladle for dredging libations, ice and fruity bits into plastic red Solo stadium cups.

“An actual punch is all about the community and getting together and drinking at the same time,” MOMO bar manager Ricky Dunn said.

Dunn knows a thing or two about punches, as the concoctions have always been in his plans since opening and curating the cocktail program at MOMO. On the second floor Dunn of MOMO, otherwise known as Dunn’s “beverage lab,” the space is typically used more for fine-dining experiences and crazier cocktail options like the Caprese Martini, made with Burratawashed Tito’s Vodka, tomato-white balsamic shrub, basil and an olive oil and salt rim.

But it’s also here that Dunn plans his punch bowls for private events from bridal showers to birthday parties. A future happy hour punch bowl sits in the back of his mind, too, for those who want to enjoy a waterfront view on the patio with a handful of friends.

Traditionally, spiked punch bowls, especially the lowbrow versions found at college parties, are a mashup of vodka or Mad Dog 20/20 (or in my experience, some Four Loko) stirred in with a few quarts of fruit juice or Sprite.

To create something a bit more sophisticated, use quality juices, fresh fruits like blueberries or strawberries, or a fruit purée to really pack a sweet and sour flavor. Throw in some mint leaves to further brighten the bowl with flair and flavor. Alcohol-wise,

A Victorian-style den and The Rum Room in the back of Bonny’s Hideaway

By Michael Pham During the holidays in December, the team behind Prohibition, Jim McCourt and James Walsh, opened Sippin’ Santa, a Christmas-themed pop-up bar with holiday tiki drinks in the old King Street Public House location at 549 King St. Since then, the Irish-born duo have been brewing another concept at the Public House location. Their new public house, Bonny’s Hideaway will be centered around Anne Bonny, the iconic female pirate whose swashbuckling life carried her from Ireland to the Caribbean and, perhaps, Charleston.

“For a while, Jim and I have always talked about doing an authentic Irishthemed bar,” Walsh said. “But we were waiting for the right time.”

Here’s a rundown of the legend of the infamous swashbuckling damsel: Bonny was said to have been born around 1698.

As a young lass, she married a Brit named James Bonny, but bailed on her marriage and joined the pirate life after falling in love with Calico Jack Rackham in Nassau.

It was rare for women to be found aboard pirate ships, as it was considered bad luck.

However, Rackham also welcomed aboard another pirate named Mary Read. Together, Bonny, Rackham and Read plundered the Caribbean until being captured in 1720.

Bonny and Read’s executions were averted due to their pregnancies. Read died of fever several months later in prison, but Bonny did not, and her fate is unclear.

One account says Bonny fled back to Charleston, where her father owned a plantation, and died 60 years later in 1782.

Ghost City Tours in Charleston suggests she may have some connection to the Pink House on Chalmers Street. A YouTube content creator, The Debunk Files, however, asserts Bonny never came to Charleston and died in Jamaica. Regardless of the murky truth, Walsh and McCourt called Bonny an incredibly compelling figure.

“Part of our idea was to celebrate the fact that this is a figure of female empowerment,” Walsh said. “What she did and put up with as a woman in that time.”

Walsh and McCourt said they also chose the theme to change the American perspective of what an Irish pub actually is: “Sippin’ on whiskey with corned beef and cabbage,” isn’t even authentic Irish according to Walsh; It’s American-Irish.

Focusing the concept on Bonny’s life was a no-brainer, as it gave the Prohibition team room to explore flavors of three different cultures: Ireland, the Caribbean and Charleston.

McCourt stirred up an extensive 25-drink cocktail menu. “I tried to take Anne Bonny’s journey from Ireland to Charleston, to the Caribbean,” McCourt said. “So there’s a lot of tropical drinks and Irish ingredients.”

The cocktail menu will be split into two sections, said McCourt. “One side is her wild ride in the Caribbean, so it’s a CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

little more exciting and adventurous, like a pirate. Then the other half of the menu is going to be kind of at home here in Charleston — sort of a traditional relaxed.”

Among the more adventurous libations is the Dublin Bay Fog Cutter, made with Gunpowder gin, dark rum, lime, orange juice and almond. Another is McCourt’s signature Irish coffee, a twist on an Irish coffee made with Irish whiskey, rum, coffee, demerara sugar and butter-salted popcorn powder.

Food-wise, the kitchen, helmed by Prohibition chef Greg Garrison, is taking the same approach as the cocktail menu — spanning the Atlantic with Irish, Caribbean and Charleston flavors.

“What’s being executed next door at Prohibition is more of a nod to the Southern cuisines,” Walsh said. “For Bonny’s Hideaway, we’re trying to just dial in with the Irish influences, without making it too obvious, because everybody knows shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash. We’re trying to do something much more adventurous and then also pepper in a little bit of Gullah Geechee and ingredients that would have been from that time period as well.”

Like its food and cocktail menus, the interior of Bonny’s Hideaway is riddled with maritime influences, with snugs and dividers, quotes painted on the walls, decor from the 18th century and even “Bonny’s

William Cauthen

Bonny’s Hideaway’s cocktails, like the Mai-gherita, follows the adventurous life of infamous female pirate Anne Bonny Bed,” an area with drapery and chairs, much like a spot she might have slept. The Hideaway will also hold little pockets of couches, pillows and loveseats to sit back and “hide away.” In back, the cozy Rum Room holds a rum-barrel lined wall, giving the sense you’re in the hold of a ship.

“One thing I would emphasize is that this is not a pirate bar,” Walsh said. “It’s not an Irish pub, either. It’s the nuances of taking that story and translating it into a subtle story of Bonny’s journey and her adventure, so that translates with the connection between Ireland, Charleston and Caribbean.”

Bonny’s Hideaway is located on 549 King St. and open 4-close, Wed.-Sun.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): I recommend you adopt a limitation that will enable you to claim more freedom. For example, you could de-emphasize your involvement with a lukewarm dream so as to liberate time and energy for a passionate dream. Or you could minimize your fascination with a certain negative emotion to make more room for invigorating emotions. Any other ideas? You’re in a phase when increased discipline and discernment can be liberating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it,” wrote author and activist Gloria Steinem. “Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born,” she added.

Those are excellent meditations for you to focus on right now, Taurus. The time is ripe for you to envision in detail a specific new situation or adventure you would like to manifest in the future. It’s also a perfect moment to picture a truer, deeper, more robust version of your beautiful self — an expanded version of your identity that you hope to give birth to in the coming months.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author William Butler Yeats won a Nobel Prize for Literature, so I conclude he had considerable talent and wisdom.

But he cultivated interests and ideas that were at variance with most other literary figures. For example, he believed fairies are real. He was a student of occult magic. Two of his books were dictated by spirits during séances. In the coming weeks, I invite you to draw inspiration from his versatile repertoire.

Welcome knowledge in whatever unusual ways it might materialize. Be eager to accept power and inspiration wherever they are offered. For inspiration, here’s a Yeats’ quote: “I have observed dreams and visions very carefully, and am certain that the imagination has some way of lighting on the truth that reason has not, and that its commandments, delivered when the body is still and the reason silent, are the most binding we can ever know.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You know what’s always good for your well-being? Helping people who are less fortunate and less privileged than you.

To enhance your health, you can also fight bigotry, campaign against the abuse of animals, and remedy damage to the natural world. If you carry out tasks like these in the coming weeks, you will boost your vigor and vitality even more than usual. You may be amazed at the power of your compassion to generate selfish benefits for yourself. Working in behalf of others will uplift and nurture you. To further motivate you, here are inspirational words from designer Santiago Bautista: “I am in love with all the gifts of the world, and especially those destined for others to enjoy.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “There is a moment in each day that Satan cannot find,” wrote author and artist William Blake. Here’s how I interpret his poetic words: On a regular basis, you become relatively immune from the debilitating effects of melancholy, apathy, and fear. At those times, you are blessed with the freedom to be exactly who you want to be.

You can satisfy your soul completely. In the next six weeks, I suspect there will be more of these interludes for you than usual. How do you plan to use your exalted respite from Satan’s nagging?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poet Louis Little Coon Oliver (1904–1991) was a member of the indigenous Mvskoke people. He declared, “I do not waste what is wild.” That might mean something different for him than what it would mean for you, but it’s an excellent principle for you to work with in the coming weeks. You will have more access than usual to wildness, and you might be tempted to use it casually or recklessly. I hope that instead you harness all that raw mojo with precision and grace.

Amazingly, being disciplined in your use of the wildness will ensure that it enriches you to the max and generates potent transformative energy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suspect you will have the skills of an acrobat in the coming weeks — at least metaphorically. You will be psychically nimble. Your soul will have an exceptional ability to carry out spry maneuvers that keep you sane and sound.

Even more than usual, you will have the power to

By Rob Brezsny

adjust on the fly and adapt to shifting circumstances. People you know may marvel at your lithe flexibility. They will compliment you for your classiness under pressure. But I suspect the feats you accomplish may feel surprisingly easy and breezy!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A Tumblr blogger named Af-70 gives copious advice. From his wide selection of wise counsel, I have selected six tips that are right for your needs in the coming weeks.

Please study the following counsel. 1. “Real feelings don’t change fast.” 2. “Connect deeply or not at all.” 3. “Build a relationship in which you and your ally can be active in each other’s growth.” 4.

“Sometimes what you get is better than what you wanted.” 5. “Enjoy the space between where you are and where you are going.” 6. “Keep it real with me even if it makes us tremble and shimmer.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Consider putting a sign on your door or a message on your social media that says something like the following: “I’ve still got some healing to do. While I’m making progress, I’m only partway there. Am open to your suggestions, practical tips, and suggestions for cures I don’t know about.” Though the process is as yet incomplete, Sagittarius, I am proud of how diligent and resourceful you have been in seeking corrections and fixes. My only suggestions: 1. Be bold about seeking help and support. 2. Be aggressive about accessing your creativity. Expand your imagination about what might be therapeutic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To uncover what is hidden in my soul might take me a week or two,” my friend Allie told me. I told her she would be lucky if her brave and challenging exploration required such a short time. In contrast, some people I know have spent years trying to find what is buried and lost in their souls: me, for instance. There was one period of my life when I sought for over a decade to find and identify the missing treasure. According to my astrological analysis, you will soon enjoy multiple discoveries and revelations that will be more like Allie’s timeline than mine: relatively rapid and complete. Get ready! Be alert!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Thai cook named Nattapong Kaweenuntawong has a unique method for cooking the soup served in his Bangkok restaurant. At the end of each night, he saves the broth for use the next day. He has been doing that daily for 45 years. Theoretically, there may be molecules of noodles that were originally thrown in the pot back in 1977. In accordance with current astrological omens, I urge you to dream up a new tradition that borrows from his approach. What experience could you begin soon that would benefit you for years to come?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pisces-born Casimir Pulaski (1745–1779) was a Polish nobleman and military commander. As a young man, he fought unsuccessfully to free Poland from Russian domination. Driven into exile, he fled to America, arriving during the Revolutionary War with Britain in 1777.

General George Washington was impressed with Pulaski’s skills, making the immigrant a brigadier general. He distinguished himself as a leader of American forces, exhibiting brilliance and bravery.

For that excellence, he has been honored. But now, over two centuries later, his identity is in flux. DNA analyses of Pulaski’s remains suggest he was an intersex person with both male and female qualities.

(Read more: tinyurl.com/PulaskiSmithsonian.) I bring this to your attention, Pisces, because the coming months will be a favorable time to question and revise your understanding of your identity. May you be inspired by Pulaski’s evolving distinctiveness.

The musical possibilities are endless for nationally recognized Charleston Phish tribute band Runaway Gin

Runaway Gin to jam at Windjammer

By Kevin Murphy Wilson Over the last eight years, Charleston’s own Runaway Gin has cemented a national reputation as one of the most active and highly regarded Phish tribute projects in America.

The blossoming jam band will hold court at the Windjammer’s Liquid Aloha Beach Stage May 6 for an increasingly rare hometown gig.

Founder and frontman Andy Greenberg first landed in the Lowcountry back in 2005 to attend dental school at MUSC. “After years as a professional musician in New Orleans I decided to go to graduate school to establish a path that would make it easier for me to control my own scheduling and business,” Greenberg told City Paper. “Dentistry fit the bill.”

At this point, it’s hard to say precisely which of his careers is the side hustle, but music most definitely came first.

“I actually started playing classical piano when I was 5,’’ Greenberg said. “My earliest musical influences were the Beatles, the Beach Boys and Stevie Wonder.”

Greenberg said that his initial role in a

musical group — singing in his older brother’s band — came a bit later in middle school.

“My only real qualification was that I was bold and I loved singing,” he said. “I started playing guitar around that same time and playing in my high school jazz band really pushed me to learn guitar formally.”

As Greenberg came of age, there were, admittedly, growing pains.

“I was very influenced by ‘shred’ and metal guitarists like Slash, [Eddie] Van Halen and Jimmy Page,” he said. “I tried to get as many notes out in the shortest time possible. As I have developed as a musician, I find myself leaning more into finding simple melodies that appeal to the listener in beauty and connection rather than technical prowess.”

Encountering Phish figured heavily into his own musical evolution. Not only was he unapologetically attracted to the band’s overall aesthetic, but he credits the act’s classic 1989 album Junta with inspiring him to start listening and performing differently, too. Suddenly, he said, he wanted to “play more by ear and less by brain.”

“The melodies, rhythms and chord pro-

gressions definitely drew me in. I also really dug the absurdist and humorous lyrical sides of the band. I am very into surrealism and comedy. Phish seems to almost magically capture most of my own disparate musical influences — more so than any other modern band.”

Semkari’s new EP focuses on cohesiveness Local rapper Semkari delivers fun, fastpaced lo-fi hip-hop on his unprompted new EP, Bad Timing.

While his 2021 record Lover’s Nightmare was emotion-based, Bad Timing is all about energy. Semkari focuses on rapping cohesively in place of his more typical freestyle approach.

“I was testing myself with these songs because I went for rapping bars, not really singing and focusing on melodies,” Semkari said.

The compact new project is the result of collaborations with local rapper Hirow for beat production while Columbia-based rapper Jtrawwww contributes verses on the last song, “Villain.” —CG

Doo-wop vocals and buzzing disco backbeats are dashed with sparkling drums and electric riffs on the new SICK GIRL EP from local singer-songwriter -EVA-.

-EVA-, aka Eva Leach, has focused heavily on developing original solo material for the past two years. The 22-year-old’s first full-length record, Imperfect Parallels, came to light last fall under the artist moniker she shares with her brother, Nathan & Eva. The duo’s jazzy Americana is a far cry from her newest three-song project.

SICK GIRL’s carefree pop builds with Leach’s layered vocal harmonies and dissipates into percussive girl-rock aggression.

Her raw voice sings about ugly stuff with basal tones over pretty instrumentation to articulate a jarring narrative.

“When you talk about assault, abuse, miscarriages — I never hear people blatantly say the words,” Leach told City Paper.

“It’s always very delicate, like the emotion behind it or metaphors. I blatantly called some things out for what they were.”

At the start of the COVID pandemic, Leach began having chronic partial seizures out of nowhere, all the while experiencing a series of traumatic relationship events.

“I got to the point where I mentally broke,” Leach recalled. “I said: ‘I don’t care what anybody thinks. I’ve been listening to everybody except for myself.’ So I put every-

Runaway CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29

It makes perfect sense that Runaway Gin came to be and seems likely that this eclectic electric ensemble might not have been possible anywhere else.

“The amount of sheer musical talent in Charleston right now is staggering,” Greenberg said. “Our bassist Tim Khayat comes primarily from a jazz and Cuban background. Our drummer Sean Bing comes from a funk and rock background.

Neither one had played in an improvisa-

thing that I thought into my music. People who have chronic health conditions are invisible. SICK GIRL is my voice for when I did not have one.”

Spattered across her songs are no-holds-

barred lyrics: “when you got me pregnant,” “I was so ill they put me on pills” and “I was suicidal.”

Leach was propelled forward by her penchant for female bedroom pop from the likes of up-and-comers Remy Wolf and Maude Latour. Her love for their DIY production shows itself in the homemade drum and bass beats that she layered with recordings of her brother Nathan’s guitar-playing.

The punch that SICK GIRL packs into nine minutes is a huge stepping stone for Leach because she also did all the artwork, production and promotion. The EP’s promotional art juxtaposes the color pink’s essence of girliness with heavy grungy makeup and freeze frames of psychoticbreak moments to symbolize the loss of innocence. In Leach’s perspective, being victimized by physical and emotional violence inherently causes you to doubt yourself first and foremost.

“When I was going through all that trauma, the music that saved me was female pop music — bad bitch energy.

Instead of listening to sad music … I changed the narrative,” she said. “And it’s that kind of energy that I wanted to give back. It’s been really empowering for me to know that I did it and that it’s there, that people are responding. It sounds weird but I inspired myself.” —Chelsea Grinstead

tional rock band before Runaway Gin, so we have had the unique opportunity of creating new jam-styles almost from scratch rather than relying on their experience in this genre to guide us. Rounding out our lineup is Jennifer Reiser on the keys, who does have jam band experience but is more steeped in classic progressive rock.”

Greenberg’s larger point is that this collective was designed to pay tribute to Phish, but in a decidedly original way: “Most Phish tributes are made of musicians whose central influence is Phish — which limits them stylistically, relatively speaking,” he said.

“To me as a huge Phish fan, the Runaway Gin lineup mirrors Phish members’ varied musical backgrounds.”

As expected, for the Windjammer show, Greenberg and the band plan a plethora of Phish tunes along with other artists’ songs that Phish has covered at some point.

“The dominant themes of the band right now are deep, long improvisations and playful segues and mash-ups,” he said.

“If you watch us on stage you’ll pick up very quickly that we are all very inspired, having tons of fun and very open to any musical possibility.”
