On the Water Upstate veterans discover the healing power of fly fishing
I
STORY BY ANDREW MOORE | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS
t’s a cold October morning in the mountains between South Carolina and Georgia, and the faint sound of rushing water echoes through the trees as James Gillian hikes along a narrow trail in the Sumter National Forest. He’s heading for the nearby Chattooga River, a 57-mile waterway that’s considered by many to be one of the top troutfishing locations in the Southeast. As he reaches the river’s edge, Gillian, 52, grips his fly rod and enters knee-deep water, carefully making his way upstream in a pair of heavy-duty, insulated waders. Setting his feet, Gillian throws a line into the current and watches it drift by, repeating the motion for about 30 minutes or so until
the line suddenly tightens. He’s got a bite. Gillian reels the fish in and lowers a scoop net into the water to examine his first catch of the day: a rainbow trout. The fish is small, but Gillian isn’t disappointed. He’s not here to catch trophies. He’s here for treatment — to stave off unwanted flashbacks of the year he spent overseas fighting for the freedoms that so many Americans enjoy today.
Trouble on the home front
A combat engineer in the U.S. Army during the Iraq War, Gillian witnessed and dealt with a lot of trauma while building infrastructure and patrolling streets throughout the Anbar Province, one of the deadliest areas for American service members. It took a personal toll. When Gillian retired and returned home to
South Carolina in 2005, he immediately felt the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD is a mental condition that can develop in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, such as war, according to Mayo Clinic. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. About 11 percent to 20 percent of veterans who served in operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom have PTSD in a given year, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “The biggest thing is the anxiety and panic attacks,” Gillian said, voice cracking. “Something as simple as hearing a car backfire can trigger a response.” Gillian, who became a self-described recluse, eventually sought help from Veterans Affairs. He now receives counseling
Fly Fishing 101
Fly fishing is an angling technique where an artificial “fly” is used to fool fish into biting. The techniques used to cast and present the weightless fly differ greatly from any other form of angling.
“Project Healing Waters gave me a mission,
every two weeks and enjoys the daily company of his support dog, a 3-year-old black Lab-German shepherd mix named Seven, which he received from Service Dogs for Veterans, located in Fountain Inn. He’s also joined a growing number of military veterans across the country who are using fly-fishing as a way to cope with PTSD and other disabilities. In 2015, Gillian’s now ex-wife discovered Project Healing Waters during a visit to the Greenville Vet Center off Pelham Road and recommended that he join. The Marylandbased nonprofit, which began in 2005 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, seeks to help disabled military personnel and veterans from all branches of service, from all generations, deal with the aftermath of injuries and re-entry to civilian life through the “therapeutic benefits of fly fishing.”

We also have devices that provide for a person missing a hand or arm the ability to tie a fly and fish.” Rouse leads two instructional events each month in Greenville. He and several volunteers teach newcomers how to tie flies, an artificial lure that fishermen create to imitate natural insects and entice fish, and even build rods. The program also sponsors casting classes and hosts about 10 fishing expeditions each year in the Carolinas and Georgia. About 10 to 15 veterans regularly participate in the program’s events, according to Rouse. Participants are referred to the program by Veterans Affairs and similar organizations, including Upstate Warrior Solution, a Greenville-based nonprofit that connects veterans and their families to resources and opportunities. “It is a form of therapy but not a replacement for professional therapy,” Rouse said. “The veterans are encouraged to remain under their professional-care program.”

A sport of the mind
From tying flies to building fly rods, Project Healing Waters teaches participants the basics of fly-fishing. All equipment is provided to the participants at no cost. The nonprofit also hosts daylong and overnight fishing expeditions free of charge. It operates 216 programs across 46 states, including South Carolina. More than 8,000 veterans participated in Project Healing Waters in 2017, according to the organization’s annual report. Chuck Rouse, who oversees the Project Healing Waters program in the Upstate, said fly-fishing often provides disabled veterans a welcome distraction from their troubles. The Vietnam War veteran helped launch the program in 2014 alongside other members of Greenville’s Mountain Bridge Trout Unlimited, an anglers group dedicated to conserving freshwater fish and their habitat. “There is nothing like catching a trout on a rod you have made and fly you have tied. … These activities all-combined free them from the terrors that haunt their mind and soul,” Rouse said. “The fly-fishing techniques also aid those who have

on the therapeutic benefits of the program
Last month, Rouse accompanied Gillian and three other disabled veterans on a half-day fishing excursion along the Chattooga River to put what they learned to the test — and to continue building relationships with others who are struggling since being out of the military. Greer resident Pauline Callaham, who served as an aircraft mechanic with the U.S. Air Force during the Gulf War, declined to discuss her medical reasons for participating in the trip but said it was therapeutic to get outdoors and talk with other veterans. She joined Project Healing Waters earlier this year upon the recommendation of her counselor at the Vet Center. Gillian said he continues to struggle with PTSD and spends most of his time at his home, which he considers a “secure space” free of triggers, such as loud noises and large crowds. The program, however, has allowed him to get outside, interact with others, and break out of his shell; he has gone from not being around a lot of people to smiling and laughing more often. “Your worries sort of just float away with the water,” he said.
The path to healing
As Gillian and other veterans cast their lines into the Chattooga River last month,
Rouse reflected from a distance. He, too, is familiar with fly-fishing’s healing properties and the struggles that military veterans face when returning from war. “I have walked in their boots,” he said. “I know what they are feeling.” In 1964, several weeks after graduating from Youngstown University, Rouse was drafted and assigned to the U.S. Army Security Agency. After two years in Vietnam, Rouse transferred to Bad Aibling Station in southern Germany, a key post for eavesdropping on Russian and Eastern European communications during the Cold War. He left the Army in 1968. Despite having a degree in mechanical engineering, Rouse found himself struggling to adjust to civilian life and bounced around from town to town with his Army buddies, working odd jobs to earn money. He eventually married, got a manufacturing job, and enrolled in night classes at the University of Pittsburgh, where he double majored in economics and psychology. But it wasn’t long after that Rouse began to experience the side effects of combat-related anxiety, including nightmares and explosive bouts of anger. While PTSD wasn’t formally recognized by the medical community until the 1980s, Rouse was able to find help through his academic adviser, who also happened to be the

dean of the sociology department. “He introduced me to the dean of the psychology department, and I would stop by after class and talk with them,” he said. “I think I was their project.” Rouse said he regularly contemplates his wartime experiences but doesn’t let it affect his daily life. He theorizes that many veterans struggle with PTSD due to guilt that stems from their failure to accept that events are predetermined and therefore inevitable. “Many people ask why they were spared, but there isn’t an answer to that question,” he said. “And if you can’t accept the fact that there’s no force making A or B happen, then it’s going to haunt you. We see it all the time.” After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, Rouse launched a successful career in marketing and sales and eventually relocated to Greenville. It wasn’t long after that Rouse began researching fly-fishing and joined Mountain Bridge Trout Unlimited. “I needed to know places to go, so I joined Trout Unlimited to learn the secret spots,” he said. Rouse spent several months learning about the sport and attending monthly meetings. But then a fellow member told him about Project Healing Waters. He was immediately hooked and decided to help launch the Upstate program. It has since
served 60 to 70 veterans. “It’s been exceptionally rewarding to watch this program change lives,” he said. “But it can be stressful at times.” Like any nonprofit, Project Healing Waters relies on private donations, grants, and government funding to operate. Rouse raises about $15,000 a year locally to help defray the costs of his program, which also receives free fly-fishing equipment and guide services from outdoor retailers, including Cabela’s and Chattooga River Fly Shop in Mountain Rest. Rouse said he plans to continue recruiting volunteers and raising funds. The program’s next fly-fishing trip will take place on Saturday, Nov. 17, along the Green River in North Carolina. All veterans or active-duty military with a disability are eligible to participate at no cost.

Surveys aim to identify workforce barriers in Greenville area CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
Public transportation and parking are the subject of an ongoing series of Workforce Data Collaborative surveys of area workers and employers. The collaborative’s survey of employers and employees in the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center and the surrounding Donaldson area will include child care, affordable housing, and criminal records, said Adrea Turner, director of talent and workforce solutions for the Greenville Chamber. “Those are other barriers to employment and career advancement,” she said. The SCTAC/Donaldson survey, which closes Nov. 16, is the third conducted by the collaborative, a joint effort of the chamber, the Greenville Area Development Corp., the Appalachian Council of Governments, and SC Works. Results of the collaborative’s survey for the Mauldin area will be released publically at 10 a.m. Nov. 9 at the Mauldin Cultural Center. Turner said just over 100 Mauldin surveys were received, but that it represented more than 2,100 employees. Brookfield, an office park near the intersection of Interstate 385 and Butler Road, is the home of several call centers. While Greenlink bus service is available downtown, it is not available to either Brookfield or SCTAC, both
of which are in the county, Turner said. The results of the surveys could inform changes that would enhance workforce participation and availability, she said. The surveys will gather information about where respondents work and live, which can then be used in transportation planning, she said. For instance, if data show that a high concentration of Brookfield or SCTAC employees live along the White Horse Road corridor, it could prompt discussion of a dedicated line or partnership discussions between the employers and Greenlink, she said. “It’s all about identifying and working to eliminate barriers to employment,” Turner said. The downtown survey showed that 92 percent of respondents drive to and from work alone, and that 67 percent of them said they don’t take the bus because they prefer to drive. Forty-one percent of respondents said they didn’t take public transportation because of inconvenient routes. Thirty percent said frequency of buses was inconvenient, while 22 percent cited inadequate hours of service. Parking, both availability and affordability, was also a concern to downtown workers and employers. The collaborative is considering conducting a similar survey in the Pelham Road area and one for Greenville County residents seeking work and those who could work but are not.

A letter for Veteran’s Day At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in the year of Our Lord 1918, World War I ended, and next Sunday is the centenary of the epochal day. Each year in the United States, we honor the valor of those who fought in the Great War with Veterans Day, while in Great Britain and throughout the Commonwealth of Nations, this observance is known as Remembrance Day. But the first name of this commemoration was Armistice Day because although Germany was defeated by the Allies, there was no formal surrender in the War to End All Wars. Rather, Germany simply agreed to cease hostilities and await the terms to be negotiated later, and that decision was therefore properly called an armistice – meaning an agreement to stop fighting. This distinction is important because while the shooting stopped at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918, the war was not really over. Twenty-one years of uneasy
peace were violently interrupted by Germany at the beginning of World War II on 1 September 1939, an event we will commemorate next year as the 80th anniversary of the start of the bloodiest conflict in human history. But if one sees the two World Wars and the Cold War that followed as one continuous conflict rather than as discrete events, then it is easier to grasp that in the last century Western Civilization very nearly committed suicide. The end of World War 1 saw the collapse of the German Empire, the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and from the wreckage of those failed societies arose the poisonous ideologies of Fascism, National Socialism, Communism, and Islamo-fascism. World War II claimed the lives of more than 80 million people on top of the 40 million who died during the Great War. If we add these numbers to the 10 million people murdered by
Stalin, the 45 million Chinese who perished under Mao, and the many other millions who died in genocides or wars in Armenia, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, then the butcher’s bill for the 20th century rises to more than 200 million people All of which should make us grateful for the valor of those in every time and place who have stood the breach, particularly those who fought to preserve civilization in the War to End All Wars. Next Sunday morning at 11 a.m., on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, pause wherever you are and remember the brave souls who defend ed liberty and gave to those who came after them the precious opportunity to start again in the constant work of building a culture of life, justice, and peace.

As Greenville grows, commute times get longer
YIELD
STORY BY CINDY LANDRUM If you find that your drive to and from work takes you longer than it used to, join the crowd. Average commute times rose to 20.9 minutes for city of Greenville residents in 2017, according to recently released U.S. Census Bureau data. That’s up from 16.9 minutes the year before. And commute times for residents in the rest of Greenville County are increasing as well, although not at the same rate. Average commuting time for Greenville County residents rose to 22.8 minutes in 2017, up from 22.7 minutes the year before, according to the data. The average commute time in 2001 was 19 minutes. While continued population growth and road construction undoubtedly contributed to the increased time Greenville residents are spending getting to and from work, experts say that gentrification may play a role, as well. With urban living growing in popularity and increased options with the development of new multifamily housing within the city’s core, more people are
living in downtown Greenville. But just because people of working age are moving downtown doesn’t mean their jobs have moved with them. David Miller moved to downtown Greenville from Greer less than a month ago. He works in Spartanburg County. “There’s so much going on in downtown Greenville that the extra time on
the road is worth it to me. I like where I live now,” he said. But while Miller moved to downtown, others are moving farther from the city’s core because of rising housing costs. “Gentrification could be a factor,” said Amy Jonason, a professor of sociology at Furman University who studies urban poverty, gentrification, and affordable

housing. “People are moving farther out to find housing they can afford.” The average commute times in Greenville County are below the state average. With continued population growth and more development on the urban fringe expected in Greenville County, the time residents spend to get to and from work could keep rising. While Greenville County commute times are rising, they are still shorter than in some areas of South Carolina, which has an average commute time of 24 minutes. The national average is 26.9 minutes. Five Forks and Berea residents face 24-minute average commutes, homearea. com said. Powdersville residents have an average commute of 19 minutes, according to homearea.com. If you want one of the nation’s shortest commute times, move to Columbia. Residents there have an average commute of 15.2 minutes, the third-fastest in the nation, according to homearea.com.

COMMUNITY
Couple’s legacy MATTERS supports Greenville Homeless Alliance GIVING
presented by the Community Foundation of Greenville

Join us at Woodlawn Memorial Park on
National Wreaths Across America Day REMEMBER the Fallen... HONOR those who Serve...
Community Foundation gift honors their wishes to assist families in crisis While they were living, J.C. and Dorothy Frazier served their country in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and later cared for Greenville-area pets through their veterinary practice, Frazier Animal Hospital. So it’s no surprise that the couple wanted to continue to be a force for good in the community beyond their lifetime. “Before Mrs. Frazier passed away in 2015, she visited the Community Foundation with her attorney to discuss the possibility of creating an endowed fund with a bequest in their name,” said Bob Morris, president of the Community Foundation. “She shared her desire to support animals, the elderly, and families in crisis. It was this endowment that made it possible for us to make a contribution of $50,000 this summer to the Greenville Homeless Alliance.” The Greenville Homeless Alliance is a collaboration of individuals and organizations seeking or creating solutions for individuals and families that lack a fixed, regular, or adequate nighttime residence. “Because of the Community Foundation’s support, collaborative efforts led by the Greenville Homeless Alliance are working to make homelessness brief and rare as we pursue our shared vision of safe, affordable homes for all in Greenville,” said Susan McLarty, coordinator for the Greenville Homeless Alliance. In addition to raising awareness and advocating for broader system-level changes to reduce homelessness, the GHA facilitates cooperation among member organizations, allowing them to respond more quickly and efficiently to ongoing and emergent needs. One example of such efforts is the creation of a Motel Closure Response Plan. After the Economy Inn motel was condemned in January, leaving about 150 residents with nowhere to go, GHA leaders began working on a response plan to prepare for future closures. On Aug. 7, 20 vol-
unteers ranging in age from their teens to 70s participated in a simulation of a motel closure. The exercise revealed a need for more shelter capacity to handle sudden homelessness, regardless of the cause. “This plan puts in motion a response by 35 organizations of over 80 commitments of resources during a future motel closure,” McLarty said. “Other cities are requesting information on this uniquely Greenville cooperative plan between government and nonprofits.” GHA is also working to expand permanent supportive housing for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, defined as being homeless for one year or more, or for intervals totaling one year over the past three years. “GHA collected economic data of 92 percent overall cost reduction to taxpayers from a local, evidence-based model, Reedy Place, built and managed by United Housing Connections,” McLarty said. “Some of our partners were inspired to assist in ensuring the sustainability of Reedy Place, and developing more housing of this type.” Housing instability causes academic challenges for students, so GHA is working to ensure that families with children in Greenville County Schools who experience homelessness find stable interim housing as a bridge to attaining a permanent home. With partners, they are developing Second Chance, a training and certification program for parents with multiple evictions, collaborating with property managers to give families a second chance, and strengthening wraparound services that support stabilization of housing. “Based on data from Public Education Partners, increasing the high school graduation rate from 87 percent to 90 percent would increase economic activity in the Greenville metropolitan area by $9.4 million in a single year,” McLarty said. “We are shifting the mindset to ‘This is not only the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do.’”
TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
December 15, 2018 at 12:00 PM Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 1,400 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad.

For anyone familiar with South Carolina’s annual school and district report cards, this year’s version will not only look completely different, but will also highlight new data than in previous years. The report cards, which have been updated to follow the federal guidelines for the Every Student Succeeds Act, will have five ratings schools can earn: unsatisfactory, below average, average, good, and excellent. In previous years, the “unsatisfactory” rating was termed “at-risk.” This is the first time schools will be rated since 2014, when legislators paused the ratings amid changes in standardized tests. They will be released to the public Nov. 15. But the ratings won’t only compare the performance of schools with each other in the state, they will also take into account how South Carolina schools have performed nationally. Melody Barton is the executive director of the Education Oversight Committee, a government agency that helped develop the new report cards with the South Carolina Department of Education. “By state law, we have to agree on how to rate schools. Like, what does it mean to be an excellent school?” Barton said. “So with this new accountability system, that included multiple measures — academic performance, college and career readiness, student engagement.” But because the state didn’t have any data to determine just how many schools statistically would earn an excellent rating versus an average one, education leaders turned to the National Assessment of Educational Progress from 2015, which is also known as the “nation’s report card.” The NAEP tests students in every state in fourth grade and eighth grade in math, reading, science, and writing. The 2015 NAEP data was the most recent national comparison data the state had for each subject area in December 2017 — when leaders were determining what the report card rating scale would be in 2018. South Carolina has ranked low in education on several national assessments and rankings — the NAEP, the ACT, and in U.S. News and World Report’s annual rankings. In the 2017 U.S. News and World Report rankings, South Carolina
came in dead last for education. On the 2015 NAEP, between 25 and 37 percent of South Carolina students performed at or above proficient on the national test. Barton said it wouldn’t be an accurate representation of the state’s schools to compare them only with each other and not nationally — if 21-35 percent of students are scoring “below basic” on the NAEP, it would make sense that 21-35 percent of schools are performing “below average” or “unsatisfactory” on their report cards. “What the committee said was if 25-37 percent of our students are scoring at the top level on NAEP, then we would expect roughly 35 percent of our schools to be excellent or good,” Barton said. “You can’t say 50 percent of our schools are excellent or good when you have this national assessment that shows only 25-37 percent of our students are performing at this level.” So on Nov. 15, about 15 percent of schools in South Carolina will be rated “excellent” based on their performance in several categories, 20 percent will be rated “good,” 35 percent will be rated “average,” 20 percent will be “below average,” and 10 percent will be “unsatisfactory.” Along with a new rating system, the report cards will feature several new pieces of data, including EVAAS scores and the number of juvenile arrests made on campus. EVAAS — which stands for Education Value-Added Assessment System — is a scoring system that looks at student growth year-over-year at a school rather than student performance on one assessment for elementary and middle schools. EVAAS doesn’t track individual students each year, but it does compare students of the same demographics and academic performance from one year to the next. “If you’ve got really low-performing students initially in ’16-17, it will show you how much they grew in comparison to other students in the state who started off at the same level,” Barton said. The EVAAS scores are a boost for schools in areas of high poverty with traditionally lower academic performance. “It will show you the growth of your lowest-achieving and your highest-achieving,” Barton said. The report cards will also show the number of juvenile arrests made on campus, except the data will be from the 201516 school year, and not 2017-18.

St. Joseph’s Catholic School to update curb appeal
We always let you know who will be there when you open the door!
ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF
agilreath@communityjournals.com
Greenville’s largest Catholic high school is doing a major update to its front entrance, which has remained largely unchanged since the school opened. St. Joseph’s Catholic School, founded in 1993, serves middle and high school students throughout the Upstate. Shortly after it opened, the school, which originally operated out of a small house, moved to a vacant fibers plant owned by Amoco, and it remain in that site off Laurens Road today. The school still operates in the original building, which has been updated throughout the years with add-ons and renovations. But one building has sat untouched in front of the school since Amoco workers abandoned it. Up until the demolition process started this fall, there were still coffee mugs and items workers left behind when they vacated it. The vacant building is set to be demolished over winter break and will make room for a new building containing a student center/cafeteria. Much of the school’s master plan is already underway, but some of the larger projects won’t be complete until next fall. One major update will primarily affect the school’s curb appeal. The traffic pattern in the front entrance — which faces Interstate 85 — will be redrawn to make way for a fountain featuring a statue of a Catholic figure — likely St. Joseph. Sarah Pelicano, director of communications at the school, said the updates will enhance the school’s aesthetics, but the reasons behind the renovations are more than curb appeal.

“Because this is a place that we came into and had to make our own, visually, it’s not 100 percent on point with our educational mission,” Pelicano said. Pelicano said the art will help distinguish the school from traditional ones and highlight its mission, which combines academic goals with a Catholic/Christian perspective.
OTHER PROJECTS LISTED IN THE SCHOOL’S MASTER PLAN 2019: Lights for tennis courts. 2019: Batting cage and dugouts for baseball stadium. 2025: Renovate the existing administration building and cafeteria. 2027: Renovate/reconfigure older high school science labs. 2028: Extend practice field and move softball field. 2029: Expand student parking lot and build underground detention.

Audrey Lee (Hindman) Waddell February 13, 1930 ~ November 4, 2018
Audrey Lee Hindman Waddell, 88, passed away Sunday, November 4, 2018, after a brief illness. Born on February 13, 1930, in Armstrong County, PA, she was the daughter of the late Russell Hindman and Nell Yount Hindman Varner and the widow of retired Air Force Major Ruben Waddell. Audrey grew up on a family farm in Shay, PA, and graduated in 1947 from Kittanning (PA) High School. She met her future husband as he prepared to attend officer training school and learn how to become a pilot. They married in 1951. Audrey raised three small children as her husband deployed to temporary duty assignments around the world, becoming a “neighborhood mother” wherever they lived, finally settling in Greenville’s Belle Meade neighborhood. She was a giving person who loved her church, St. Michael’s Lutheran, and only stopped attending regularly in the past year. Audrey also loved her neighbors in the Swansgate Retirement Community. Survivors include her son, Billy Waddell of Easley, and Cynthia White Waddell; daughter, Eileen Waddell and her husband, Wim Roefs, of Columbia; daughter, Cheryl Waddell Begley and her husband, Jim Begley, of Cary, NC; two
g ra n d d a u g h te r s , Clara Waddell Nunamaker and her husband, Taylor Nunamaker, of Woodruff, and Turner Waddell of Pike Road, AL; a sister-in-law, Becky Hindman of Ford City, PA; a niece and four nephews; and a longtime special friend, Arnold Darnell of Greenville. She was predeceased by her parents; her husband; her brother, Russell Hindman of Pittsburgh, PA; her sister, Lois Swank and her husband, Glenn Swank, of Mechanicsburg, PA; brotherin-law, Robert Waddell of Greenville, MS; and brother- and sister-in-law, Theron Boal and Jean Waddell Boal of Fenelton, PA. Visitation was held Wednesday, November 7, 2018, at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church , The funeral service followed in the sanctuary. Burial was held in Greenville Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Michael’s Lutheran Church, 2619 Augusta Rd., Greenville, SC, 29605. Thomas McAfee Funeral Home, Downtown.
February 1, 2002 – October 30, 2018 Andrew James Weaver, 16, of Taylors, went to be with Jesus on October 30, 2018. The son of Jay and Kim Weaver of Taylors, SC, Andrew attended Wade Hampton High School where he was a member of the senior class. In addition to his parents, Andrew is survived by his sisters Sarah (Lance) Rogers of Charlotte, NC, and Katie Weaver, and Emily Weaver, both of the home. Also surviving are his grandparents Jerry and Gloria Weaver and Wyndel and Len Cooper, all of Greenville, and great-grandmothers Gloria Elledge of Duncan and Shirley Smothers of Greenville. Andrew always had a smile on his face and was full of energy, a lover of life and challenges, a wakeboarder, daredevil, inventor, prankster, fisherman, and gamer. He was a kind, thoughtful, caring son, grandson, brother, brotherin-law, cousin, nephew, and friend, and most importantly a soul saved by grace to spend eternity with
his Redeemer, Jesus Christ. As much as these words offer some description of who Andrew was, they do not come close to describing the way he could touch someone’s heart. He was always there for an encouraging word or a quick-witted joke to make you laugh. He loved everyone, and everyone loved him. Andrew, you will be missed every day and our memories of you will never fade. The impression you left on this world is everlasting. We will miss you terribly, but we know we will see you again. A Celebration of Life service was held on Saturday, November 3rd, 2018 in the Taylors First Baptist Church sanctuary. Memorials are being accepted for Fireweed Ministry, PO Box 770195, Eagle River, AK 97577 or Miracle Hill Childrens Home, PO Box 2546, Greenville, SC 29602.

LAWN & LANDSCAPES
Want lush plants and shrubs this spring? Plant now As the winter chill eases, thoughts of dead grass and barren yards turn to springtime blossoms and greenery. But, if you want a spring-ready yard, don’t make the all-too-common mistake of waiting until spring to plant, says Reggie Meehan, president of Martin Garden Center. “Fall is the best time for planting shrubs and trees in the Southeast. So, now is the time to revamp that landscape,” Meehan says. If you wait until spring, plants have too many demands
1 Amend your soil The Upstate has clay soil, which is rich in minerals, but can retain too much water. Promote drainage by tilling your soil and adding mushroom compost or a mixture of shredded bark and soil conditioner.
on them. There isn’t enough time to establish a root system, grow, bud, and bloom, according to Meehan. Meehan says that fall is prime-planting time because our local temperatures don’t drop enough to kill the plants, and it’s warm enough for a root system to take hold. Unless we have an unusually cold winter, plants and shrugs will survive and thrive by spring, she says. Follow these four tips from Martin Garden Center to have healthy plants and shrubs this spring.
2 Fertilize Fertilizer contains elements like nitrogen and phosphorous that are beneficial to your plants. Nitrogen is essential for healthy plant growth and phosphorous promotes healthy root development.
What’s your question? Each week, local experts will answer questions from readers about lawns, landscapes and gardens. To submit your question, visit our website: GreenvilleJournal.com/homes.
3 Don’t overwater Know how and when to water your plants. Too much water restricts the plant’s oxygen supply and kills the root. Overwatering is the most frequent cause of plant death.
4 Mulch properly Mulch should be placed a slight amount away from the plant’s trunk system. Beware of colored mulch because the salt used in the coloring can kill plants.
Live your life, Love your home.

‘afroart’ Exhibit showcases beauty of natural hair

Kahran and Regis Bethencourt, the people behind CreativeSoul Photography, have been photographing children’s fashion for about nine years, but it wasn’t until 2014 that they noticed a recurring trend in photographing African-American children: They weren’t being encouraged to be themselves. “We noticed a couple of things,” Kahran Bethencourt says. “There was a huge gap in diversity in a lot of major kids fashion magazines and publications and we saw that parents would send in photos of their kids with natural afro hair, and when they came into the studio, the parents had straightened their hair because that’s what they thought they needed to do to conform and make it in this industry.” Logan, South Carolina
“We thought that was kind of sad,” she says. “We decided to do a personal project where we showcased three young girls with their natural hair.” The first project included taking three African-American girls to Times Square in New York City and photographing them with natural hair in high-fashion outfits. “By the time we got back off the plane people were already sharing it and that’s when we started to do more shoots with kids of color and their natural hair,” Kahran says. The photography couple had humble beginnings. “Regis went to school for photography, and I decided that I was just going to learn along with him,” Kahran says. “We

actually did our first shoot in my mom’s garage here in Greenville.” Kahran Bethencourt is a native of Greenville, so having the exhibit here is exciting for her. “This will be our first official exhibit,” she says. “We have done a few in Georgia with local libraries but this is our first official one and we are really excited to be doing it in South Carolina since I’m a Carolina girl. It’s exciting to be coming back.” After the “AfroArt” series was released, it gained some serious attention. The collection of photographs was featured by Vanity Fair, DailyMail, Glamour, Buzzfeed, BET, CBS, BBC News, and more. There have also been a fair amount of celebrities who have taken note of the colMylah, New York
lection. Taraji P. Henson, Alicia Keys, and American rapper Common all praised the work on social media and even ordered calendars of the photos. Additionally, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, cofounder of the Black Lives Matter movement, said, “Kahran and Regis show the stunning natural beauty of black children that traditional media too often ignores. ...These are not just photographs, this is artistically, politically, and socially important work.” Kahran says she knows how important her work is because of the feedback she

has continued to receive. “A lot of people mentioned to us that they wished they had these type of images growing up,” she says. “A lot of AfricanAmerican kids don’t see their hair as beautiful or themselves as beautiful and so it’s really good to have images like these to show that they are beautiful too.” The message resonates with her personally as well, she says, because “I think that because they didn’t have these images growing up and a lot of us were pressured to change our hair and our identity to conform to what we thought society expected of us. I think that people really identify with these kids being able to come out and say ‘This is who I am’ and ‘Accept me and love me for who I am’.” The Bethencourts are a team, and Kahran says they could not have found such success without each other. “We both shoot and Reg is the magic man behind the scenes,” she explains. “I usually come up with the crazy ideas and he is making it happen behind the scene. It’s a really solid partnership and we really do all of this together.” As for the future, CreativeSoul Photography is currently putting together a book that will comprise the Bethencourts’

“AfroArt” series and new environmental portraits they have taken while traveling. Through talking to and hearing stories of children all over the world, they are able to further tell the story of these kids. “The cool thing is that were able to showcase and highlight stories from kids around the world. So far we’ve been to London, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, were going to Brazil, the U.S. and we are just meeting and sharing some really amazing stories,” Kahran says. “There are so many different kids with different backgrounds and amazing stories. It has been a real pleasure for us to capture them in a unique and different way. I would say it’s still our style of visual storytelling, just a
little different.” The book is slated to be released in fall 2019. The Greenville exhibit will have an opening reception at which Kahran will showcase her work. While she’s in town, Kahran says, she hopes to take the photos back to her roots. “We’ve never done “AfroArt” in South Carolina so we’re thinking about planning some “AfroArt” sessions and take it back to where we started in my mom’s garage,” she says. “Obviously the results are gonna be really different but it will be really fun for our clients to have some southern hospitality to go along with the work that were doing all around the world.”

Atlas Road Crew goes for darker, more atmospheric sounds on latest album VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER
vharris@communityjournals.com
“Halfway to Hopkins,” the 2015 debut album by the Charleston band Atlas Road Crew, was a deep dive into classic rock ’n’ roll by a bunch of guys who were barely out of college. The twin guitar attack was pure Stones (with a dash of The Black Crowes); the album’s opening track, “Voices,” had an instant-classic ascending chorus that sounded tailor-made for the car radio; and everything about the album, from Taylor Nicholson’s gritty howl of a voice to the riffs to the strictly analog keyboards, was a down-the-line dose of old-school Southern-tinged rock. And it caught on in a way the band hadn’t expected. “Halfway to Hopkins” brought Atlas Road Crew a devoted following around the world and a ton of critical praise, from a four-star review in local publications like the South Carolina Music Guide to a rave from the national magazine Relix. The band played about 200 shows in that first year after the release of “Hopkins,” and they were able to gain enough momentum to launch a three-month European tour, playing in Germany, Spain, Belgium, and France to packed houses. So the safe, and perhaps logical, thing for the band to do next was make “Halfway to Hopkins Vol. 2.” It’s something of a surprise, then, that their new album, “Chasing Fire,” is a fairly bold departure. Instead of straight-ahead rock ’n’ roll, the band went for a darker, more
atmospheric approach, weaving synthesizers and electronics into their guitar-heavy attack. There’s a pronounced, polished feel to the more modern-sounding songs on “Chasing Fire,” though the hooks and melodies are just as strong as the band’s first album. Working with indie-pop singer-songwriter Stephen Fiore (aka Young Mister) and noted Charleston producer Wolfgang Zimmerman, the band sounds decidedly more mature this time. “The songs on the first album were very raw and innocent,” says Atlas Road Crew’s singer-guitarist Taylor Nicholson. “We’d have a song idea, throw some lyrics on it, and if it felt good, it worked. The second album had a lot more thought to it. We loved ‘Halfway to Hopkins’ and we were really pleased with the way it turned out, but I think this one is more of an experimental album where we were trying out different approaches to songwriting.” Nicholson co-wrote an initial set of four songs with Fiore during occasional visits back to Charleston while touring, and he says they mostly had an “acoustic singersongwriter vibe.” It was only after they went into the studio with Zimmerman, who’s produced albums by Susto, Brave Baby, and Heyrocco, that the true sound of “Chasing Fire” began to take shape.

“We showed the songs to [Zimmerman] and he’d say, ‘Maybe we’ll change these chords here, or change the speed here,’” Nicholson says, “but the lyrics and the melody, we stayed true to. It was kind of cool to turn a sappy love song into a weird rock ’n’ roll tune.” “Chasing Fire” took about a year to make, and Nicholson says that being able to record at home in Charleston made them feel more comfortable with taking some chances. “The pressure’s always there because you want to prove yourself and create something you’re proud of,” he says, “but it was easier in the bigger picture, because we were home, sleeping in our own beds, not in some hotel. We recorded ‘Halfway to Hopkins’ in Atlanta for a few days, then in Columbia for a few days, and then in Charleston, so if you were listening to something you weren’t crazy about, you couldn’t just stop by the studio and
change the part.” If you were a fan of the old “Halfway to Hopkins” rockers, though, Atlas Road Crew’s show at the Radio Room on Friday night will still scratch that itch. “I think we have been able to put these songs into the set with the older songs and they sound pretty good,” Nicholson says. “On the album we have a lot more electronics and synths, but with the live show we don’t have those bells and whistles. I actually like some of those songs live more than on the actual record.”

Marcus King Band embraces ‘idea of Americana roots music’
AR TS C ALENDAR NOV. 9-15 Carolina Music Museum Pan Harmonia Nov. 9 ~ 520-8807
VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER
vharris@communityjournals.com
Greenville’s Marcus King Band has spent the last two or three years becoming one of the fastest-rising groups in the country. Led by their namesake’s fiery, jaw-dropping guitar skills, the six-piece group has toured the world, been featured in Guitar Player magazine, appeared on “CBS This Morning” and “Conan,” and watched as their eponymous 2016 album (produced by Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule and the Allman Brothers Band) rose to No. 2 on Billboard magazine’s blues charts. So the smart thing to do when it came time to record their follow-up album would’ve been to lay down 10 blues-rock scorchers, the kind that emphasized the guitar wizardry that King has been spinning out since he was 8 years old, and give the people what they wanted. But that wasn’t in the agenda for King or his band. Their just-out album, “Carolina Confessions,” does have its share of awe-inspiring six-string work, and there are a couple of grinding blues-rockers like the smoking ballad “Confessions” and the sinister, album-closing epic “Welcome ’Round Here.” But for the most part, “Carolina Confessions” is an expansion on the band’s sound, working in horn-spiked R&B numbers (“How Long”), wistful acoustic ballads (“Autumn Rains”), nimble, spacious funk (“Homesick”), and nods to country-gospel (“Where I’m Headed”). King says the album, produced by Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile) is a response to the evolution of his band over the last three years. “We’ve grown a lot together as a band and developed more of a vision of what we wanted to do,” he says. “So my writing style changed because of that influence.” In the Upstate, we’ve known about the 22-year-old King’s guitar skills for quite a while now, so his incredible solos on “Carolina Confessions” won’t be much of a surprise. His singing, however, has taken a quantum leap. King sounds soulful, confident, and in command of his voice on the new album, singing in a husky growl reminiscent of the great Gregg Allman. “I feel more like a singer now than I ever have,” King says. “There was always part of me that was insecure about my voice,

“I feel more like a singer now than I ever have. There was always part of me that was insecure about my voice, and I still am sometimes, but now it feels like an extension of what I want to say on guitar. I’m able to express myself fully with my voice and my guitar playing now, and it’s nice to have another outlet.” Marcus King
and I still am sometimes, but now it feels like an extension of what I want to say on guitar. I’m able to express myself fully with my voice and my guitar playing now, and it’s nice to have another outlet.” King says that some of his newfound confidence has simply come from the hundreds of shows the band has spent the last few years playing, and some of it has come from watching the other artists
they’ve performed with. “I watched people like [former Black Crowes singer] Chris Robinson, who really influenced me with the way he used his voice,” King says, “and his confidence onstage and offstage.” As for working with Cobb, one of the most in-demand producers on the music scene right now, King says it was a collaboration that felt like it was meant to be. “First of all, he’s a fantastic human being, and I knew that within the first five minutes of talking to him,” King says. “He’s from Savannah, Georgia, and I’m from Greenville, so we had similar upbringings. We had a great dialogue right off the bat, and I knew it was going to be kismet. As a producer, he’d say what he was thinking and from there we’d work it out as a band. He’d also play acoustic guitar on the tracks and be in the room with us recording, so it was a more intimate approach to production.” But it wasn’t King’s increased confidence as a singer or a good relationship with his producer that fueled the expansive sound of “Carolina Confessions.” “We’re trying to blur the lines,” King says. “It’s something I’ve always thought was important. We don’t want to be regarded as one particular genre, whether that’s blues or rock. We encompass the idea of Americana roots music, from funk to country to gospel, jazz, and rock ’n’ roll. We have people in the group that are coming from all these different schools of thought.”

a Meet the team behind the soon-to-open Mexican social club, El Thrifty WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS
n appreciation for authentic Mexican cuisine and culture has brought together the leadership of El Thrifty, the Mexican cantina and social club at 25 Delano Drive that will open in the coming weeks. Charleston-based chef Robert Berry, vice president of El Thrifty Hospitality, along with his Greenville team, managing partner and general manager Andrea Ciavardini and executive chef Justin Serwetz, will bring to life the hospitality group’s vision of providing true Mexican cuisine in a fun atmosphere in the 7,300-square-foot renovated warehouse along the Greenville Hospital System Swamp Rabbit Trail. The full-service, 230-seat restaurant with indooroutdoor bar, patio, and 2,000 square feet of green space will eventually serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with a focus on authentic Mexican dishes and craft cocktails created with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Management is planning on a tiered rollout of service — first lunch and dinner and a full bar, then breakfast and brunch once they feel like the new staff is ready. And while fun and entertainment are a clear goal, with about a third of the indoor space dedicated to high-end gaming such as foosball, billiards, Mexican feather bowling, pingpong, and shuffleboard, education about the cuisine and agave spirits is a key aspect of the concept. “I think the American perception of Mexican food is, there’s so many chains and stuff, it’s all beans and rice, tortillas, melted cheese, and that’s kind of the extent of it,” Berry says. “It all seems soggy and kind of a day old. And that is absolutely not what’s done in Mexico. Mexican food and drink, which is equally as important, there are so many flavors and so many different methods and techniques. These people — one of the reasons I enjoy Mexico — is they eat and drink all day. All day. You can be on the street and have 15 types of fruit, 15 types of juice. Something’s available to put in your mouth all day, and it’s bright and it’s vibrant.” Berry’s passion stems from his time working long hours in kitchens in New York City. “All of the people I worked with in New York
were Mexican,” he says. “I spent a lot more time with my kitchen guys and gals than with my wife, so I ate their food, spoke their language, kind of integrated into their culture, and found it to be fascinating. I started cooking them food, and we started trading ideas, and it just became another page in the book of different cuisine to explore. I started traveling [to Mexico], trying to meet people and understand what they were doing. [I] read about the history of it — very rich culinary traditions.” Those experiences eventually led Berry to open Pancito & Lefty in Charleston, where he hired Serwetz, who had previously worked with chef Sean Brock in his Mexican concept Minero. Serwetz’s experience with Mexican culture began at birth, living in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California. “I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a taqueria some days,” he says. “It’s part of the culture. You have to take Spanish since you’re a little kid in school. It’s just much more integrated. You don’t even think about it. It’s just kind of naturally part of the culture in California.” Serwetz and Berry plan to roll out a menu at first that is more recognizable to the public, and then start adding more adventurous items as guests are receptive. And that means more than just tacos, since true Mexican cuisine, such as from Mexico City, represents a melting-pot variety of flavors, techniques, and ingredients. “Mexico City is like New York,” Berry says, referring to the wide variety of cultures represented in the large city. Berry says as his team continues to look for kitchen staff, they want cooks who are curious and want to learn. “Justin is a great teacher,” he says. “Mexican food might seem not so familiar to some people, but it is fun to learn and fun to be taught, and you can walk away with some valuable knowledge that can up your whole cooking game. It’s definitely not based on traditional French-style cookery. There’s lots of open fire. There’s lots of roasting.” Ciavardini, who moved to Greenville to open Husk 18 months ago, also shares similar memories of traveling in Mexico and dining on the freshest street food in Guadalajara. She will manage the restaurant, with a main focus on the front of the house. “Guest experience is first and foremost,” she says. “That’s always how it’s been for me. We’re in the business of hospitality, and that’s the business of saying ‘yes.’ We want people to have a great time.” The idea is for El Thrifty guests to feel welcome and comfortable at any time of day or night, she says. “To get there at 8 in the morning, you can sit at the coffee bar, drink Methodical Coffee, work on your computer, have a pastry, have a breakfast burrito, whatever it may be, and work your day through there,” she says. “Or a group of co-workers want to do a team-building event at 12 o’clock on a Tuesday, and come in and play feather bowling, and go straight into happy hour, dinner service, and late night. It offers everything.” El Thrifty is hiring for all positions. Visit elthrifty. com for more information, and follow their progress on Instagram @elthrifty.

Mozart: A Family Affair Father and son share the stage in our most popular Chamber Orchestra concert of the season, our all-Mozart program, featuring the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his father, Leopold.
AROUND TOWN Events & Happenings Coffee above ground Coffee on Stone, what the second location of downtown staple Coffee Underground has been named, opened without much fanfare last week in the Westone development at 109 W. Stone Ave. Full coffee options are available, and every day they’re adding more food offerings. The vibe inside is similar in color palette to the original location, but the familiar, well-worn love seats and coffee tables have been traded in for banquette seating and two-tops. In the adjoining space next door, the World Piece restaurant concept from CU’s owner Dana Lowie is on the verge of opening, as well. I’m told it should be soon, and all the North Main-Stone Avenue residents can rejoice!
The Big Easy on Main The next closest thing to a New Orleans drive thru daiquiri shop opened Nov. 5 at 116 N. Main St: Frozen N’awlins-style drinks are on the menu of the second Greenville location of The Lost Cajun. The new location was announced this summer when Clay Eaddy, owner of The Lost Cajun franchise at 3612 Pelham Road, Suite A, purchased business assets from Bottle Cap Group and took over its lease for the space that was formerly Wu’s Cajun Sea Food. The food menu, which features gumbo and beignets, is exactly the same as the other franchise location, but Eaddy said previously he’s hoping a main draw will be the frozen hurricanes and daiquiris (with virgin ones for kids). With around 70 seats, the restaurant will serve lunch and dinner every day and will likely stay open later on weekends.

Paul’s Pick...
BJU Classic Players bring ‘King Lear’ to stage
PAUL HYDE | CONTRIBUTOR
P
aul’s Pick of the Week: This week’s spotlight is on towering Shakespeare courtesy of Bob Jones University. Why you should see ‘King Lear’: Shakespeare occupies a special place at Bob Jones University. Generations of BJU’s Classic Players have been performing the Bard once or twice a year since the
university was founded in 1927. “We want to do the best,” said stage director David Schwingle, reflecting on the university’s longtime commitment to Shakespeare. “In some ways, we’ve been a resident Southern Shakespeare company for 90 years.” Clarity and fluidity — sensitive attention to the text — are the hallmarks of these dynamic productions. The Classic
Players’ “King Lear,” Nov. 15-17, features Ron Pyle (a memorable Richard III in 2014) in the title role of Lear, the aging English king who decides to divide his kingdom among his daughters, bringing tragic consequences for all. Lear is one of the most demanding roles in theater. “This is the mountain a Shakespearean actor has to climb,” Schwingle said. “It’s a marathon, or actually more of a triathlon. There’s a swim, there’s a bike ride and a marathon at the end of it. That’s what playing Lear is like for an actor.” Schwingle’s staging sets the tragedy at a time of tumultuous change, as the Victorian era gave way to the Edwardian period and World War I loomed. It was a time of uncertainty and leadership failure — two big themes in “Lear,” Schwingle said. “The period is 1890 to 1914,” Schwingle said. “There’s a sense of the older generation giving way to the younger generation, and war approaching. There’s unease and anxiety. In ‘Lear,’ the change of leadership is definitely not handled well. Lear wants all the rights and power without any of the responsibilities of leadership.” Those ideas are relevant today as well. “Whatever side of the political divide you’re on, there’s a sense in which we’re in those tumultuous times again,” Schwingle said. At the same time, “Lear” is also a domestic drama about a father and his three daughters. “He clearly loves one child more than the others and that ruins the relationships and drives all sides to be very cruel to each other,” Schwingle said. This “Lear” features several theater faculty members who are veterans of the BJU stage. In addition to Pyle, the cast includes Lonnie Polson, a commanding “Othello” from 2012, playing Kent. Darren Lawson, another familiar leading actor and BJU

faculty member, is Gloucester. The full cast of more than two dozen features BJU faculty, staff and students. “From the beginning, Bob Jones University wanted to have the performing arts to be a vibrant part of student life,” Schwingle said. “The founders didn’t want to just talk about the great works in the Western canon, they wanted to produce them on stage.” The Classic Players last performed “King Lear” in 2005.

Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles
The Firmament, 5 Market Point Drive | 9 p.m. | $20-$25
CONCERT
Singer-keyboardist Cory Henry earned his stripes as a successful gospel singer before moving on to perform with Bruce Springsteen, The Roots, P. Diddy, and cult favorites Snarky Puppy. And it might sound like his new band, The Funk Apostles, are an all-night danceparty kind of group. But on their new, six-song EP “Art of Love,” Henry and company prove they’re a lot subtler than that. The grooves on songs like “In the Water” and “Our Affairs” are sinuous and skeletal, relying on subtle, muted bass lines, slippery drumming, and Henry’s tasty, tasteful organ playing to make their point. Henry’s vocals are equally shaded and exploratory; he pushes against the rhythms and stretches the verses of his songs, playing around with the tunes like a jazz singer. It’s a loaded comparison to make, but there are moments on “Art of Love” where he resembles a prime-period, early 1970s Al Green, shadow boxing with the melodies and taking them in unexpected directions.

Pablopalooza II, with Apricot Blush, Daddy’s Beemer, Hugger Mugger, Wallpaper, J.S. Terry, Prozac Dreams, Gardeners Radio Room | 110 Poinsett Highway | 7 p.m.
CONCERT
Middle Ages and the Renaisssance to the history of the Bible and Christian thought, Cook will offer new insights in to the selections now on view at the GCMA.
The concept of Pablopalooza takes a bit of explaining. Pablo is the name of a popular house-show venue in Clemson, and the venue has nurtured a series of young bands like Tom Angst, Wallpaper, Daddy’s Beemer, and Prozac Dreams, all under the collective “Pablo Generation” moniker. The first multiband Pablopalooza festival in 2017 was created to raise money for these bands’ touring, recording, and merchandising efforts. But, oddly enough, the first Pablopalooza didn’t actually take place at Pablo. “It was odd calling it Pablopalooza and not having it at Pablo,” says Wesley Heaton, one of Pablo’s proprietors and a member of Daddy’s Beemer. “But we wanted to have this festival-style event, and we knew that if we had something like that at the house then it would definitely get shut down.” So they held it at Radio Room in Greenville. Heaton and company have expanded this year’s Pablopalooza to include a day at Pablo and a day at Radio Room. “We’ve tried to expand it a little bit by keeping the bigger acts at the Radio Room and having an extra day at Pablo,” Heaton says, “but the goal is still fundraising, so we can continue to support the music culture in Clemson and the Upstate.”

Advance Base
Chicago’s Advance Base used to be a fullfledged band effort, but due to the different members’ job and familial obligations, singersongwriter and multi-instrumentalist Owen Ashworth typically ended up on the road by himself, playing his melancholy indie-synth-pop using keyboards, electronic loops, and pedals. After a while, it just made sense for Ashworth to do it all himself both in the studio and on Photo by Monika Rivard the road. “There’s a lot of freedom,” he says of being a one-man band. “It’s a very direct form of personal expression. And I enjoy the traveling on my own. When I’m at home, I’m with my wife and kids, and when I go on the road, that’s about the only time I have to myself; it really balances me out, and that’s usually when I’m thinking about new material.” Ashworth says he’s looking forward to returning to Greenville’s Cabin Floor Records because of both the atmosphere and the response his music has gotten in the past. “It’s the room where a lot of people heard my music for the first time,” he says. “And any opportunity I have to play somewhere other than a bar, it feels like a real blessing. I love a close intimate space like that.”
