A “one-of-a-kind” proposed events center on the banks of the Reedy River in downtown Greenville would be a major draw for conferences, increase tourism and spur job growth, according to developers, and local and state officials. The new facility would be built on 6.7 acres owned by prominent developers Phil Hughes and Bo Aughtry between River and Academy streets across from the Embassy Suites. It would include an events venue with a ballroom nearly double the size of the Hyatt’s, two art museums, a 60-foot tall “jewel box” and a parking garage. The event center has a cantilever design. There would be an electronic video screen underneath the floor of the cantilever. The top would be a park, Hughes said. The conference center has a price tag of more than $100 million, including the value of the donated land. Aughtry said the center could spur more

THE ART OF DISPLAY

PROPOSED DOWNTOWN E VENTS CENTER WOULD OFFER GRE ATER VISIBILIT Y & MORE SPACE FOR MUSEUMS

Museum & Gallery is looking for a new home off the Bob Jones University campus for its famed collection of religious artwork. The Greenville County Museum of Art needs more exhibit space. If plans for a proposed events center in downtown Greenville are realized, both museums will get the space they need as well as increased visibility and accessibility in what developers, and museum and city officials, say would be a one-of-a-kind project. The GCMA has significant collections of work by Andrew Wyeth, Jasper Johns, William H. Johnson, enslaved artisan and poet David Drake, and in its acclaimed Southern Collection that features art connected to the American South. “The GCMA collection is both broad and deep in American art,” said Tom Styron, the museum’s executive director. However, only 5 percent of the museum’s collection is on display at any given time at its Heritage Green facility. The events center would add about 25,000 square feet of exhibit space, almost doubling what the

measurable impact, and an opportunity to set a precedent — nowhere else does there exist this confluence of uses — and we are eager to be a part of such a collaborative effort,” he said.

ATTRACT NEW BUSINESS

Chris Stone, president of VisitGreenvilleSC, said the proposed events center would attract meetings and conferences that want to be in downtown Greenville but are too big for the Hyatt and don’t want to deal with shuttling attendees from downtown hotels to the Greenville Convention Center, formerly known at the TD Convention Center and the Palmetto Expo Center. Stone said the Hyatt can handle meetings

museum has now. “This project feels unique. I can’t think of anything else like it anywhere,” Styron said. He said the project would “galvanize Greenville’s reputation as a powerful arts community.” He said he believes traffic at the main museum, which draws more than a third of its visitors from at least 150 miles away, would increase. “Each location would be the best advertisement for the other,” he said. The Museum & Gallery has been closed since 2017 because the building that housed it on the BJU campus needs significant work. M&G has one of the largest collections of European old master paintings in America. While it is internationally known for Baroque art, the collection includes furniture, antiquities, Russian icons, textiles, and objects of art that span 45 centuries. “The Museum & Gallery has been called the bestkept secret in Greenville. While that holds some charm, M&G doesn’t wish to be a secret to our community or guests,” said M&G Director Erin Jones.

of up to 500 people. With its 25,000-squarefoot ballroom, the proposed events center would have enough room for conferences that need plenary and breakout session space for between 600 and 1,800 attendees, Hughes said. “A facility downtown allows us to attract a new audience,” he said. Aughtry said a CBRE market study estimated the events center could have 620 events annually. But several pieces have to fall into place for the project to become reality, Greenville Mayor Knox White said. To make the numbers work, the project requires $26 million contributions each from the city, county and the state in addition to the private sector contributions.

A walkable downtown location would supply greater visibility to the collection, and increased accessibility, a modern look, and a closer link to the arts community would enable M&G to share the collection in a new way through public spaces for school and community group use, she said. The on-campus museum had 35,000 square feet for galleries, office, storage, and daily operations. Jones said they’d like to have about 60,000 total square feet in the new museum. That would allow exhibition of a significant portion of the collection, gallery space for special exhibitions, and dedicated learning spaces for K-12 and adult programming, Jones said. M&G has begun a quiet fundraising phase and is still determining the project’s cost. Since the museum’s closure, some of its paintings have been loaned out to museums, corporate headquarters, and private homes of art enthusiasts. Selected pieces are on display in campus locations for public view and tours, and a sampling of some of the old masters hung in a recent GCMA exhibition.

Neither the county or the city have officially committed money to the project, although Mayor Knox White and County Council Chairman Butch Kirven wrote letters of support for state funding. The city bailed out the convention center, taking ownership in 2001. The 340,000-square-foot center, one of the largest venues in the Southeast, was built in 1964 as Greenville’s new textile hall. The facility was renovated in 2008. The center loses money every year and a Chicago-based consultant in 2016 said it should be “mothballed,” calling it a “physical oddity,” outdated and a “glorified expo center, not a true convention center.” White said the city wants to keep the ex-

hibition part of the Greenville Convention Center open for large-scale home and garden, boat, car, RV, and gun shows. But to do so, city needs help, he said. The city has discussed selling or leasing a portion of the convention center to the county to be the new home of some of the county and state offices that must move to make room for the redevelopment of County Square. Kirven said Greenville County Administrator Joe Kernell is looking at the convention center and other possible sites, but no decision has been made. White said the county could designate the events center site as a multi-county industrial park when the current West End tax increment fi-

THERAPY FOR EVERYBODY

NEWS |

NEED TO KNOW

Last month in our monthly e-mail newsletter and social media platforms, we invited the community to “Ask the Experts”, and we're excited to address your questions about physical therapy! Q: What is Physical Therapy? A: Physical Therapy is the treatment to improve mobility, relieve pain, restore physical function, and address disease or deformity Q: What can Physical Therapy treat? A: The better question is... what can't physical therapy treat? We can treat a wide variety of diagnoses. While PT is most commonly thought of for either back pain or sports injuries, some lesser known diagnoses can include headaches, vertigo, and TMJD/lockjaw. For a full list of diagnoses, visit our website! Q: Do I need a referral from my doctor? A: In most cases, no. In the state of South Carolina under "Direct Access" laws, you can be seen by a Physical Therapist for 30 days before a physician's script is needed. But we like to get ahead by looping your Primary Care Physician from the get-go. That way, if we need to see you past 30 days, we already have their consent to move forward! Q: What if I've been referred to another facility? A: As a patient, you have a choice in where you would like to attend therapy. If you want to come see us, let your physician know! To get the answers to... • How much does Physical Therapy cost? • Do I need to wait until the pain goes down to come in for treatment? • Can I continue working out while attending physical therapy? ...and more, visit the “You Asked, We Answered” blog post on our website! In addition to Physical Therapy, we also offer Occupational Therapy, PT Home Visits, Massage Therapy, and Fitness & Wellness. Have questions on what we can do for you? Give us a call!

nancing district expires in two years and use the money generated for its share of capital improvements. Hughes discussed the project with the Greenville County Council on Tuesday at its committee of the whole meeting. The mayor said the city could fund its share by issuing a bond that would be repaid through tourism-generated taxes and still have “plenty of capacity” to continue other projects such as Unity Park.

MISSING PIECE

White said the proposed events center would “re-invent what people think of when they hear conference center in Greenville.” “We’ve all known for a long time that the best place for a conference center is downtown along the river,” he said. Hughes said Greenville has long been missing this kind of venue in a walkable downtown location. “The new meeting facility combined with these two outstanding museums and surrounding mixed use developments will be a civic project that will attract tourists and businesses alike. It will be a catalyst for ongoing quality developments,” he said. The new center would have a different mission than the Greenville Convention Center, White said. “It would focus on bringing out-of-town people, events and organizations to Greenville,” he said. “More than that, recruitment of events could be closely aligned with state and regional economic development goals.” For instance, since the Upstate is a big

automotive center, attracting a regional automotive conference here could eventually lead to somebody to relocate their business to Greenville or launching a start-up business here, White said. Hughes said the timing is right for a downtown events center, which would create a public outdoor space on the last piece of land left on the river, help meet the needs of two world-class art museums and spur further economic development. “The stars won’t ever align like this again,” Hughes said.

CAROLINE CALDWELLRICHMOND

Spoke on helping people transition from incarceration back into society

Caroline Caldwell-Richmond wasn’t familiar with TEDx — until she was nominated by a board member of her nonprofit New Mind Health Care to present a talk in Greenville because of her passion for helping people transition from incarceration back into society. She started watching TED videos and was hooked. “I spent days and days and days listening to talks,” she said. When she was informed she was one of the dozen picked for the 2014 TEDxGreenville, she was floored. After she spoke, she became part of TEDxGreenville’s program team and later curated two of the annual conferences. TED got its start in 1984 as a conference about technology, entertainment, and design. The first TED included a demo of the compact disc. It has expanded in both topics and locations. TEDx events are smaller, independently organized conferences. The first in Greenville was held in 2010. TEDxGreenville will hold its 10th conference on March 29 at the Greenville ONE Center. Among the speakers are Tanglewood Middle School principal Edward Anderson, Beer and Napkins founder Phillip McCreight, and Upstate historian Rhondda Robinson Thomas.

TEDxGreenville license holder and organizer Russell Stall said he wasn’t worried about running out of Greenville residents with interesting ideas to take the stage. So far, 227 people have presented at TEDxGreenville events, including monthly salons, he said. “Greenville is not short of great ideas,” Stall said. This year, more than 275 people were nominated and 15 chosen. Caldwell-Richmond said not all ideas are worth spreading. Some nominees see TEDx as a means to get something, and those are easy to

“I think certain TED talks resonate with people because they offer a response to questions people have on their minds at that time,” she said. Many of the participants are household names in Greenville or beyond — such as Mayor Knox White, former First Baptist Greenville pastor Baxter Wynn, and former Clemson star wide receiver Perry Tuttle. But most are not. “The conference is about us collectively, not one speaker or one idea,” Stall said. “We’ve had speakers who started new nonprofits, changed careers, and achieved amazing things, and TEDx was a launchpad.”

Jones said that through the experience, she learned she could do scary things. “There’s an element to it that’s absolutely terrifying,” she said. “At the end of the day, you’re standing there in front of an audience in a circle with the spotlight on you.” She said TEDxGreenville brings together people who otherwise might not ever have found themselves in the same room. “It brings us together and breaks down barriers and walls,” she said.

“INVISIBLE ILLNESS”

by Emily Reach White Emily Reach White had a blog on her father’s battle with Lyme disease, an often misdiagnosed and misunderstood illness. The company she co-founded with her husband, Chris White, produced a film, “Get Better,” that was loosely based on it. But White is a writer and a behind-the-camera type so she was a bit reluctant when a friend nominated her to do a TEDxGreenville talk. When she was accepted, “it was a bit terrifying,” she said. A year and a half after her talk, her blog went viral thanks to an online community about Lyme disease. “It was kind of thrilling that it had a positive impact, but I wasn’t prepared for it,” she said. Last April, a major Lyme disease group in Maine had her speak at their conference. She found then that every year the group had shown her TEDxGreenville talk as an

opening for their conference. “I’d definitely do it again,” she said. Chris White will be one of the emcees at this year’s event.

EDU BILL APPROVED Greenville County Schools approves resolution on education reform bill n story by ARIEL GILREATH

WHAT GREENVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLS WANTS ■ ■TEACHER PAY

Ensure that pay for all public school teachers meets or exceeds the Southeastern average for comparable years of experience and education level, and that the General Assembly fully funds this investment, and embed within policy a requirement to adjust pay annually based on this benchmark.

■ ■LOCAL CONTROL OF SCHOOLS

Recognize that local control of schools, by duly elected local school board members, is preferable to state or federal mandates and control.

■ ■STATE-MANDATED TESTING

Allow high-performing school districts the flexibility to opt out of all statemandated testing not required in Federal law.

■ ■REMOVE SOME STATE-LEVEL BUREAUCRACIES

Remove unnecessary state-level bureaucracies of political appointees, which are often in conflict with the South Carolina Board of Education, elected State Superintendent of Education, and locally elected school boards.

Board members with Greenville County Schools don’t want to take an official position on two massive education reform bills in the South Carolina House of Representatives and the Senate — primarily because the two bills have a few major differences and the Senate version is expected to keep changing until it goes to the Senate floor for a vote. Instead, the board adopted a resolution

on education issues it would like to see addressed once the two bills finally merge into one piece of legislation. The bills — H.3759 and S.419 — started out identical before the House passed its version with major changes on March 7. It’s now in the Senate’s Education Committee before it comes to a full Senate vote. “There are some significant differences be-

■ ■SCHOOL BOARD ORIENTATION TRAINING

Ensure that the South Carolina Department of Education (in partnership with the South Carolina School Boards Association) provides high-quality school board orientation and trainings, with an emphasis on ethics, data analysis to drive student performance, sound governance, fiscal management, legal issues, board policies, and board best practices.

■ ■REMOVE UNDERFUNDED MANDATES

Ensure that the General Assembly remove all unfunded and underfunded mandates from current and future education legislation and regulations.

tween the House version that has passed and the Senate bill, which is still being worked out,” said Derek Lewis, board member with Greenville County Schools. The resolution that was adopted by Greenville County Schools on March 12 has six components the board wants from the General Assembly in the legislation: “The resolution begins with the assumption that the strongest contributor to a highly effective education is a quality instructor in the classroom, and second only to administrative support that is provided to that teacher in the classroom,” Lewis said. The resolution affirms increasing teacher pay to the Southeastern average, but by the same token, asks that the state pay for the raises and any other mandates. The resolution also asks the state to ensure teacher pay remains above the Southeastern average in future years. “Every year, they should be required to go back in and adjust those salaries so that we are continually pinning it to the Southeastern average,” Lewis said. The House version of the bill has drastic measures in place for districts consistently ranking “Unsatisfactory” on the state report cards — dissolve their boards

save the date

and hand them to the state. The resolution from Greenville County Schools doesn’t criticize this section outright, but it does re-affirm that “local control of schools” is preferable, and it proposes more opportunities for board training. “Increasingly, the [state] Department of Ed has gone in and taken over schools, and they’ve removed boards,” board member Lisa Wells said at the meeting. “The proactive measure should be that they ramp up the amount of training and orientation and support they provide to the local governing bodies and not just ignore that responsibility, and then come in and take over when they don’t like what’s happening.” The resolution takes a jab at the Zero to Twenty Committee in the House bill, which Lewis said is now being referred to as the Special Counsel on Revitalizing Education (SCORE), as well as the Education Oversight Committee, by calling on the state to “remove unnecessary state-level bureaucracies of political appointees.” The resolution calls for the state to give districts the flexibility to opt out of all state tests that aren’t federally mandated — the House version of the bill eliminates only some standardized science and social studies testing.

Home Tips Would you let your car go a year without a tune up? Your home’s HVAC system needs regular maintenance just like your car. When the heat hits, your cooling system might be running 10 hours a day or more! Your AC has various components including motors, capacitors, and control boards all of which should be checked to ensure they are working safely and at peak efficiency. A regular maintenance check can reveal leaks, rust, or wear and tear. Correcting these issues before a break down will help keep you cool and comfortable all summer long.

FIGHTING HUNGER Food recycling program reduces waste, changes lives

n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by WILL CROOKS

Last year, 2.3 million pounds of quality food was diverted from landfills and instead fed about 362,000 people in Greenville. Nonprofit Loaves & Fishes “rescued” that food to deliver to nearly 100 soup kitchens, churches, and after-school and feeding programs — all for free. Loaves & Fishes picks up good, untouched food from wholesale grocers and restaurants. Development manager Breean O’Neill says that most “ugly” or bruised produce will be tossed before customers even see it due to overproduction in America. The fresh produce, dairy products, canned goods, frozen meats, prepared foods, bread, and bakery items rescued daily by Loaves & Fishes feeds some of the 687,880 people facing hunger in South Carolina. “Just because somebody is in a less fortunate situation than us doesn’t mean they deserve less,” O’Neill says.

HOW IT WORKS DONORS

Donors like restaurants, grocery stores, caterers, etc. contact Loaves & Fishes when they have a surplus of food.

DRIVERS

Loaves & Fishes drivers are deployed in refrigerated trucks to ‘rescue’ the food.

PARTNER AGENCIES

Rescued food is delivered to partner agencies and into the hands of people in need.

Rather than rotting in landfills, quality produce is rescued to be given to others.

“We try to think about it as ‘would we want it given to us?’ Just because somebody is in a less fortunate situation than us doesn’t mean they deserve less.”

FEEDING THE HUNGRY

Greenville’s Project Host soup kitchen and evening meal programs use rescued food to feed about 150 people daily. Nearly 30 percent of Project Host’s food comes from Loaves & Fishes. “That makes a big difference in the amount of people we can feed,” Executive Director Sally Green says. Longtime soup kitchen clients Leon and Cassandra say that now the food is healthier and better. “I started out because at one point in time I was homeless, and thanks to [Green] she got me on the right track and everything,” Cassandra says.

IMPROVING HEALTH

Greenville Free Medical Clinic hosts minimarkets every Thursday for community members to fill bags with fruits, vegetables, and more for free. “So when [patients] leave, they have their orders for blood tests, their next visit scheduled, their medicines, and they might even have a bag or two of groceries,” Executive Director Suzie Foley says. For many people, eating healthy is a luxury they can’t afford. “There’s not likely to be behavior change unless there’s access and education,” Foley says of healthy habits.

| NEWS

Through 200 to 500 pounds of food delivered weekly by Loaves & Fishes, clinic visitors can make food choices that improve issues with weight, diabetes, and heart disease.

GIVING HOPE

Miracle Hill Ministries receives up to 330,000 pounds of food annually from Loaves & Fishes to help create 382,000 meals for shelter guests and food boxes for community members. “Their dedication to go out and rescue food … helps us be able to serve broken people in shelters, our addiction recovery programs, and our children’s facilities,” says Ryan Duerk, vice president of adult ministries and food warehouse manager. People recovering from homelessness or addictions need nutritious meals to become healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually, Duerk says.

LEGACY

A LASTING IMPACT Jerry Dempsey changed lives through philanthropic work n story by MIKE HEMBREE | photos by CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

Greenville businessman and philanthropist Jerry Dempsey, who died March 12, left positive handprints across the Upstate – from the arts to medicine to religion, but his impact will forever remain personal to Lisa Smith. Smith, a Travelers Rest resident, was diagnosed with adenoid cystic cancer, a rare form of the disease, in 2015. Doctors at Duke University Hospital said treatment for the cancer, which started in her jaw and spread to her lungs, would be difficult and gave her six months to live. The Rare Tumor Center of Prisma HealthUpstate’s Cancer Institute placed Smith in a new clinical trial, and the treatments significantly shrank her lung tumors and have prolonged her life. A $1 million contribution from Dempsey and his wife, Harriet, was the seed money for the Rare Tumor Center. “The act he did impacted my family tremendously,” Smith said. “Something that mattered to him changed our lives without him even knowing us. That’s powerful.” Dr. Jeff Edenfield, the center’s medical director, said Dempsey’s goal “was to help people with an unmet need and to try to help the Greenville Cancer Institute grow in distinction and become a standard of excellence in that area. I don’t think I thought as big as Mr. Dempsey. That’s why he was good to be around.” Dempsey, 86, was a chairman of the Prisma Health-Upstate (then Greenville Hospital System) board and served in similar capacities across a spectrum of organizations. He was heavily involved in the Greenville arts community and was a former president of the Greenville Symphony board.

“He was a fixture and a leader, and he will be really missed,” said Mary Louise Mims, a member of the symphony’s endowment board. “His knowledge helped the symphony in so many ways, and he was always there to help and to enjoy the performances.” Mike Riordan, co-CEO of Prisma Health, said Dempsey was instrumental in a wide span of growth in the hospital system and the corporate changes that led to the formation of Prisma Health. “During Jerry Dempsey’s leadership on the Greenville Health System Board of Trustees and as its chair, GHS experienced extraordinary growth in its clinical and academic programs,” Riordan said. The Dempseys created the Harriet and Jerry Dempsey Research Conference, which is hosted annually by Prisma Health and Clemson University. The conference brings together health care providers and engineering and bioengineering faculty. Dr. Jerry Youkey, founding dean of the USC School of Medicine in Greenville, called Dempsey “one of the most remarkable men I’ve known. His wisdom and insight as a leader and champion of education meant a great deal to me.” A 1954 Clemson graduate, Dempsey grew up in Landrum, the son of textile workers. He worked at Borg-Warner, where he eventually became president and chief operating officer. He later served as chairman of Chemical Waste Management and chairman of PPG Industries Inc. He retired from PPG in 1997 and moved to Greenville. Dempsey was a member of the Dean’s Advisory Board of the Clemson School of Engineering and chaired the university’s President’s Advisory Council.

Vendors, artists, and cosplay enthusiasts recently took over the Greenville Convention Center for the sixth annual SC Comicon. For this Captured photo essay, my lens was drawn to the elaborate cosplay costumes and characters. I wanted to create cinematic portraits to show the costumes’ incredible craftsmanship. To do that justice, we schlepped the entire photo studio – lighting equipment and all – into the event space itself. For me there’s a clear connection between theatre and cosplay, not only from the costuming aspect, but also the performance component. I played up that similarity through dramatic poses and a dark background that pulls all attention to the subject. The sense of camaraderie and community among the cosplay community radiated through the event. Some people traveled from as far as Ohio for a chance to don their handcrafted costumes. The most ambitious, creative cosplayers garnered as much attention, high fives, and impromptu photo ops at SC Comicon as Lebron James would after winning a home game. They appeared figuratively, and sometimes literally, larger than life. The amount of creativity and detail put into these costumes was something to behold. I hope that through my lens, I captured just a bit of that magic for you.

Marchant Real Estate has on-boarded Brownstone Property Advisors as its newest team of agents. Agents Rhett Brown, Kirby Stone, Tatum Stone and Christina Taylor say they are committed to finding clients their dream home at their dream price. The group’s mission is to provide the highest level of real estate service while maintaining maximum integrity and transparency with clients. Brownstone Property Advisors began with Rhett Brown’s vision of a women-lead real estate team. Brown’s experience – with appraisals, mortgages, negotiating short sales

and real estate sales – enables her to guide clients through the process with ease. As a Greenville native, Kirby Stone says she understands how unique Greenville is and her work reflects that to her clients. Christina Taylor brings a deep admiration for architecture – old and new – to the group. Clients connect with Taylor’s passion and feel comfortable entrusting her with their vision. Tatum Stone is actively involved in developing the future well-being and growth of the city by placing clients in the right area, whether it be established area, an expanding area, or an area evolving into something new. “We are thrilled to have this team of women heading Brownstone Property Advisors. Each agent brings something fresh and essential to the team, making them a very strong real estate group,” says Seabrook Marchant, president and broker in charge.

SYBIL TODD

Local cosplayer becomes Greenville’s own real-life hero

“It’s kind of empowering to get to be a hero for a day,” Sybil Todd says. She enjoys finding ways to incorporate the heroism of her cosplays into her everyday life. Todd plays many roles — actor, director, costume and set designer, prop maker, wife, and mother — but her many worlds combine in the realm of cosplay, where she can be anything. “A couple of years ago, [cosplay] was a smaller subculture, and now it’s much more mainstream,” Todd says. “It’s one of those neat hobbies that’s kind of cross-cultural.” Creating a character often demands countless hours of designing and crafting. In addition to capturing the intricate details, cosplayers consider weight and wearability in choosing materials for costumes and props.

“It’s an incredible art form; it’s a very three-dimensional, tangible art form,” Todd says. “There’s a lot of depth to the cosplay world. It’s not just what you see in pictures online.” Todd spends much time in the craft room in her Anderson home designing, sewing, and handcrafting elements of her costumes. As the face of White Knight Cosplay, Todd works with her husband, who’s a comic book collector, and four children to bring these characters to life for various conventions and events. Having a background in theater, Todd was fascinated with the costumes she saw at the first comic convention she and her husband attended. That’s when she decided to try her hand at cosplaying. “It gave something for me and the kids to do while my husband was doing all the comic book searching,” she says.

To share the magical empowerment of cosplay, Todd teamed up with Ghost River Photography to create superheroes for children with special needs. Todd designed the costumes they wore to create a calendar fundraiser for the canine FETCH unit at Prisma Health’s Children’s Hospital. “Getting to give back has grounded it for me and made it more meaningful than just ‘dress up and take pictures of me,’” Todd says. “It’s given me more purpose.” As part of the Heroes in Force team, Todd also uses cosplay as a fun way to teach kids how to be heroes rather than bullies.

MARCH 22 // GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

Let me just start by saying I’ve never been happier to be completely wrong. I started this piece with the idea that, at least on some level, booking shows at Upstate concert venues and clubs is a cutthroat competition, with each party desperately trying to carve out their own territory in our music scene. Yeah, none of that is true. In fact, in talking to the bookers for four Upstate venues, Gottrocks, The Firmament, Radio Room, and The Spinning Jenny, I discovered it’s exactly the opposite. But more on that in a bit. Let’s start by talking about HOW different venues around the Upstate create their concert schedules. For places like The Firmament in Greenville (capacity: 825 people) and The Spinning Jenny in Greer (capacity: 650), local bands aren’t on the schedule as often as they are at Gottrocks and Radio Room, whose capacities are in the 150-250 range. Nationally known artists are their priority, simply because they have to sell more tickets. Booking national acts means dealing with national booking agents, which wasn’t always easy for either Sharon Murry, co-owner and booker for The Spinning Jenny, or Andrew Peek, co-owner and booker for The Firmament, since both venues are relatively new. “In the very beginning, we’d reach out to national acts and they didn’t even acknowledge us,” says Murry. “When we were finally able to book some artists like

The Lone Bellow, Rhiannon Giddens, and Jim Lauderdale, then they noticed us, and at that point, they started contacting us.” Peek’s experience at The Firmament was similar. “I think a lot of agents wanted to see how we would do before they started putting people in here,” he says. Once the two of them established relationships with booking agents, they were able to figure out their respective processes for bringing in bands. “A good fit for us is an act that will draw at least 150 people, just because of the room size,” Murry says. “A really good showing for us is 250-300. I love a soldout show, but that’s not easy to do at 650 and still be able to afford them.” “As far as the process, I just answer my emails, put feelers out there, call agents, and go from there,” Peek says. Radio Room and Gottrocks can focus more on local artists. The level of hard work is just as high at these smaller locations, though the budget is typically a lot smaller. “You have to do your due diligence,” says Wes Gilliam, co-owner and booker for Radio Room on Poinsett Highway. “We can’t just throw money around; the first thing I ask myself is, ‘Will it be successful with the criteria I have laid out in front of me?’” “It’s not a gratifying job sometimes,” says Alisha Zellner, who books the schedule at Gottrocks on Eisenhower Drive.

I knew already that booking is hard work, but what I didn’t really think about is that bookers don’t just have their own schedules to worry about; they have to keep an eye on everyone else in town, too. “Whatever else is going on that night might affect your turnout,” Murry says. “If there’s a music festival going on, for example, I’m not booking anything resembling the music they’re having.” Zellner agrees. “Whether it’s the Albino Skunk Music Festival or Fall for Greenville, you always have to look ahead and see what’s coming, because that will KILL your weekend if you have the same kinds of bands.” “If I see that the Radio Room has a heavy metal band that night, I’ll probably do an electronic-music night and vice-versa,” Peek says. That’s where we get back to my opening statement; the biggest, most welcome surprise I stumbled upon in talking to these bookers is the admiration and respect they expressed for the people working at the other Upstate venues. Beyond that, they will often refer bands that don’t seem like a good fit at their venue to each other. “I have a good relationship with Wes and those guys at the Radio Room,” Peek says. “We try to work around each other.” “I pass along a lot of stuff, especially to Gottrocks,” Gilliam says. “I refer bands that might not be a good fit for us to a room that does it more regularly and has the crowd for it. “It’s not a competition,” Zellner says. “I’m for them, too. There’s enough to go around…It’s all about working together at this point instead of looking at it as competition. We’re all in the same business, and we’re all in this together.”

BACK PORCH BLUEGRASS

The Dillards, aka The Darlings, spin bluegrass stories and songs in Asheville n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo PROVIDED

The Dillards are among a select few bands to have a massive influence on two different genres. Led by Rodney and Douglas Dillard on guitar and banjo, respectively, the band began in the early 1960s as a bluegrass group, and later began expanding their sound to create the country-rock genre that bands like The Byrds and the Eagles would explore more fully. Artists from Ricky Skaggs to Elton John have cited The Dillards as an influence, and the band, still led by Rodney Dillard after 56 years, have been inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Hall of Fame. But despite all that, they will probably always be best known under another name. The Dillards made multiple appearances on The Andy Griffith Show as the Darling family between 1963-66, so they’ve undoubtedly been seen hundreds of millions of times all over the world, by people who may or may

not have ever even heard of them by their actual band-name. It’s undeniably part of the band’s legacy because it brought bluegrass to a larger audience than ever before; in fact, one of the first known TV broadcasts of the classic tune “Dueling Banjos” was on The Andy Griffith Show, performed by The Dillards. It was also a springboard for The Dillards to move from traditional bluegrass into what would become country-rock music, something that Rodney says he has no regrets about. “My Mom and Dad played tradition-

al music; that was my heritage. But you’ve got to move on unless you want to stagnate,” he says. “I loved bluegrass, and I loved the harmonies, and I thought, ‘On the next album, I’m going to keep the soul of our music but elaborate on it.’” The current tour is called “Last Man Standing,” because Rodney is the last of the original group left alive. “It’s been a great ride for me,” he says. “It’s what I know how to do best, and if I can make people happy, it gives me joy.”

A four-month rain delay has pushed the Woodside Bistro opening from early 2019 to mid-April, and that’s only if it stops raining long enough for the concrete outdoor patio and a second restroom floor to be poured.

The 49-seat restaurant at 1112 Woodside Ave. in City View that sits between Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery and the Woodside Cotton Mill Historic District is designed for the neighborhood and beyond. “We want it to be something the guy on the street there can come in and have a meal.

Woodside chefs Austyn McGroarty and Ken Frazier, who also run Premiere Party Catering, recently cooked up the entire menu for a dry run. Carden, partner Brad Armstrong, and some right-place-right-time construction workers made quick work of the plates sent out. While there will likely be tweaks and changes as the restaurant opens, this menu version is a good representation of what to expect. For appetizers, there are two, which could stand alone for a light lunch: five chicken
