Outdoor amphitheater at the refinery

The Refinery, Charleston’s newest mixed-use development designed for a work and play lifestyle, located at 1640 Meeting Street Rd., will begin hosting live concerts and events at its new outdoor music amphitheater this August. The new venue, in conjunction with Charleston-based entertainment agency Ear for Music, will welcome a variety of local, regional and national performing acts to the Lowcountry, including Trouble No More and Trevor Hall August 13th and 14th. Ticketing information and a complete schedule of events will be released soon.

“Our goal was to create a dynamic space that is accessible to the community, yet unique to downtown Charleston,” shares Lindsay Nevin, owner and CEO of The Flyway Companies. “We can’t wait to host an array of talented performers and entertainers from across the country right here in Charleston. The Refinery will be a place where locals and visitors alike can come together and experience the Lowcountry lifestyle in a unique way.”

The Refinery’s outdoor space accommodates up to 1,500 patrons and will offer fast and fun food and drink options during events via the property’s anchor tenants, The WhaleSweet Grass Vodka and a new restaurant that will be announced soon. The Refinery building features 17 commercial spaces, as well as an outdoor rooftop called “The Platform,” which will offer an elevated VIP experience for concertgoers.

The Refinery Amphitheater will feature a covered stage, green space, permanent restrooms and concessions in retrofitted shipping containers, as well as unique greenrooms for artists, housed in a renovated railcar. Inspiration for the retrofitted railcar greenroom came from the property’s historical roots and industrial surroundings, which was once owned by Standard Oil.

Goose Photo.jpg

Goose could be likened to a keg party in the woods on a summer night with all of your closest friends. While behind this bonfire-lit gathering, further into the forest, there is a deeper mystery awaiting those looking for it.

The quartet, based in Norwalk, CT, is comprised of Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keyboards/guitar), Trevor Bass (bass), and Ben Atkind (drums). 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.

rockthe90s.jpg


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!

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

IMG_2018.jpg

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.

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

BlueDogs18-poster_webad.jpg

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!
