Park Circle arboretum highlights, protects natural landscape

By Skyler Baldwin

The homes throughout the Mixson Assembly neighborhood in Park Circle aren’t bordered with streets and sidewalks like most in Charleston. Instead, they open onto several beautifully landscaped public parks filled with an array of trees, flowers and plants.

The neighborhood is recognized as an arboretum, a botanical garden focused on trees and other “woody plantlife.” This kind of “community arboretum” is the only one of its kind in the state.

Mixson Assembly neighborhood president Trever Etminan and his neighbors embarked on a journey to gain that recognition about two years ago.

“We catalogued every single tree we have in the neighborhood,” he said. “It was about a six-month process, just counting trees and making sure we had the right species labels on each one. We worked with our community arborist to make sure they were all accurate.”

In September 2024, the neighborhood was approved by global group ArbNet.

Arbor diversity is key

The accuracy was important, because arboretum status isn’t just about having a lot of trees in one spot. It’s about diversity. A level 1 arboretum (what Mixson is recognized as), must feature at least 25 different woody

Preservation Society earns state award

An initiative by the Preservation Society of Charleston to document threatened burial grounds earned the state’s 2025 Preservation Service Award for its contribution to historic preservation.

The Mapping Charleston’s Black Burial Grounds Project , a community-led initiative, was honored alongside others from across the state on June 18 during the annual State Historic Preservation Awards ceremony in Columbia.

The project, funded through a federal civil rights grant from the National Park Service, identifies threatened gravesites in Charleston. It offers a digital map to increase public awareness of Black burial grounds and to boost protection for the spaces as Charleston continues to develop.

The resource, launched in October 2024, is publicly accessible at: preservationsociety.org. More than 202 burial sites are on the map.

“We do not want drilling off our coast and the associated things that come with it, which include unintended consequences.”

—Charleston County Councilman Herb Sass on an anti-drilling resolution passed Tuesday night. The measure comes on the heels of a recent announcement by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on updating its five-year plan, which evaluates the S.C. coastline for potential oil drilling sites.

species of plantlife. Mixson boasts more than 70, Etminan said, pushing closer to the tougher level 2 requirement of 100.

“If I had to make a guess, we have somewhere around 500 trees [in the neighborhood],” he said. “We may have even more if you start counting what people have added within their own property lines. We have probably 200 crape myrtles alone.

“And we still have identified little pockets in

the neighborhood that the original developer didn’t take proper advantage of,” Etminan added. “That’s what we’re doing as a neighborhood — taking what the developer left us and identifying places where we can improve the community for residents.

Charleston group launches economic boycotts on Fridays

By City Paper staff

A nationwide “fast” from spending money every Friday is entering its second week after a coalition of Charleston-area activists recently launched the boycott to counter White supremacy.

The group is calling on “everyday people” across the United States to participate in a weekly monetary boycott they’re calling Fasting Fridays.

“Everyday, White supremacists kidnap everyday people who also happen to be immigrants,” said the Rev. Charles Heyward, one of the co-chairs of the new national Everyday People movement. “Everyday, White supremacists work to erase jobs, funding and resources from programs.”

Heyward, pastor of Edisto Presbyterian Church, said in a prepared statement that policies further threaten the health and survival of people around the world by “refusing to care for the land that sustains us.”

Faith and community leaders, political and grassroots organizations and activists devised the Fasting Fridays boycott.

Treva Williams of Charleston, one of the Everyday People organizers, said 15 groups have so far participated in planning the boycott that was launched on the

10th anniversary of the mass shooting at Emanuel A.M.E. Church that claimed the lives of nine church members.

Abstaining from patronizing a business, institution or industry is a classic tool to force change, organizers said. Fasting Fridays is a continuation of this type of action, they said.

While the Fasting Fridays demands are broad and big, organizers have set ten benchmarks aimed at the federal government to gauge progress. The benchmarks include demands around DEI, reproductive rights, trans health and safety, immigration, policing, disability justice, education, economic justice, Palestine and the environment.

The Rev. Adam Shoemaker, pastor of St. Stephens Episcopal Church, is an Everyday People co-chair.

“We’ve had enough,” he said. “While it’s true that Everyday People don’t have the money those in power have, collectively, our money matters, and we’ll withhold it every Friday until we no longer smart under the uneven and brutal rule of white supremacists anywhere on this land.”

Investing in the future

Being recognized as a community arboretum is important to neighborhood leaders like Etminan because it offers an extra layer of protection for the area’s greenspaces against future development.

“You hear people talk about a forest, and they call it ‘undeveloped land,’ as if being bulldozed for a bunch of houses is the default,” said Keegan Robbins, a member of the Mixson HOA board. “Pushing back against that and being a community that has both lovely homes and lovely greenspaces for the people who live there is so important.

“A lot of the trees we’re planting today, we probably won’t see them fully grown,” he added. “But we’re planting them knowing that this community is going to benefit from having them for decades if not hundreds of years. That’s the dream.”

Etminan agreed.

“It’s essentially a nature museum,” he said. “And it’s right here in Park Circle. How many neighborhoods have something like this right outside their front door? If you spend enough time out here, just lingering, the sounds of the city start to melt away a little bit. You hear more of the wildlife, the birdsong. There are just not a lot of places, especially new developments in the Lowcountry, that have that. We are focused on bringing that back.”

Not stopping here

Mixson is already well on its way to reaching level 2 arboretum status, which offers further protections and some grant opportunities.

“We’re a level 1 arboretum right now, but there’s quite a few of those nationally,” Etminan said. “How many level 2s are there? Can we make it? Can we get there? The more we thought about it and the more we saw spaces across the neighborhood, we thought, we have the opportunity to grow for sure.”

Robbins said he was excited about the idea of growing the arboretum to level 2 status.

“It’s a milestone that will reflect how much we have grown the neighborhood, and that’s really exciting for me. We are already making progress.”

Ultimately, Etminan said, the goal is to identify new and creative sources of funding. Upkeep for more than half a dozen public parks and hundreds of individual trees gets expensive, he said.

“How do you upkeep all of this while keeping it affordable enough for people to actually live here?” he said. “We don’t want to price Mixson out of the Park Circle market, and that has become one of the current challenges.”

He said he hopes reaching level 2 arboretum status will help the community stand out and qualify for additional grant funding to further maintain the public spaces.

Blotter of the Week

A Mount Pleasant man on June 15 reportedly threw a cup containing “an unknown liquid” at the staff of a Coleman Boulevard bar. According to town police, the man was immediately tackled and knocked unconscious by multiple bouncers. He wasn’t arrested, but when he comes to, someone needs to make sure that guy never joins a football team.

All hands on deck

A West Ashley man on June 17 told Charleston police someone stole his truck after he left it parked with the keys inside next to a local bank. The man told police an unloaded rifle and his dog were in the truck. Well, that settles it. We’re formally demanding the police get every officer involved and do not rest until this man’s dog is found safe and sound. Pro tip: Check hospitals for people bitten by dogs.

Not good enough

A North Charleston man on June 20 reportedly stole more than $2,000 of “fragrance” from a Dorchester Road beauty store. Look, any way we slice this, it isn’t adding up. Valentine’s Day was too long ago; Christmas is too far away; it’s too big for a birthday and not big enough for an apology. Whatever the plan is, buddy, good luck.

Why June 28’s Carolina Day is a big deal

By Skyler Baldwin

Cities across the Palmetto State will come alive this weekend with celebrations and commemorations for Carolina Day. You can join parades, festivals, lectures and reenactments to honor the 249th anniversary of the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, the first major naval victory of the American Revolution. Charleston’s observance of the unofficial holiday begins downtown with several longstanding Palmetto Society events.

• 10 a.m.: Carolina Day service at St. Michael’s Church. 71 Broad St.

• 11 a.m.: Community gathering in Washington Park. 80 Broad St.

• 11:30 a.m.: Carolina Day Parade steps off from Washington Park, featuring more than 30 historic, military, civic and cultural units. The parade concludes at White Point Garden.

• Noon: S.C. 250 Commissioner Ben Zeigler of Florence will give remarks, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at White Point Garden. 2 Murray Blvd.

Meanwhile, Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island hosts a free family festival from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday to commemorate the holiday. The festival features musket and artillery demonstrations, colonial games, indigo-dyeing, authors’ talks and more. Key moments include a flag-raising at 10 a.m. and a dramatic reenactment of Sgt. William Jasper’s flag rescue at 3 p.m.

The Holy City’s celebrations conclude at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park, where gates open at 5 p.m. for a Charleston RiverDogs game against the Lynchburg Hillcats.

Revolutionary War interpreters will greet fans, fire ceremonial cannons and lead colonial children’s games between

The unfinished fort boasted only 31 cannons with which a garrison of soldiers repelled nine man-of-war ships with nearly 300. The victory is a tale of underdog victory that showed leaders in the American colonies that the fight for freedom from British tyranny was winnable.

According to the S.C. Encyclopedia, the fort would have been a square with 500-footlong walls with a bastion at each corner. Builders placed thousands of palmetto logs in two parallel walls 16 feet apart. Between the walls were tons of sand. By the time of the battle, only two walls and bastions were complete, and only 400 soldiers were stationed at the fort. Another 300 stood at the north end of the island to keep British marines from crossing Breach Inlet.

A historic victory

South Carolina is at the heart of the American Revolution. Nearly a third of all battles and skirmishes took place in South Carolina. And on June 28, 1776, South Carolina patriots defended a makeshift fort on Sullivan’s Island. Built with palmetto logs that absorbed the shock of British cannons, it repelled a powerful British fleet offensive, preserving Charleston and boosting colonial morale days before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

On June 8, the British fleet demanded surrender, which was rejected. And on June 28, warships advanced on the fort and began firing just before noon. The fort’s guns responded, and the cannonfire continued through the evening. Despite taking heavy fire, the fort survived with little damage. The interwoven fibers of the palmetto logs and the thick berm of sand between them absorbed the shock of British volleys.

The less-pliable ships, however, did not. Patriot cannons severely damaged two British ships and moderately damaged two more. A fifth was scuttled after it ran aground in the mud.

British troops ultimately saw more than 200 casualties, compared to only 40 among patriots. It wasn’t long before the Royal Navy withdrew, and the unnamed fort was named to honor its commander, Col. William Moultrie. Now, the site is part of Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park.

War without consent — or the Constitution

The United States committed multiple acts of war over the weekend against the sovereign nation of Iran. That it did so with the goal of preventing a brutal and unpredictable regime from acquiring nuclear weapons no doubt provided justification aplenty for many in the U.S. and around the world. And given the potentially apocalyptic stakes, that argument clearly has merit.

But in deciding to take the country to a war footing without congressional authorization, President Donald Trump denied the American people their right to debate and decide that question through their elected representatives. And in so doing, he crossed a constitutional red line that separates presidential duties from those of Congress.

As U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, a conservative Republican from Kentucky, made clear just hours after the bombers cleared Iranian airspace, respecting the Constitution’s separation of powers isn’t a partisan issue.

“In the first Iraq War, the second Iraq War and the war in Afghanistan, Congress first got the briefings, Congress met and debated,” Massie said on CBS’s Face The Nation. “We haven’t had that. This has been turned upside down, the process.”

Of course, to a generation of Americans raised in a post-9/11 world of presidentially ordered airstrikes and ground assaults, concerns about the lack of congressional approval for Trump’s undeclared war on Iran may sound like so much legal nitpicking.

But to the authors of the American Constitution, Congress’s exclusive power to decide questions of war and peace wasn’t a technicality. In fact, it was an essential feature of our new republic, as James Madison, the principal architect of our constitutional system of checks and balances, noted in a letter to Thomas Jefferson in 1798.

“The Constitution supposes what the history of all governments demonstrates — that the executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it,” Madison wrote. “It has accordingly with studied care vested the question of war in the legislature.”

That presidents, including Jefferson, have spent much of the past 236 years finding ever-more-creative ways to get around that clear constitutional mandate only proves Madison’s point. It is the executive who’s most interested in, and prone to, war — as we saw so clearly once again this week.

As we write these words, America’s war in Iran is only a few short days old. Perhaps it will be over by the time you read this — a “splendid little war” that kept one of the world’s worst regimes from obtaining some of the world’s most terrifying weapons. Or maybe buses and trains will be exploding from Cairo to Copenhagen to Cleveland.

We pray it’s the former. But after watching a generation of American misadventures in the Middle East, we know not to order our “Mission Accomplished” banners prematurely — which it seems Trump did shortly after the attack by saying, “the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”

We’ll see. For now, all we can say with any real certainty is that the Founders would not have approved of Trump’s unilateral path to war. After all, they’d just fought a long, hard revolution. They’d seen the awful price paid in blood and treasure. And as a result, they carefully put the power to make war in the hands of the branch that’s the least — not most — prone to use it.

Congress must now act quickly to authorize this war — or end it.

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.

2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.

3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.

4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.

5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.

6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.

7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.

8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.

9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.

10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

A recent report on child poverty in South Carolina showed the rate dropped slightly — from 20% of the state’s children in poverty in 2019 to 19% two years ago. On its face, that sounds promising.

But storm clouds are on the horizon with tight-fisted federal fiscal policies from a Trump administration that seems to want to make the rich richer at the expense of the poor and middle class.

Threatened are the very kinds of government programs that reduced child poverty from about one in three kids two decades ago to one in five now — food stamps, special tax credits for the working poor, housing subsidies and the dread of the Republican Party — Obamacare.

If federal safety net programs are cut in South Carolina — and all over the country — tougher, hungrier days are ahead for too many families. The new KidsCount report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation found 215,000 children under 18 are in poverty in the Palmetto State. The study found South Carolina ranked 38th in child well-being, a slight improvement over previous years.

Community partners with a federal feeding program talk with a community member at an outreach event in North Charleston in February 2025. USDA photo.

“With too many children lacking health insurance and too many living in areas of concentrated poverty, children and their families are vulnerable in our state,” said Sue Williams, CEO of Children’s Trust of South Carolina, in a statement earlier this month.

During the Obama administration, there was a big statistical drop in what was considered the number of children in poverty because analysts reframed how they measured it. As highlighted in a 2015 Statehouse Report column, the feds implemented the new measure to more accurately reflect reality of the safety net — but all of this came with a caveat:

“The lower number, it seems, reflects the impact of state and federal intervention programs on the poverty rate. In other words, it shows that programs like food stamps, housing assistance, the federal Earned Income Tax Credit for working families and other social interventions are working. Without them, the true child poverty rate would be about one in three kids [in South Carolina] — approximately the same level as has been reported for years.

“ ‘Tax credits alone have decreased the child poverty rate by nearly onethird. Social Security, SNAP (food stamps) and housing subsidies also have contributed to significantly fewer children living in poverty,’ ” the report said.

What brought all of this on is that the standard, outdated Federal Poverty Level (FPL) used for years as a basis for distributing aid came under fire when conservatives complained that the nation’s 50-year battle with poverty had done little to cut the poverty rate. So in 2011, the Obama administration set out to measure the impact of assistance programs on people receiving help. This new measure, called the Supplemental Poverty Measure, found that aid programs really do make life better for people — not by giving them cell phones or microwaves, but by providing help with housing or food or credits for working.

But then as now, what all of this means is that today’s policymakers need to understand that what’s slowly working — the intervention programs — don’t need to be cut. In fact, child poverty likely would be reduced more if the state would expand Medicaid, build more affordable housing and boost nutrition programs.

The clear warning here is that if the Trump administration cuts safety net programs that impact more than 200,000 children in South Carolina, more will go hungry and live in poverty.

Fighting poverty in America isn’t easy. And to implement policies that will encourage it to expand would be fiscally and morally wrong.

Policy actions have impacts. Let’s not go down any path that cuts the safety net more. Investments in anti-poverty programs are smart over the long run, not a waste of taxpayer money like some of the talking heads claim. If you can’t get past the notion of keeping and expanding anti-poverty programs based on your checkbook, take a look at the good book and see what it might suggest.

Charleston, state scramble to deal with AI

By Jack O’Toole and Damian Bertrand

errifying threats.

Unprecedented opportunities. Change at the speed of a microprocessor. Across the country — and here in Charleston — that’s how experts are talking about the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence, or AI.

Driving that conversation, they say, are technological breakthroughs that have placed generative AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, in the hands of people and businesses across the world over the past three years.

But amid sensational headlines and breathless predictions of super-intelligent machines, governments, businesses and even everyday citizens are scrambling to prepare for — something. Even experts struggle to say exactly what.

As Charleston City Paper learned in a series of recent interviews, the Lowcountry’s digital harbor — and South Carolina — is no exception.

Charlestonians work to understand, prepare

While government officials work to formulate reasonable policies in Washington and Columbia, Charlestonarea business owners, professionals and academics are already navigating AI’s real-world impacts.

Mount Pleasant attorney and digital forensics examiner Steve Abrams told the City Paper that AI is already reshaping day-to-day legal work.

“It basically does what a clerk would do,” Abrams said. “If you had a practice with a big enough system to support a

law clerk, you’d send them for a couple of days to [prepare a] legal memorandum, and here the AI tool does it in about five minutes.”

But with the ongoing issue of AI “hallucinations” — put simply, made-up facts that popular chatbots sometimes invent out of whole cloth — Abrams noted that it’s not a “set it and forget it” solution. Lawyers need to carefully review every AI-generated document they intend to present.

Less excited about the technology is Jonathan Boncek, a former City Paper photographer who’s watching the rise of AI with concern for his freelance business.

“Clients might not want to spend their money to pay me, when they can just do some AI generative fill-in,” Boncek said.

“While it’s not massive yet, I do understand how AI is [moving] really quickly. So I’m just trying to prepare myself for what could be next.”

City Paper has been interested in AI tools, so we asked ChatGPT to create a self portrait instead of illustrated it in-house.

How do you feel about it?

feedback@charlestoncitypaper.com

Abrams

To that end, Boncek said he’s become a certified rapid transformational therapist — if not directly because of AI, at least with a wary eye cast in that direction.

“I’ve moved into a space that I believe AI won’t be able to touch, which is that human interaction and mental health space,” Boncek said. “I don’t think that AI is going to be able to help with mental health.”

On the academic side, College of Charleston Associate Professor of Literacy Education Ian O’Byrne said he encourages students to use AI as a “cognitive amplifier” for tasks such as organizing their work and sorting out the most important parts of lectures.

“Our students are busy, they have a lot going on in their lives,” he said. “If I can do something to help them out a little bit, I will.”

As for academic research that some say raises concerns about the technology, such as a recent MIT study showing that using ChatGPT significantly reduces brain activity, O’Byrne is skeptical.

“We’re already starting to see the ‘Is AI making us dumber?’ argument come around — this is to be ignored,” he said. “We fought that battle 20 years ago when we were [being told that] Google was making us dumber.”

A statewide strategy: Opportunity with guardrails

At a March 24 AI event sponsored by the nonprofit S.C. Council on Competitiveness, Beaufort County Republican Rep. Jeff Bradley, chair of the House Regulations, Administrative Procedures, Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Committee, talked up the state’s efforts to get government, business and educational institutions pulling in the same direction on AI.

“This collaborative effort marks a pivotal moment in our state’s technological advancement,” Bradley told attendees. “By leveraging our research institutions and fostering cross-sector collaboration, we can drive applied AI innovation, train and retain a competitive AI workforce, and position South Carolina as AI-ready.”

That effort produced its first tangible result in March 2024, when the S.C. Department of Administration (Admin) released its AI Strategy, which aims to promote and responsibly regulate the use of AI in the delivery of state government services.

At the time, Admin spokesperson Brooke Bailey told the City Paper that safety, not speed, would be the agency’s goal as it moved forward. This week, she said Admin is currently tracking 29 proposed use-cases for AI from various agencies, ranging from

internal chatbots and image-recognition tools to off-the-shelf software.

“Admin reviews each use case for security, risk, potential benefit and efficiencies, and continuously collaborates and engages with agencies as they implement approved use cases,” Bailey said.

What’s more, she says, the agency has established a Center of Excellence to provide oversight and governance to state agencies using AI, with subgroups focused on risk, compliance and procurement.

“Additionally, the agency is seeking to initiate statewide pilot programs … for ChatGPT and Microsoft Co-pilot,” she said.

Legislative initiatives: Protecting progress, people

Lawmakers say they’ve focused early AI legislation on keeping South Carolina business- and consumer-friendly, while cracking down on predators who misuse the technology — an approach Gov. Henry McMaster has lauded.

In particular, he cited the importance of recent legislation to protect minors from AI-enabled abuse in a May social media post.

“I’ve signed two bills into law that combat the creation, possession, and distribution of AI-generated child sexual abuse material,” McMaster said. “These laws will give prosecutors the tools they need to go after predators who use technology to harm and exploit our children.”

Protecting people from AI risk will also be the top priority of the S.C. House

“Ultimately,

I believe if we simply started looking at technology and the tech industry as products instead of services, then a lot of this stuff could be handled through [existing] consumer protection laws.”

—S.C. House AI Regulations subcommittee Chairman Brandon Guffey, R-York

AI Regulations subcommittee when it begins meeting next year, according to Chairman Brandon Guffey, R-York. In 2022, Guffey lost his 17-year-old son to suicide after he was victimized by an online predator’s scam.

“The last thing we want to do is stifle innovation,” Guffey said in a June 18 interview. “But we have to be quick to react [to new developments] to ensure we’re protecting people.”

That’s why he’s carefully watching proposed federal legislation that would prevent states from regulating AI for the next 10 years, he said.

“I don’t believe the federal government has any right to tell us we can’t protect our citizens,” he said. “But if the goal is to keep

states from stifling a specific industry, then yeah, I would agree states should not have that right.”

Looking ahead to 2026, Guffey said he wants to begin with a bill aimed at preventing companies from exploiting people’s personal information or likeness using AI.

“One of my primary goals is to make sure that people aren’t profiting off your voice or your image just because it’s [generated by] AI,” he said.

Beyond that, he said, he’d like to see a shift in the way AI is understood and regulated.

“Ultimately, I believe if we simply started looking at technology and the tech industry as products instead of services, then a lot of this stuff could be handled through [existing] consumer protection laws,” he said.

Charleston: ‘A big role to play’

Back in the Lowcountry, attorney Steve Britt, who serves as general counsel for the National Artificial Intelligence Association, says Charleston tech leaders are already ahead of the game when it comes to integrating AI into their operations.

“Charleston’s got a big role to play, and I think they’re approaching it the right way,” he told the City Paper in an interview last week.

But like Guffey, he worries about any effort to preempt state laws on the federal level.

“It’s not a very elegant solution, and it’ll be very difficult for Congress to enact,” Britt said. “We hope they move forward to a federal law on data privacy and AI [instead].”

Meanwhile, the College of Charleston’s O’Byrne is worried about overreaction as well.

“I feel like we fall into this trap of hyperbole and hysteria,” he said this week. “And I think a lot of the time, people don’t even understand what AI even is.”

Every day, and at every level, South Carolinians are working to close that AI understanding gap. And maybe, in the process, making the conversation just a little more grounded — and a little less breathless.

Culture

New album, old times for rocker Edwin McCain

By Vincent Harris

Well-known and talented South Carolina musician Edwin McCain will celebrate his first new album in nearly 15 years July 3 at The Windjammer.

The platinum-selling Charleston performer released a 10-song collection called Lucky earlier this year. And that means fans will soon hear McCain’s first newly recorded original songs since 2011’s Mercy Bound

But not TOO many new songs. McCain was part of a wave of South Carolina musicians who picked up national notice in the 1990s. He scored hits like “Solitude,” “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More,” and stood shoulder to shoulder with bands like Hootie & The Blowfish for a while.

And he knows that you want to hear those old songs.

“The first rule of show business is, ‘Give the people what they want,’ ” McCain said in a recent interview with the Charleston City Paper. “In fact, I’ve been teasing my audience for years about it. I walk out on the stage and go, ‘OK, tonight we’re doing all new songs,’ and they’re like ‘NOOOO!’ ”

Furthermore, he’s just fine with the audience’s insistence on hearing his classics. Because he’s one of those people, too.

“What people are drawn to is the way they discovered you,” McCain said. “And I’m guilty of it too. I always love the early stuff of whatever artist I love. When I go to see AC/DC, I want them to play mostly ‘Back in Black.’

“And everybody’s like that,” he added with a laugh. “The people who say they’re not like that are liars.”

Feeling ‘Lucky’

The fact remains, however, that McCain has a new album. And it’s one he says he’s proud of. It’s also one he had no intention of making.

“There was a voice in my head telling me to just get out of the way, old man,” the 55-year-old McCain said. “There are plenty of new artists coming up, and you don’t want to be jamming up the bandwidth. Just

Carolina musician Edwin McCain, 55, said he appreciates fans who love to hear the hits played at his live shows

“ There are plenty of new artists coming up, and you don’t want to be jamming up the bandwidth. Just go out there and play your shows and enjoy your slow fade into obscurity.”

—Edwin McCain

go out there and play your shows and enjoy your slow fade into obscurity.”

But that voice in his head had competition from a voice in his ear. Multi-platinum country singer, songwriter and producer Lee Brice, originally from Sumter, had been calling McCain incessantly for years about making a new album.

McCain’s hesitance wasn’t just about feeling irrelevant. He just wasn’t a fan of studio recording.

“I never really liked being in the studio,” he said. “It was a tedious thing for me.”

Brice assured him that the days of cutting albums to 2-inch tapes were over, and that recording technology had come a long way in 14 years. McCain finally gave in and recorded the 10 songs that make up Lucky with Brice producing.

One of the standout performances on the album is “Love Me or Leave Me Alone,” a

grinding, sparse soul-blues ballad that sees McCain’s flinty, passionate vocal style still fully intact.

It’s also an example of an older, wiser performer. McCain didn’t write “Love Me or Leave Me Alone.” Songwriter Chris Gelbuda did. In the past, outside material was a rarity on an Edwin McCain album.

“I used to demand of myself that everything on my records be written or cowritten by me,” he said. “And then after a while you just want to know if this is a great song and can I make it better. If the two answers are yes, then I’ll at least try it.”

Just like old times

As happy as McCain is with the new album, the idea of playing a show at The Windjammer seemed to make him nostalgic for the days when he played with acts like Cravin’ Melon, Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, the Blue Dogs and other South Carolina bands that seemed on the verge of national success.

“I always look at The Windjammer as a continuation or an acknowledgement of how lucky I am to still be doing this after 35 years,” he said. “Back then, we really couldn’t have been more blessed to have been musicians in Charleston. We all supported each other, and it was an incredible moment in time. And I’m a result of that period of time.”

South

A City Gallery exhibition sees ‘Southerness’ through standout artists

The notion of “Southerness” can seem as slippery as a Bulls Bay oyster, particularly given how culture today is powered more by algorithms than postal codes.

From the styles we sport to the slang we sling, Southern culture is no longer wholly spun from local cloth. Rather than the folksy, loaded “Bless your hearts” or once-ubiquitous seersucker, contemporary life in the South is as often informed by parts unknown rather than by what’s around the corner.

That’s not stopping South Arts.

Even as the region’s defining characteristics morph and shift, the Atlanta-based nonprofit organization shapes its mission around Southerness. The aim is to promote vitality and foster exchange in the region, and to do so by tapping artists spanning the Southeast, from nine states specifically: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

On June 27, the organization’s annual traveling exhibition will return to Charleston, bringing along dozens of new works created by artists recognized by its 2024 Southern Prize and State Fellowships. On view June 27 to Aug. 3 at City Gallery, it opens on June 27, with a free reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Prizing place

Last week, I ducked past surrounding condo construction and into City Gallery. The great uncrating of the show was underway, including some containers sufficiently expansive to nearly defy entrance.

Guided by City Gallery manager Anne Quattlebaum, I traversed haunting photographs by Robyn Moore that offer a new lens on Kentucky. I took in a yet-to-beinstalled vast and magical knotted textile work that calls Georgia home, the folk craft-infused creation of Zipporah Camille Thompson.

Each piece comes with bona fides, as the hallmark two-pronged initiative of South Arts recognizes a standout artist from each of its nine affiliated states. Those fellows then compete for the Southern Prize, with $25,000 awarded to the artist whose work demonstrates the highest artistic excellence.

According to Shannon Rae Lindsey, 2024 Southern Prize and State Fellows Exhibition curator, Southern artists use a variety of mediums and processes to express their identity, culture, environment–to build their own constructs or subvert those they have been placed into, historically and today.

“Artists based in the American South, either by origin or relocation, express our identities, experiences, hardships, and joys visually and unapologetically. The nine 2024 South Arts Southern Prize State Fellows for Visual Arts are no exception,” Lindsey said in the exhibition catalog.

Artful engagement

Take this year’s Southern Prize winner: Alabama-based Anthony (Tony) M. Bingham is a multi-disciplinary artist whose evocative pinhole photographic images

and light-filtering sculptures explore communities and public space, particularly historic sites of the enslaved, and are created to inspire conversations.

A distinctly Southern feel inhabits numerous works by South Carolina artist Charles Clary. Vintage wallpaper reveals distressed slabs of drywall, under which are meticulously cut, sinuous-seeming paper patterns in an unfolding of childhood trauma.

In a technicolored departure, Louisiana-based artist Macon Reed draws from their experiences in queer, punk and DIY cultures, resulting in an eye-popping, bright profusion of three-dimensional works made from materials such as wood, velvet, cardboard, paper clay and rubber. In an upstairs corner of City Gallery, “These Are Not Fables” features a vibrant blue chandelier resting askew on the floor.

There’s more on view, as well, by artists Nelson Gutierrez of Tennessee, Isys Hennigar of North Carolina, and Brooke P. Alexander of Mississippi.

Throughout, there is a sense of the South, one perhaps fraying like the throwback wallpaper in Clay’s mementos, indigo-tinted as Thompson’s “sculpted shapeshifters.” And it is evident throughout that these artists, our neighbors, are connected still by the region’s complex past, while contending with a fractured present.

The sleek, cool gallery that gathers the works looks out to Charleston Harbor, past the cheerily burbling pineapple fountain emblematic of the city’s muchheralded hospitality — and farther still to a squatting, resolute Fort Sumter. From one crisp white wall to the next, it is clear that it still leaves its mark on this place we call home, printed and woven, painted and carved.

IF YOU WANT TO GO: City Gallery is located at 34 Prioleau St. in downtown Charleston.
