GREENVILLE ZOO PREPARES FOR FIRST ORANGUTAN BIRTH IN 12 YEARS

ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

The Greenville Zoo is getting ready for a new arrival. Lana, the zoo’s female Sumatran orangutan, is due to give birth in a few weeks, according to a news release. It will be the first orangutan birth at the zoo in 12 years. The last orangutan born at the zoo was Bob, a male Bornean orangutan born to parents Mia and Chelsea in 2006, according to Greenville Zoo administrator Jeff Bullock. All three orangutans have since been transferred to other zoos. Lana is expected to give birth sometime between July 18 and Aug. 11, with a due date of July 30, Bullock said. “There are so many moving parts that have gone into this new arrival,” he said. Bullock added that Lana had never been given an opportunity to reproduce before arriving at the Greenville Zoo. The 33-year-old orangutan was born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans in 1985 and transferred to the Cincinnati Zoo in 1990. Lana was sent to Greenville two years ago on a breeding loan from Cincinnati, according to Bullock. The Species Survival Program, a program of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums that oversees breeding in accredited facilities, recommended her as a mate for Kumar, Greenville’s male orangutan. It wasn’t an easy courtship, however. “Introducing animals can always be tricky,” Bullock said. “What I think made this situation trickier was the age difference. Kumar is just more active than she is.” Kumar was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Texas in 2005. Since arriving at the Greenville Zoo in 2016, the 13-year-old orangutan has broken out of his enclosure

three times. His most recent escape took place in January, when the zoo was closed for annual maintenance. Despite their differences in personality and age, Lana and Kumar eventually “learned to tolerate one another and were able to set their personal boundaries,” the release said.

DID YOU KNOW?

Sumatran orangutans are considered one of the world’s 25 most-endangered primates and listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The population is estimated to be under 15,000 in the wild. In May 2017, the keepers at the Greenville Zoo began to notice the physical characteristics of pregnancy becoming apparent in Lana. A human pregnancy test confirmed she was, indeed, expecting. Lana, however, suffered a miscarriage three months later. Bullock said the zoo’s animal care staff and veterinary team will be monitoring Lana closely and taking every precaution to help ensure her health and prepare for any complications that she might experience throughout the rest of her pregnancy. The zoo, for instance, has developed a 27-page management plan to prepare for the birth and consulted with local medical professionals, including an obstetrician and gynecologist, pediatrician, and neonatologist, for as-

sistance throughout the pregnancy and birth, since the processes are similar to those of humans. Dr. Nikolay Kapustin, deputy administrator and veterinarian at the Greenville Zoo, said the zoo’s staff and volunteers will begin monitoring Lana around the clock on July 18 via remote cameras, but won’t intervene with the birth unless there is an urgent issue. “The goal is a natural delivery,” Kapustin said, “but we’re set up to accommodate anything.” In preparation for the birth, the zoo’s keepers have started training Lana to hold and nurse her newborn by using a stuffed-animal orangutan. They’re also working with the zoo’s veterinary team to conduct regular ultrasounds and bloodwork. Lana’s last day on exhibit was Sunday, July 8, after which she was permanently separated from Kumar and put into a den that’s been “baby-proofed” with padded floors and cleared of shelving and climbing materials, according to Bullock. If Lana rejects her baby or is unable to provide proper maternal care, the zoo said it will explore options such as partial hand-rearing or identifying a surrogate mother orangutan at another zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Bullock said the zoo will post pictures of the newborn orangutan on social media and likely hold a naming contest shortly after the birth. Visitors can expect to see the family together on exhibit this fall or next spring, depending on the weather.

ENGINEERING FIRM POSTPONES LIBERTY BRIDGE CLOSURE ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

Greenville’s Liberty Bridge, which transformed downtown when it opened to foot traffic in 2004, will have to wait a bit longer for its first-ever new coat of paint. The bridge has had routine maintenance over the years, but this summer marks the first time the city will strip away its old paint to apply a fresh coat, which city officials have said is integral to preventing future rust and structural issues. The updates started in February with phase one, when technicians replaced the bridge’s plastic abutment caps with ones made of galvanized steel. Phase two of the project comprises two stages, the first of which was set to start on July 5 and consists of cleaning and painting the bridge. Stage two includes replacement of the grommets through which the support cables pass. Leslie Fletcher, communications manager with the city, said its contracted engineering firm, WSP USA, decided to postpone the work until the plan’s environmental impact can be updated.

The Liberty Bridge will get a new coat of paint for the first time since it opened in 2004. Will Crooks/Greenville Journal

Scott Drayton, assistant parks and grounds administrator with the city, said WSP USA wanted to change the environmental impact plan to ensure no debris can fall to the ground or into the Reedy River, which flows beneath the bridge. “We’re just trying to minimize any kind of paint flakes, any kind of rust that will

fall off the bridge and go into the river to minimize the environmental impact,” Drayton said. The bridge will have a plastic casing underneath it to catch any of the debris while the work is being done. Drayton said July 23 is the new estimated start date, but the bridge won’t close to

the public until stage two begins. At that point, the bridge will close so the construction team can remove the safety rails in order to replace the grommets. The goal is to have the entire project completed by Aug. 30, but work cannot begin until WSP USA signs off on the environmental plan. In a May release, the city explained the paint is best applied during the summer because the warm weather helps it adhere to the structure. The Liberty Bridge features an unusual cantilever design; there are only two others like it in the world, Drayton said. WSP USA has been working with SBP, an engineering firm based in Germany that designed the bridge, to inspect it every three years because of the cantilever design. “It’s gotten very good inspection ratings,” Drayton said. Drayton said the updates this summer are primarily preventative and aesthetic measures. Any small fissures that might be on the bridge will also be sealed.

REPORT: GREENVILLE RENTERS ARE MORE DEMANDING THAN MOST CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville renters are demanding. Got a cat and looking for an apartment in Greenville? You’re in luck. Two-thirds of the apartments in Greenville are cat-friendly, according to a new study by Apartment List. But Greenville renters must be dog lovers. Apartment List found only 12 percent of renters are looking for a place that will welcome their felines. Looking for a Greenville apartment that has in-unit laundry? That’s more problematic. Forty-five percent of Greenville renters want it, but only 20 percent of properties have it. The report called renters in Greenville more demanding than renters in other parts of the country. Renter demand here was above the national average in eight of the 10 amenities analyzed. The two oth-

ers? In-unit laundry and cat-friendliness. In Greenville, 45 percent of renters wanted in-unit laundry compared with 53 percent nationally. Twelve percent of renters in Greenville and nationwide wanted catfriendly apartments. Apartment List’s report, based on online search patterns and data from the properties on the company’s platform, concluded that rental-amenity mix doesn’t match renter needs in most areas. The study found the relative lack or overabundance of particular amenities is likely related to the upfront costs associated with each amenity. Providing pet-friendliness doesn’t involve any upfront cost, only marginal incremental costs associated with faster wear and tear, which are often recouped by charging “pet rent,” the report said. On the other hand, in-unit laundry takes up valuable space within a rental unit and requires significant upfront costs, Apartment List said.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE ROLLS OUT APP MELODY WRIGHT | CONTRIBUTOR

mwright@communityjournals.com

Do you want direct, two-way communication with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office? Now, there’s an app for that. The Sheriff’s Office has launched the new GCSO app to enable communication between law enforcement and the public. The free app is available through the App Store and Google Play by searching “GCSO” or texting “GCSO” to 95577. The app, developed by Applied Webology, will not track users’ locations, nor will users’ information be sold to advertisers. Applied Webology handles all back-end operations of the app to ensure user privacy is maintained, officials said. “[The GCSO app] will allow us to expedite communications to each of you, the citizens, [regarding] missing persons, wanted persons, bank robberies, or whatever the citizen needs to know that’s happening in the Sheriff’s Office,” Sheriff Johnny Mack Brown said. App users can access the sex offender registry, crime map, most-wanted list, fallen heroes list, annual reports, and Crime

Stoppers, as well as provide tips. Sheriff’s Office representatives noted, however, that the app does not replace 911, which should be used in emergency situations. “It’s important that we gather information from the public who is witnessing these events so that we can properly investigate crimes or locate missing persons,” Sgt. Ryan Flood said. Greenville city police, who have used a similar app for more than a year, said they have found the tool effective in notifying the community, especially with special events downtown. Information such as traffic collisions and backups, parking availability, and weather updates are also accessible through the app. App users must allow push notifications and location monitoring at all times in order for the communication tool to be most effective. “Where you can use technology to be a force multiplier and to communicate more rapidly to large numbers of people and use that technology in a smart way, then I think everybody wins,” said Ken Miller, chief of the Greenville Police Department.

NOT A BAAAAD IDEA FURMAN UNIVERSITY IS USING SHEEP TO MAINTAIN GRASS AT ITS SOLAR FARM

WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS

hat’s at least as environmentally friendly as constructing a solar farm to cut utility bills? Using a four-legged mowing crew to keep the 6-acre tract manicured. Furman University is partnering with Greenville farmer Steve Wood to see if his flock of St. Croix hair sheep can reduce the cost — and gas emissions — of mowing the solar farm, which sits between Poinsett Highway and Old Buncombe Road. Opened last year, the 743-kilowatt solar farm features 2,994 panels capable of reducing the university’s electricity expenditures by 5 percent annually, said Jeff Redderson, associate vice president for facility and campus services at Furman. Despite its benefits, however, the solar farm has become a challenge for the university’s landscaping team as their riding mowers can’t trim grass and weeds growing in the hard-to-reach areas beneath the solar panels, according to Redderson. Wood, who drives by the solar farm on a regular basis to use Furman University’s Lay Physical Activities Center, noticed overgrowth on the property earlier this year and decided to meet with Redderson to propose a partnership. “I was pretty shy about bringing it up at first, because I figured the university would think I was crazy,” Wood said. Redderson, however, loved the idea of deploying sheep at the solar farm and took it to the Shi Center for Sustainability to see if it might work. “I had heard of the technique but never really considered the possibility of doing it here at Furman until Steve approached us,” Redderson said. “It’s been a great solution.” Furman officials introduced 12 sheep — four ewes and eight lambs — to the solar farm last month. The bleating crew has since proved itself to be a handy addition, munching on patches of grass day and night, according to Redderson. They will graze at the university’s solar farm until October and return next spring. Laura Bain, associate director of sustainability assessment at Furman, said the sheep are a greener alternative to lawn mowers and weed whackers, which consume large amounts of gasoline and emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The sheep are also a cheaper, more efficient maintenance option since the hard-to-reach areas under the solar farm’s panels would have to otherwise be mowed

by hand, a technique that’s more expensive and timeconsuming, according to Bain. Bain added that bringing in sheep to do a job typically left to lawn mowers and weed whackers isn’t a new technique, but Furman’s solar farm is likely the first in South Carolina to use the animals for landscaping purposes. The use of sheep to maintain solar farms is a trend that has grown with the rise of utility-scale solar developments in rural areas across the country. It has become especially popular in North Carolina, where more than a dozen solar farms employ sheep. North Carolina is also home to Sun Raised Farms, a maintenance contractor that offers mowing, grazing, and agricultural services, and manages a statewide network of sheep farmers who want to grow their flocks and serve solar sites. “Our farmers take ownership of each site and are trained [in] best [practices] from our experience working with sheep on solar farms,” the company’s website reads. “With our model, we accomplish a win for the solar company, a win for the community, a win for the family farmer, a win for the consumer, and a win for the environment.” Wood, who operates a 17-acre farm in northern Greenville County, said St. Croix hair sheep, which are known for their white hair and gentle nature, are a good choice for Furman’s solar farm since horses or cows would be too large and goats would likely damage the panels by jumping on them or even consuming parts of them. The sheep are also low maintenance, Wood said. Unlike other breeds, St. Croix hair sheep grow hair instead of wool and naturally shed their winter coat during the warmer months. They’re also known for their resistance to internal parasites. Sheep also have big appetites, according to Wood. An online calculator created by real estate brokerage and referral site Movoto shows that a single sheep can trim from 10 to 20 square meters of grass per day — the size of a large bedroom. In addition to a buffet of grass, Furman’s sheep receive fresh water and minerals on site and can take refuge from the heat beneath the solar panels, according to Wood, who visits the solar farm two to three times a week to check on his flock.

The sheep, however, don’t need much supervision since many of them are outfitted with bells, which ward off coyotes and other predators, according to Wood. The university also slightly modified the solar farm’s fencing to better secure the property. Wood said his partnership with Furman is a conservation effort of sorts as the St. Croix hair sheep is a heritage breed, a term used by the agricultural community to designate traditional livestock breeds that were popular before industrial agriculture became a mainstream practice. Heritage breeds are usually threatened or endangered. St. Croix hair sheep, which are native to the U.S. Virgin Islands and named for the island of St. Croix, are believed to be descended from African sheep that were brought to the Caribbean on slave ships in the 1500s, according to The Livestock Conservancy, an organization that works to protect endangered livestock and poultry breeds from extinction. The first group of St. Croix hair sheep — two ewes and one ram — were imported into the United States in 1957. The breed is now recognized as threatened by The Livestock Conservancy, with fewer than 1,000 registrations per year. Wood said he plans to organize several “sheep encounters” at the university’s solar farm throughout the year in hopes that their docile nature might provide an opportunity for Furman students to learn about the animals in a safe way. For now, Wood is working with the university to evaluate how many sheep are actually needed to maintain the vegetation at the solar farm. He’s also working with Bain and other officials to install solar-powered electric fencing at the solar farm to guide the sheep’s grazing patterns to patches of grass beneath the panels. Furman is currently using a combination of mowing and grazing at its solar farm until the flock’s lambs can consume more grass, according to Bain. “The babies don’t eat much grass now since they are still nursing,” she said. As the project continues, Bain said she would like to recruit students and faculty members from a number of disciplines, including biology and mathematics, to help determine the amount of forage that’s available at the solar farm for grazing animals.

Safe Harbor releases 2017 statistics on domestic violence services

RMHCC expands house to serve hundreds of families with sick children

The National Network to End Domestic Violence released results from its National Census of Domestic Violence Services in its 12th annual Domestic Violence Counts report. For 24 hours, the census surveyed domesticviolence programs across the United States and territories to create a one-day snapshot of the services provided to survivors and their families. Safe Harbor, a local nonprofit organization that provides a continuum of services for victims of domestic violence and their children in Greenville, Pickens, Anderson, and Oconee counties, participates in the national census each year. In 2017, Safe Harbor sheltered 594 people, answered 1,900 crisis calls, provided 7,024 hours of counseling and case management, assisted 25 families with transitional housing, provided counseling and advocacy for 311 survivors outside the shelter, reached 8,750 students through preventioneducation programming, spoke to more than 3,000 community members, gave away $56,459 in clothing to clients and children through the Safe Harbor Resale Shop, and recorded more than 5,000 hours of service by volunteers. Of clients who completed an exit survey at Safe Harbor, 99 percent said they felt safe and learned how to stay safe in the future; 97 percent said they knew more about domestic violence and how to recognize the warning signs of abuse; and 94 percent said they gained more personal power to make decisions in their lives.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas has announced the opening of its newly expanded house. The new house has taken years of planning, fundraising, and construction to finally come to fruition. The 17,500-square-foot expansion is the first in its 29-year history. The expansion connects to the current house at 706 Grove Road, across the street from Greenville Health System’s Children’s Hospital and Memorial Hospital. The house opened in 1989 with 12 guest rooms. As Greenville has grown over the years, the need for more space for families to stay has grown, as well. The house has accommodated close to 400 families each year but has also had to turn away about 250 families because of space limitations. The board of directors initiated the Building Hope capital campaign in 2015 to raise $3.5 million for the expansion. The expansion includes 12 additional guest rooms with private baths (two of which are suites), a new guest reception and check-in area, family gathering spaces, a large kitchen, an elevator, expanded laundry facilities, a conference area, and a large outdoor area with a playground. RMHC has served more than 11,000 families from Upstate South Carolina, across the country, and outside the United States. Last year alone, the house served families from 33 counties in South Carolina, 11 states, and four countries, according to RMHCC.

PLACE, EXPLORED Diane Kilgore Condon has a unique perspective on the Village of West Greenville, a once-blighted neighborhood that has become a thriving artists’ community. In addition to being a working artist, she is the owner of The Art Bomb Studio, which she calls the first and only dedicated artist space of its kind in Greenville. Unlike many studios, The Art Bomb, which is housed in the old Brandon Mill company store on Pendleton Street, is not a gallery, but rather a working studio with 16 resident artists. This, she says, allows the artists to focus on completing art. Those finished works are then sent out to galleries to be featured or sold. To help artists afford this studio space,

she has intentionally kept the space as affordable as possible. Kilgore Condon says it’s “a miracle” the studio has been able to survive. “Only God, lots of duct tape, and the fact that we pay county and not city taxes has kept Art Bomb where it is,” she says. And survive it has. A few years ago, Kilgore Condon bought the building’s annex and the two houses on the lot next door. The turnover is so low that she says the group of artists who maintain studios at The Art Bomb feel like a family, even as the community itself is rapidly changing. “As long as they don’t rip down buildings, I don’t have any objection to any of it,” Kilgore Condon says of the

redevelopment. “The only thing that I do wish is that they look the neighborhood people in the face. Acknowledge them and bring them along.” As property values go up, Kilgore Condon is concerned that the community will lose its diversity, something she cherishes. “Having an interaction with someone who is very different than you is always a good experience,” she says. “But you have to start doing it to believe it.” Kilgore Condon’s life and work are about these intimate, individual experiences, and she tries to capture them and translate them with paint, shape, and color. Her most recent series includes “The

Journeyman,” painted right after the death of a friend whom Kilgore Condon helped care for during her last days. Bright daisylike flowers burst from a muted but also effervescent background of a boat in water with a dog at the helm that speaks to the beauty and sadness in that transition. Each work in the series emits a palpable stillness, a quietude that she says she always seeks in her art and something she credits to the tranquility of her childhood, growing up on a Wisconsin farm with plenty of time alone. “The thing I long for is that sense of being really in the moment and having something happen when you’re really tuned in like kids are,” she says.

HORRIBLE GIRL & THE HOT MESS’ LATEST SINGLE SHOWCASES NEW FIVE-PIECE LINEUP VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Chad G. MBA, 2016

Imagine being cooped up in a small vehicle with four other people for up to 24 hours at a time. It’s uncomfortable, especially if you’re in a vehicle that’s also packed full of guitars, keyboards, drums, and various musical accessories. That’s what Greenville’s Horrible Girl & The Hot Mess band did last year, taking on a 10-date tour up and down the East Coast in true DIY fashion. It’s bound to cause some frayed nerves, and things came to a head in Baltimore when singer-guitarist Amelia Taylor Hall and bassist Wayne Swayze found themselves trekking around town on foot looking for a bathroom. Swayze was complaining about blisters on his feet, and Hall could take no more. She turned to him and angrily snapped, “I’m buying you a new pair of shoes!” Which, in retrospect, actually isn’t that bad. “Having someone yell at me that they were going to buy me new shoes actually made me feel pretty loved,” Swayze says. It’s a sign of the respect and affection that the five musicians in Horrible Girl & The Hot Mess (Hall, Swayze, guitarist Daniel Neely, keyboard player Jake Xingu, and drummer Shelby Miller) have for one another that that was about as bad as it got on the road. Musically, the band, which will play Friday at the Radio Room in Greenville with Stacked Like Pancakes, is in a great place as well. It was a trio until 2017, playing a catchy blend of punk and indie-rock while Hall sang deceptively catchy songs about trying to find some light in a dark time, whether it was through love, music, friendship, or community. But after it expanded to a five-piece, adding Xingu and Neely, the band’s sound quickly shifted to something more accessible and universal. On its new single,

“Hot Topic Friends,” the sound is anthemic, infectious, and more intricate than anything the band had attempted before. And the message, which centers on the line “Do you know that you are loved?” is still hopeful. “I’d been wanting to make the sound bigger so that I could have more emphasis on dynamics,” Hall says. “With a three-piece, you have a lot of space to fill, and now with keys and guitar, you can more deliberately use that space. I’ll play a riff for Daniel and then he’ll take it and do more with it, and Jake has a really good ear, so the keys add texture when we go quieter. I can focus a lot more on riffs and melodies, and on delivery and performing, which is really cool.” The “Hot Topic Friends” single is the first taste of the band’s new album, “Do You Know Who Your Friends Are,” which will be out late this year. After recording the basic tracks at downtown’s Sit-N-Spin Recording Studios with engineer John Martin behind the soundboard, Horrible Girl is working on finishing the songs themselves, with help from producer/engineer Mark Jones. That approach has allowed them the luxury of taking their time, something they didn’t have on their first EP, 2016’s “How to Date a Severed Head,” which was banged out in a few hours. “When you have a time constraint, you can have a quality constraint,” Shelby Miller says. “The songs came out great, but when we listened to them back, there were things I would’ve changed. We get to take as much time as we want with this one, so it’s going to come out really well when it gets released.”

MUSIC NOTES

SPOTLIGHT: TOM ANGST VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Tom Angst is a great example of how theft can sometimes work out. The band formed when singer-songwriter Danielle McConaghy got tired of doing solo acoustic love songs and decided she wanted to front a band. Luckily, there was one handy, a group called Quality Control that featured guitarist Pearson Parham, bassist Jonah Hunter, and drummer Sal Bruno. So she kind of just took them, and made a new band called Tom Angst. “Jonah and I date, so he was my obvious choice for bass player,” McConaghy says. “Pearson and I were in choir

together, and he immediately said he could play guitar. I said I still needed a drummer, and Sal said he would play for both Quality Control and our band.” Tom Angst was able to pull people to its shows almost immediately, something that McConaghy says she wasn’t expecting, but she can pinpoint some possible reasons why. “I was definitely surprised, but we had a really good support system of other musicians and places like Pablo and the Radio Room,” she says. “It made me think that maybe this could be something for real.” She also thinks that the band’s deceptively bright, beguiling music draws

people in, whether or not they’re aware of some of the heavier themes of songs like “Suicide Sucks.” “With some of the subjects I cover, if I were to try to fit the songs with the context, it would be too much of a bummer,” she says. “I like the fact that it’s there if you want it but if you don’t, you can still hang out and have a good time. I want to talk about my feelings, but people can take what they want from it.” Parham echoes her sentiment when he says that audiences respond to the directness of a Tom Angst performance. “I feel like there are a lot of bands out there who have gimmicks or see someone put on a big show and they try to be

like that,” he says. “But I think that Tom Angst tries to be more genuine, like we’re hanging out and expressing what we need to express yourself. The music is genuine like that and we have something to talk about.” The band has done some limited touring around the state, but members are happy to be part of a resurgent music scene in the Upstate, despite the counsel that some older bands on the scene have given them. “We’ve had people who have been here awhile tell us stuff like, ‘Let me give you some advice: Get the heck out of Greenville!’” Parham says with a laugh. “And we’re like, ‘What? No!’”

In Tom Angst’s early days, the band frequently played at Greenville’s Radio Room and the house-show venue Pablo in Clemson. Will Crooks/Greenville Journal

Formed: Early 2017 From: Greenville Members: Danielle McConaghy (vocals, guitar), Pearson Parham (guitar), Jonah Hunter (bass), and Sal Bruno (drums) What they sound like: Shimmering, beguilingly melodic guitar pop with a deceptively bright sound, given the often-dark lyrical content. Think Hospitality or Frankie Cosmos, or go all the way back to The Sundays or Stereolab. Who they like: Daddy’s Beemer, Wallpaper, Apricot Blush

THAT CAROLINA SOUND PAYS TRIBUTE TO SPARTANBURG’S UNCLE WALT’S BAND VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Spartanburg has a rich history of music greats, from gritty singer-songwriter Marshall Chapman to classic Southern rockers The Marshall Tucker Band to the iconic bluesman Pink Anderson. But perhaps the most underappreciated group among those musical luminaries, at least while they were together, was Uncle Walt’s Band, with members singers/guitarists Champ Hood and Walter Hyatt, and singer/upright bassist David Ball. The band’s music, recently revisited on an anthology called “Those Carolina Boys, They Sure Could Sing,” is dazzling in its simplicity, adventurous spirit, and aching, high-lonesome vocal harmonies. For years, the trio was largely unknown outside of Spartanburg or their second home, Austin, Texas, where they moved in the early 1970s, but as time went by, musicians like Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, and Marcia Ball began singing their praises. David Ball managed to bring some of that down-home authenticity with him to a country music solo career, even scoring a platinum album in the mid-1990s with “Thinkin’ Problem,” but Hood and Hyatt died in 1996 and 2001, respectively, before the revived interest in their music really took hold. Now, with the anthology shining a new light on their material, Ball has banded together with Champ Hood’s son Warren and Warren’s cousin Marshall to form That Carolina Sound, a touring tribute to Uncle Walt’s Band that both revisits their material and reinterprets some of Ball’s solo work in the acoustic, three-part-harmony format. “It’s been really great,” says Ball, who will perform two shows at the FR8yard in Spartanburg this weekend with That Carolina Sound. “I’ve always loved that

music, and to get to play it with Warren and Marshall, who I’ve known for a long time, it’s been wonderful. I hope we can do it justice.” Doing the music justice was a bit of a challenge for Ball at first, not just because his singing voice isn’t as high as it used to be, but because he hadn’t remembered how complex some of those simple-sounding acoustic songs really were. Up until the past few years, Ball, who is working on an album due out later this year, wasn’t really expecting to have to sing the songs of Uncle Walt’s Band again, because he didn’t know about the growing legacy that the band (which broke up when Ball went solo in 1983) had. “I wasn’t really aware of it,” he says. “I remember the impact we had for that little period of time in Austin, and I guess those people kind of carried it with them all over the country.” As for why that trickle never became a flood, Ball says the band just didn’t fit in with its time. “We started this thing at a time when people weren’t really playing this kind of music,” he says, “and it didn’t become as popular. But we were free, because people never knew what to expect from us, or what song we were going to play next. We’d go anywhere we wanted to and play whatever captured our imaginations.”

BACKSTAGE WORDS BY EMILY PIETRAS PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

What has been your most challenging role and why? From a physical standpoint, I would have to say that my most recent role as Gaston has been a real challenge — from getting into shape (dropping nearly 60 pounds) to the physical demands of the role onstage. From an emotional standpoint, it would be the role of Dan in “Next to Normal,” which I did at Anderson University. I had to go to some very dark places dealing with the loss of a child and mental illness.

What has been your most enjoyable role and why? I like any role that pushes me outside my comfort zone or any role that requires a physical change on my part. If I had to narrow it down, though, it would have had to have been when I was able to play Frederick Barrett in “Titanic the Musical.” It was one of my dream roles. When I was younger, I was obsessed with the Titanic, and upon discovering there was a musical, it was like a merging of two worlds.

What’s your favorite play?

Q&A

WITH ACTOR CRAIG SMITH

Craig Smith discovered his love of theater the way many young people do: through his high school drama classes. Smith, a South Carolina native, graduated from Anderson University with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in musical theater and performed with a number of Upstate theaters, including The Market Theatre Co. in Anderson and Mill Town Players in Pelzer, before joining Greenville Little Theatre as a resident actor for the 2017-2018 season. With GLT, Smith’s recent roles have included Gaston in “Beauty and the Beast,” Willie Conklin in “Ragtime,” and Giles in “The Mousetrap.” Audiences will have more chances to see Smith onstage soon; he has recently signed on for another season of residency at GLT, where he will have roles in productions of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” “It’s A Wonderful Life,” “Oliver!” and “Catch Me If You Can.”

When did you first become involved in acting, and when did you know this is something you wanted to do long term? I first started acting — or better to say I had my first theater experience — when I was in elementary school. I was an elf in our Christmas production. I don’t think I quite grasped the concept at that point. It wasn’t until I began taking drama classes in high school that [I] really thought of this as something I would like to spend the rest of my life doing. But, once I was hooked, I was hooked for good.

I won’t lie. I hate this question. I have a hard enough time trying to decide on what brand of toothpaste to buy, and that’s something I don’t really care all that much about! So, to ask me my favorite show is something that I don’t think I could give you a solid answer on. I have my top 10 list. … OK, let’s be real, top 20. But trying to narrow that down would be impossible.

CORLEY

Home Tips Have you ever heard a crackling, popping or hissing sound when you flip the light switch? These sounds usually come from live electricity sparking, or arcing, between metal contact points inside the switch. Hearing a switch buzz does not mean that a fire is imminent, but it does mean there is a potential danger that should be addressed.

Which actors inspire you? Another tough question! To start, I think I would have to say I’m more inspired by performances rather than the actor. Still, I’m inspired by any actor who brings their work to the table and leaves it all there for the world to see. I’m inspired by actors who can maneuver their craft so easily that it appears effortless. I admire actors who perform with maximum vulnerability onstage and who let nothing hold them back from telling the story that they are telling. Those are the people who inspire me.

What do you most enjoy about Greenville’s theater scene? One of the things that I really enjoy about the Greenville theater scene is that it doesn’t limit itself. Greenville theaters strive to give their audiences a wide variety of theater to choose from, ranging from timeless classics to new, innovative shows that push boundaries.

How has Greenville’s theater scene changed since you first became involved? I first came into the Greenville scene when I played Enjolras in GLT’s “Les Mis” [“Les Misérables”] a few years back. While I don’t have as much knowledge of the Greenville theater scene as some stage veterans do, I can say one thing: The Greenville theater scene continues to grow. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a number of new theaters pop up, as well as established theaters reaching record numbers just as GLT has done with their latest production of “Beauty and the Beast.”

What is your hope for the future of theater in Greenville? My hope for the theater community of Greenville is that they will continue to strive to bring quality entertainment to the people of the Upstate, and that it will go on creating a love of the performing arts in the hearts and minds of both new and old theatergoers, challenging them to think, support, and appreciate the art.

Jeni Blyth whips up a daiquiri at Rocket Surgery.

Hot pink-haired and tattooed bartender Jeni Blyth, 34, remembers at 4 years old tasting the blue “Daiquiri Ice” Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavor for the first time. “I said, ‘Daddy, Daddy, this is the best flavor in the whole wide world,’ and he looked at me and he said, ‘Jeni, one day you’re going to have a problem,’” she jokes. It would, however, take her two and a half decades to fully realize her lifelong love affair with daiquiris and their base spirit, rum. “Rum has always been my soul mate. It’s where my heart is,” she says. After almost 15 years in the service industry waiting tables and running food, never working behind the bar, Blyth went to MG Road Bar & Lounge in Asheville, N.C., when she turned 30 and ordered a simple and refreshing tequila cocktail with lychee and rose water. “That’s where I fell in love with the craft of the cocktail. Sitting at the bar watching a beautiful woman just delicately take her time making a beautiful cocktail, I was enthralled and I was like, ‘This is it. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life,’” she recalls. But four years ago, Greenville’s craft cocktail scene still hadn’t taken off, and the opportunity to develop mixology skills didn’t immediately present itself. Then in 2016, she was offered the chance to train as a backup bartender at Chicora Alley’s South Main Street location. She jumped at it. Soon after, speakeasy Vault & Vator was getting ready to open, and the then-lead mixologist Kirk Ingram offered Blyth an apprenticeship. After three weeks, she was hired as the third bartender. Two months later, she became the lead bartender and beverage director when Ingram left, and two months after that, Blyth became general manager. She had much to learn, and fast. “It was a lot. I learned a lot. I made a lot of mistakes. I did a lot of great things. When I stepped behind that bar, I knew I was home and that’s where I was supposed to be and what I was supposed to do for the rest of my life,” she says.

Along with reading as much as she could about cocktails and attending industry events, she also learned vital management skills, such as separating friends from coworkers and how to multitask and delegate. During that time, while on vacation visiting family in Germany, she guest bartended at Bar Zentral in Berlin, where she introduced them to her Vault & Vator tradition of an end-of-shift Sazerac for the whole staff, and they bestowed on her invaluable cocktail knowledge and a pineapple necklace, indicating she is an official staff member and has a standing job offer. “It’s tempting,” she says. She did return to Greenville, and brought with her some of the booze-forward, bitter cocktails she created for her German customers. Early in 2018, Blyth left her position at Vault & Vator to spend some time traveling and learning from some of the best mixologists in the business. Now she’s back in the Greenville area and behind the bar at Travelers Rest’s Rocket Surgery twice a week while she develops the new-toGreenville Italian cocktail program for Luna Rosa’s new Main Street location. That program will include an afternoon aperitivo hour, which is like happy hour but serves the purpose of preparing the digestive system for dinner. During those few afternoon hours, traditionally potato chips, olives, and other small bites are served alongside spritzes and light, low-alcohol drinks. After dinner, Blyth has plans for a full amari program, which can soothe the stomach after a big meal. But there’s a learning curve and a bit of an acquired taste for amari, so she’s planning to roll it out strategically. Her mentor described the strategy to her this way: “Think about it like you would coffee or chocolate. When you were a child, when you were younger, you ate milk chocolate, you drank coffee with more milk in it than there was coffee. Now as an adult, you enjoy dark chocolate and black coffee. Think of an amari that way. So start off with an aperitivo like Aperol and then work your way to the heavy fernet.”

New and shiny We Greenvillians have a great way of flocking to whatever’s new, sometimes at the expense of our old faithful spots. Shame on us. But here’s an oldie that now has a new location that you should definitely get to ASAP. Due South Coffee Roasters opened last week in its new Hampton Station digs (1320 Hampton Ave. Extension, Suite 4B) across from White Duck Taco Shop, where they had a temporary counter set up for months. Inside the new location, the roaster isn’t operational yet, but the coffee counter is fully functional, including the perfect remedy to a hot day — nitro coffee on tap. House-made ice cream will also be available as soon as the kitchen is fully operational.

Soapbox alert

Favorite cocktail to make:

Any kind of sour, especially a whiskey sour with the egg white

Craziest cocktail ever made:

“I’m still the most proud of my Melancholy Ninja. That’s my baby. The Ninja Warrior Coffee Roasters in Easley brought a gallon of coldbrew coffee and said, ‘play.’” After five rounds of dealer’s choice (when the bartender makes what she want for the guest) at the Vault & Vator bar, she was creatively fatigued but gave it one last shot. She combined bourbon, fernet, cold-brew coffee, and habanero honey. “I looked at my other bartender and said, ‘This is either going to be the best or the worst thing I’ve ever made in my life,’ and I shook it up, and low and behold, it’s the best drink I’ve ever created. Who puts fernet and coffee and habanero honey together? I do.”

Hear me out. This is a much larger discussion, but I’ll attempt to distill it down because I keep hearing this: When you go sit at a bar, or dine at one of our hundreds of local restaurants, unless your server or bartender offers up this information, don’t ask, “So what do you really want to do?” The implication being that a job in the service industry isn’t a “real job.” And in fact, most of us have been guilty of thinking that way. It’s time to stop that. Why? Because it’s wrong, first of all (just ask anyone in management at a restaurant how real that job is), and second, as many restaurants are struggling to stay open because they lack consistent staff (recently, downtown mainstay Addy’s has had to close temporarily), it’d be great if working in a kitchen or providing hospitality to diners was more widely considered an admirable career. Think of the domino effect — fully staffed restaurants, consistent kitchens. It’s something from which we’d all benefit.

ICYMI from UBJ Bottle Cap Group has closed its third Greenville restaurant within a year. Wu’s Cajun Sea Food, which opened in December 2017 at 116 N. Main St., downtown Greenville, closed after dinner Sunday, July 1. The group formerly owned and operated Brazwells Premium Pub at 631 S. Main St., which was open for less than two years when it closed in October 2017, and Diner 24 at 18 E. Coffee St., which closed in November 2017 after five months. The restaurant group, based in Charlotte, N.C., with locations in Charleston as well, still operates Ink N Ivy, Vine Nightclub, and SIP Whiskey & Wine Bar in Greenville. Foxcroft Wine Co., also from Charlotte, has taken over the former Brazwells space and plans to open this summer, but we’re still waiting to see what happens with the Diner 24 location, and nothing has been announced yet for Wu’s.

Greenville’s My Girl, My Whiskey & Me has a fluid, multifaceted approach to its bluegrassbased sound, and on its debut album, “In the Ground,” you can hear influences from jazz to progressive rock throughout the 10 rootsyyet-experimental tracks. The group, which revolves around the nucleus of singer/mandolin player George Colyer and singer/guitarist Kelly Colyer, cites influences from the virtuosic bluegrass of the Punch Brothers to the expansive experimentation of Pink Floyd. Its members work to move beyond the traditional boundaries of acoustic music, and in order to do so on the album, they worked with singer, producer, and fiddle player Robert Gowan of the Upstate band Wasted Wine. The live version of the band typically includes Gowan but can expand to a quintet (most often with upright bass player Josh Riley and banjo player Vilai Harrington), which means that depending on the night, you could be seeing a full bluegrasstinged ensemble or a more stripped-down, intimate duo. —Vincent Harris SAT

The Upstate jazz-rock trio Splang! (guitarist Monty Craig, bassist Tony Christopher, and drummer Jeff Sipe) may have been together for only a few months, but their roots go back a lot further. “Tony and I have been working together for a long time, and I thought Jeff would really like what we were doing,” Craig says. “But last year Jeff [an in-demand drummer who’s played with the late Col. Bruce Hampton, the Steep Canyon Rangers, and Susan Tedeschi, among others] was on the road a lot. Now we’re finally able to do it after a couple of years of talking about it.” The trio plays fusion-style jazz with a lot of progressive exploration, but Craig says they’re working on writing great tunes, as well. “We’ve developed a vocabulary of riffs that I hope will turn into songs,” he says, “but there’s always the element of surprise. Whatever’s happening in the moment, Jeff will throw us a curveball, and I’ll try to improvise over it.” —Vincent Harris

It’s been two years since the Spartanburg band Brigades played live, and three years since it last released any music. That’s largely because the band, which made some national waves on Pure Noise Records with its streamlined-but-massive modern rock sound, reached a point of exhaustion doing the album-tour-album cycle. Before singer-songwriter Darren Young revived the band late last year, he took some much-needed time off. “I went through a lot of crazy stuff,” he says, “with management, the record label, and agents. We were on tour eight months out of the year, we were having band turmoil internally, and nothing was going the way I’d planned for things to go.” After refashioning the band with new members and prepping a new EP (“True Blue”) for release at the end of the month, Young says things are looking up. “We took a year to work on songs and do studio stuff with [producer] Gene ‘Machine’ Freeman [Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes], and we loved what we got back,” he says. “It’s like we’re starting over. I’m happier now than I ever have been.” —Vincent Harris
