ALLMAN FAMILY REVIVAL
featuring The Allman Betts Band, Samantha Fish, Cody Dickinson, Luther Dickinson, Robert Randolph & Jimmy Hall with special guests The River Kittens
A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Big House Foundation & Museum

The Allman Family Revival is a celebration of the life, spirit, and music of Gregg Allman, hosted by his son, Blues Music Award winning Devon Allman and anchored by his group, The Allman Betts Band. On what would have been Gregg Allman’s 70th Birthday, Devon decided to gather his talented friends to pay homage musically. Musicians that had toured with Gregg, jammed with Gregg & inspired by Gregg turned up to throw down. Legends like Robin Zander of Cheap Trick showed up, wunderkind Marcus King tore the theater down, Orbison’s were in the house…a who’s who of musical talent have taken part.

Now…It’s a yearly tradition, and it’s grown from an annual celebration in San Fransisco to a full fledged coast to coast tour. Based on the format of “The Last Waltz” concert with The Allman Betts Band as the house band and featuring up to a dozen marquee names in music, it’s an epic 3 hour show unlike any other. This year we welcome Robert Randolph, Eric Gales, Jimmy Hall, Donavon Frankenrieter, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Cody and Luther Dickinson, Lilly Hiatt, Lamar Williams Jr., and many more to be announced.

Don’t miss this incredible celebration of life and music, you’ll be part of the family too.

Goose’s music is the culmination of a rich history between friends of differing ages and experiences from the same small town in Connecticut, drawn together through a deep love of music and storytelling.

Safe Sounds is expanding on Thursday, May 6th to Riverfront Park, one of Charleston's favorite venues, with all of the creature comforts you have come to expect from previous Safe Sounds events including...

~12'x10' Safe Square for your party of 4 w/ 8' walking aisles between each row

Rock the 90’s at The Music Farm | 1/26/19

You know them as Broadcast 90, but it’s new year, new name for this epic 90’s rock cover band. Join us at The Music Farm on Saturday, January 26th for Rock the 90’s USA!

Ear for Music and Music Farm Presents:
Rock the 90's: The Official 90's Rock Tribute
Show | 9pm // Doors | 8pm
Tickets: $10
All Ages Show

ROCK THE 90's USA, the OFFICIAL 90's ROCK TRIBUTE takes you back to the glory days of guitar driven rock - an eclectic buffet of all the best in 90's radio rock - performed exactly like the original recordings.

One band, one mission...to spread the gospel of 90's rock-n-roll to the masses! It's a 90's throw down like no other you'll experience.

Rock the '90s is not just a band, it's an experience. A well-rehearsed, high-energy show that travels the road of 90's rock on all levels, including the detours and back roads of an often forgotten decade that produced some of the best guitar-driven rock in music history.

Formerly known as Broadcast 90: The Ultimate 90's Rock Tribute - the band was formed in late 2015 to pay homage to the last golden decade of guitar driven rock: the 1990s. The goal was to assemble an all-star supergroup of seasoned players to give the genre its proper due. Each member of Rock the 90's has clocked thousands of hours in both the studio and stage and have performed all over the United States, not to mention performing with some of the most iconic 90’s music artists including Sister Hazel, Drivin’ n Cryin’, Sugar Ray and many more. Rock the 90's USA performs throughout the nation.

From Matchbox Twenty to the Stone Temple Pilots, It’s no holds barred, as Rock the '90s combines a heavy dose of 90's rock with an energetic, over the top, arena-style show that is guaranteed to keep you singing song after song, all night long!

Greg Humphreys Electric Trio is returning to Charleston for a show at The Commodore on Thursday, October 25th at 8pm.

Music fans are familiar with Humphreys from his years leading North Carolina faves Dillon Fence and Hobex. With songs influenced by the best in pop, funk, soul, R&B, and rock n' roll, you might find Greg Humphreys Electric Trio in the same soul centric corner of the big Americana tent where you'd find Alabama Shakes or Lake Street Dive. 

The Electric Trio formed in New York City in 2014 when Greg took to local stages with fellow seasoned southern transplants drummer Keith Robinson and bassist Matt Brandau.

The band is putting the finishing touches on a second studio album, scheduled for release in the fall of 2018. The new album will focus on the ‘70s influenced funk & soul songs that characterize the band’s rousing live shows, which often stretch late into the night or early into the next morning and devolve into sweaty dance parties

Tickets will be sold at the door at The Commodore.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Patrick Davis & His Midnight Choir Return to Charleston Music Hall

Patrick Davis is a singer, songwriter, artist & storyteller originally from Camden, South Carolina who has spent the last fourteen years making his musical mark in Nashville, TN. Patrick learned the finer points of music & performance growing up in a household that not only included a talented guitar playing father, but also an extensive record collection always readily available for his absorption. At the age of 16 Patrick joined his father Rusty on stage for his first ever performance and since that initial “gig” music has been the only job Patrick has ever held. 

After graduating from The University of South Carolina in 2000 Patrick moved to Nashville, TN where for almost 15 years he has continued to build his songwriting, artist and touring career. Patrick has released four well received full length albums, toured the US & Europe as both a headliner & support act for Darius Rucker, Jewel & others while also being employed as a staff writer for Warner Chappell Music Publishing & having over 50 songs recorded by artist like Jimmy Buffet, Lady Antebellum, Imelda May, Darius Rucker, Jewel, Robert Randolph, Guy Clark and many more. 

Patrick’s “Patrick Davis & Midnight Choir” is an 11-piece band featuring horns & background singers created by PD in early 2016 from both his own artistic vision & the soundscapes of his songwriting & performing heroes Van Morrison, Lyle Lovett & Bruce Springsteen. Davis borrowed the name “Midnight Choir” from a line in one of his favorite Leonard Cohen songs “Bird On a Wire” & since his eleven-piece outfit starting playing dates Davis & “His Midnight Choir” have witnessed growing congregations across the Southeast.

Blue Dogs Announce 6th Annual Homecoming and 30th Anniversary Show

The Blue Dogs are coming back to Charleston Music Hall on Saturday, December 29th, 2018 to celebrate 30 years together. In that time, they have played more events for pediatric cancer than any other charity work. So, when they created their own annual event in 2013, they saw it as their chance to bring folks together to join in the fight to end pediatric cancer by raising funds for cutting-edge research—while also putting on a great night of music.

In 2016 & 2017 alone, they raised over $300,000, thanks to an amazing group of generous charity-minded sponsors and loyal music fans—along with The Press On Fund out of Augusta, GA, which provided a match for every dollar raised.

With their mission to cure childhood cancer within our lifetime, The Press On Fund will continue to work alongside the Blue Dogs and their sponsors to support the work of MUSC Associate Professor of Pediatrics Jacqueline M. Kraveka in the division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. Dr. Kraveka runs the ONLY pediatric oncology research lab in the state of South Carolina.

Ultimately, The Blue Dogs get to do what they do best: play music and celebrate! Over the five years so far, we have been fortunate to have as special guests many of our musical colleagues and heroes including Darius Rucker, Hootie and the Blowfish, Edwin McCain, Radney Foster, Drivin n Cryin, The Connells, Pat McGee, Uncle Mingo, Jupiter Coyote, The Killer Whales, and many more local and regional musicians we know and love. Each year there are unique collaborations and always a couple of last-minute surprises.

Our special guests this year will be announced on Labor Day weekend.

3 Tips for Finding the Perfect Entertainment for Your Wedding

1. Think about the atmosphere you'd like to create.

What energy and tone do you want your entertainment to create? Your making memories, so look for entertainers that can cater to your needs and are able to play the songs that mean something special to you.

2. Consult a professional.

There's a lot to worry about on your big day. Seek the advice and experience of those who do this all the time! When it comes to music, you want to work with someone that understands the big picture, but is flexible enough to include details like specific songs that will make your wedding unforgettable.

3. Don't forget about ceremony music!

When bride and grooms-to-be first think of entertainment, they think of the party. It's important to have the right music to entertain guests at the reception, but the ceremony is for you and those moments are what you'll remember first about your big day. Think about what kind of music should accompany those special moments and book them as far in advance as you do your party entertainment!
