The People Behind The Handle

We loved helping The People Behind The Handle party come to life by booking one of our favorite artists, Nathan Salley, to play some awesome tunes for all of us social media lovers.  The event was a huge success and it was great talking with other local social media aficionados about how they bring their ideas to life.  Local blogger Charleston Food Writer put together this event so other creative minds who spend their time writing and photographing their passions and sharing them with the world could have a chance to shake hands, make friends, discuss ideas, drink, eat and enjoy the amazing environment that the Striped Pig Distillery provides.  We can't wait until next year!

Spring is in the air!

When the weather heats up and it's time for the ladies to break out their sundresses and the men to break out their shorts from long months of winter storage, things get busy around the EFM office as we plan for all the amazing music events we have in store for you fine folks of Charleston.  Rather than recoil in shock in the face of the busiest time of the year, we embrace it wholeheartedly as we put together some of the most anticipated events of the spring and summer seasons.
