LARGEST SELECTION OF PROUD SPONSOR OF GOOD TIMES

CBD PRODUCTS IN TOWN!

To market to market, to buy … anything. Almost every day this time of year, you can find an artist market around town featuring some of Charleston’s most talented. For most anything else, I’d say there are too many, but I can’t get enough of local creative markets. The list of local artists who I’ve seen posted up inside pop-up tents go on to have their work tacked to the walls of downtown galleries (and beyond) is too long to remember. Not only do you have a chance to find those creative rising stars at local markets, you get to experience the passion of desk jockeys who load up their station wagons after working hours for markets like this Saturday’s Crafty Bastards Arts and Crafts Fair at the Joe. In its third year, the festival (a City Paper joint, full disclosure) has attracted some seriously fun contenders with a diverse array of offerings perfect for holiday gifts or your own enjoyment. Who could get tired of that? See you this weekend! —Sam Spence

Taking Care

Transgender S.C. children could be harmed with bill, advocates say

BY SKYLER BALDWIN

A bill was filed in the S.C. House of Representatives on Nov. 20, Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day set aside to remember and honor those who have lost their lives to trans violence. But this bill does nothing to address such intolerance, and some say it could perpetuate the violent acts.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 12.04.2019

Proposed by S.C. Rep. Stewart Jones, a Republican from Laurens, the bill’s sole sponsor, H. 4716 is currently sitting in the House Committee on Medical, Military, Public, and Municipal Affairs.

Jones’ proposal was framed as a bill to help children, but the proposal’s language troubles members and allies of the LGBTQ community.

JONES The bill, titled The Youth Gender Reassignment Prevention Act specifies that trans children under the age of 18 would be unable to receive medical interventions to:

6

• Suppress the development of endogenous secondary sex characteristics.

• Align the patient’s appearance or physical body with the patient’s gender identity.

• Alleviate symptoms of clinically significant distress resulting from gender dysphoria.

While Jones has said that trans kids would still be able to get mental health services, counseling, and medication, the bill defines “gender reassignment medical treatment” as any health care that “facilitates the transitioning of a patient’s assigned gender identity

to the gender identity experienced and defined by the patient.”

Put simply, it bans doctors from providing a wide range of medical treatment to those under the age of 18 for gender dysphoria, the distress people feel caused by a mismatch between their gender identity and assigned sex at birth.

“This is essentially state-sponsored deadly violence against trans kids,” said American Civil Liberties Union attorney Chase Strangio on Twitter. “This bill deliberately disregards clear science and medicine confirming that treating youth w/ gender dysphoria consistent with their affirmed gender saves their life. It tells providers to violate their oath. It tells trans kids they don’t matter. And it tells me: see you in court.”

“The way this bill is written, it is only setting things up to cause harm to trans kids,” adds Chase Glenn, executive director of the Alliance for Full Acceptance. “As long as trans kids are not able to receive the mental health counseling, their medications, or the treatment to alleviate their distress, it’s harming people.”

The recurring phrase throughout the bill reads: “gender reassignment medical treatment,” the obscurity of which is the driving force behind much of the opposition.

However, it’s the explicit aspects of the bill that has Glenn concerned.

“You shouldn’t just be able to delay treatment,” Glenn concludes. “We are

talking about kids who have an extremely high rate of suicide, so you are really playing with something that’s not just about delaying care. It could potentially affect someone’s overall mental emotional well-being, and that’s the difference between someone feeling like they want to take their own life or not.”

The S.C. bill comes at an already-critical time for the vulnerable LGBTQ community.

In the past year, studies have begun to shine a light on the difficulties that LGBTQ patients experience in receiving routine medical care and at least four black trans South Carolina women have been killed since 2018.

“I think for a lot of trans folks in South GLENN Carolina to read something like that — it feels like a gross attack on the trans community,” says Ivy GibsonHill, the community health programs director for the Campaign for Southern Equality. “To particularly target youth like this is what makes it feel particularly gross to me. It’s politicians thinking they know better than doctors do about our health and that they should be able to legislate our access to care.”

Jones did not respond for requests for comment. Advocates also see a danger in situations where a doctor knows the medical course of action for a particular patient, but is prevented by law to pursue that treatment.

“I could only imagine what it would feel like, as a doctor, to be told they couldn’t

treat these kids or give them what they need,” Glenn adds.

A small line clarifies that services like mental health counseling would not be under scrutiny, but there is no such note for medication. One of the most common medications given to trans children are hormone suppressants, which delay the onset of puberty, giving the child and their parents time to decide on more permanent solutions later on.

Looming over the clear health concerns is a much more nuanced idea.

“It’s a complicated situation, so I get what they are trying to combat with this bill,” Glenn explains. “But, as much as I hate to admit it … any bill related to people in the transgender community, whether it’s this bill or a bathroom bill, it is about appeasing a conservative base and throwing red meat to them during election season. That is using trans children as political pawns, and in my opinion, that is not OK.” While Glenn says he understands the bill’s intent, others have different opinions.

“I think a lot of it comes from fear and not understanding that we are people too,” Gibson-Hill says. “We are your neighbors, your friends, your preachers, and your teachers, and there’s nothing to be scared of here.

A lot of it is based on a false narrative of who trans people are.”

The CSE has worked with other organizations and groups to put together a directory of more than 400 Southern health service providers they have confirmed to be trans-friendly and trans-competent, called Trans in the South: A Guide to Resources and Services, that can be found at southernequality.org.

$8.3 million LAWMAKERS FRUSTRATED WITH STATE UTILITY REGULATORS

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 12.04.2019

House and Senate members on both sides of the aisle are finding common ground in expressing frustration with the state’s utility regulators.

The S.C. Public Service Commission has drawn renewed scrutiny after a November staff directive that would create the cheapest solar rates in the nation, which solar industry advocates say would effectively end new solar investment in the state. The directive isn’t final yet.

Some lawmakers see the proposal, which would slash utilities’ reimbursement for solar field generation and keeping contracts to 10 years, as an affront to the unanimouslypassed Energy Freedom Act in May. “The PSC decision shows they actually moved backward in regard to opening up solar markets to fair competition,” Beaufort Republican Sen. Tom Davis tells Statehouse Report, CP’s sister publication. He was

one of the lead advocates for the Energy Freedom Act. There are at least two bills in the current 2019-2020 legislative session that seek changes on the commission: House Bill 3641: Introduced in January

by Rep. Gary Clary (R, Pickens) this bill would require commissioners and staff to attend at least six hours of continuing education curriculum, allow and direct the audit of public utilities by the Office of Regulatory Staff, and impose nomination qualifications. It has been in the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee since introduction.

House Bill 4260: Introduced by Rep. Micah Caskey (R, Lexington) the Ratepayer Protection Act isn’t solely focused on the PSC. But it includes

stringent ethics requirements for commissioners. The House passed the bill 105-1 in March. It is now in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“It’s got to be a top priority to impose ethical restrictions so we can restore some confidence in the system but I’m also at a point where we need to more seriously consider wholesale renovations of the system,” Caskey says. “In my mind, we made it clear in the Energy Freedom Act that South Carolina should be a state that has a balanced portfolio of power generation.”

Caskey and others said more bills may be filed as the directive is finalized and lawmakers delve into the issue further. To be sure, the PSC has landed on the legislative radar. For Davis, though, he says he continued on page 11

S.C. RANKED 42ND FOR BIKE FRIENDLINESS IN NATIONAL CYCLING GROUP’S ANNUAL REPORT CARD

The 2018 Bike Friendly State Report Card ranks South Carolina 42 out of 50 in a list of best states for bicyclists, one spot lower than last year’s report.

The detailed analysis judges states in several categories, including infrastructure, education, planning, legislation, and policies.

In every category, S.C. was given a C-, except for Legislation & Planning where the state earned a D+.

The Bicycle Friendly State Report Card is an annual study, conducted by the League of American Bicyclists, that examines information obtained from state agencies and advocates.

In the report, the League has a host of recommendations for the state to better protect its cyclists, asking S.C. to install a protected bike lane along state roads and educate engineers on how to plan for pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure. The report also suggests that the state legislature work with the Department of Transportation to provide funding for bicycle safety education.

These recommendations come one year after a report from the South Carolina Highway Safety Plan showed that Charleston was the deadliest city in the state for pedestrians, with 26 traffic fatalities 2011-2016. A 2018 study also found that S.C. has the fifth highest rate of pedestrian deaths in the country.

Cyclists in Charleston have fought for safer streets in the Holy City for years. Last month, cycling advocates received a victory when it was announced that the federal DOT would help fund the Ashley River pedestrian bridge. —Heath Ellison

continued from page 8 isn’t sure any reform can fix what he says is broken.

“The PSC is almost beyond the legislature’s ability to cure,” he says, adding he would advocate for complete system reform.

“We can’t fix it, because the very model is flawed whenever you have a PSC passing on what consumers pay.”

Davis, who served as Gov. Mark Sanford’s chief of staff, said he wants the market to dictate the price and move the state toward a regional transmission organization, rather than a “regulated monopoly.” Regional transmission organizations, implemented in about half of the country, are independent nonprofits that non-profits optimize supply direct to consumers from wholesale electric power. —Lindsay Street

NORTH CHARLESTON POLICE WORKING WITH FBI AND TEXAS RANGERS ON 40 -YEAR- OLD COLD CASE North Charleston police are working with the FBI and Texas state law enforcement to piece together details after a killer serving a life sentence confessed to killing a woman in area 40 years ago.

Last year, the FBI published a list of 93 confessed crimes reportedly committed by Little, who is serving three life sentences in California for murders there and in Texas. One S.C. confession in the Charleston area had to do with a black 28-year-old female who Little reportedly killed between 1977 and 1982, leaving her body near a military base along a busy road.

Last week, North Charleston police spokesperson Karley Ash sent a request for information regarding the identity of a woman from the area that may have been Little's victim. Ash says that police

have been in touch with the FBI and Texas Rangers regarding the case.

“Investigators believe she was known to frequent the Spruill and Reynolds area of North Charleston between 1975 and 1982,” a police flyer reads.

“She could have been reported missing or found dead of unknown/suspicious circumstances” during that time, police say.

“NCPD detectives are in the process of pulling unsolved, missing, or unknown death cases with victims between 1977-1982 that fit Little’s mode of operation to see if they might be the victim of the alleged murder,” Ash told the City Paper last week.

Anyone with information about the incident are asked to call the NCPD Tip Line at 843-607-2076. —Sam Spence

BLOTTER O’ THE WEEK

The Blotter is taken from Charleston Police Department reports. We’ve added a cartoon and a little commentary. We’ve added a little humor, too. No one has been found guilty. This is not a court of law.

A man was found asleep on a public bench. Right next to his head in the shrubs was a handgun, which he said was not his “due to being a convicted felon.”

A woman awoke one morning to find that her and her husband’s wedding rings were missing from their bedside, where they placed them the day before. This is either a theft or the most unnecessary way of saying, “Honey, I want a divorce.”

One man discovered a golf ball-sized crack in his fireplace’s glass door. He suspects his neighbor in the next door apartment who he has a regular feud with.

It must be nice living in a sitcom.

A man ran out of a CVS with a stolen bottle of prescription pills. When he got to his friend’s car, he told him to quickly drive away.

His friend refused to help in the theft, keeping the car in park until the police arrived. They probably should have discussed this beforehand.

When a man recovered his stolen truck, he found a device titled “Suck My Dick” connected to his car’s Bluetooth.

Police found a Sublime vape cartridge, 5 grams of marijuana, and a Band of Horses marijuana holder inside a man’s vehicle.

Judging by his taste in music, weed is probably a hobby of his.

A downtown woman was followed by a white van with a Meals on Wheels sticker. The driver drove next to her and attempted to convince her to get inside the vehicle. She did not and upon recounting the incident to her younger sisters, she discovered that they had similar interactions with the driver.

During a simple assault, a man pulled a “whole knife” on someone, according to a police report.

A man awoke one morning to find that the $700 he had stashed away in a Newport cigarette container was missing.

Christmas must have come early for one chain-smoking thief.

An offender already placed on trespass notice entered a West Ashley convenient store to ask if there was any free food.

One handgun was stolen from an unlocked vehicle.

One rifle, one shotgun, two pellet guns, and a handgun were stolen from a locked house.

IN WHOSE INTEREST?

A FEW WORDS | BY ANDY BRACK

News to Use Free press needed now more than ever The other day after a church meeting, someone commented, “We need a free press now, more than ever.”

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 12.04.2019

Let that sink in.

Why would someone say that? Is it because he doesn’t like the bombast of President Trump or she doesn’t like the preening of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? Is it because they’re worried about the legitimacy of what they read on Facebook, Twitter, or the Internet?

More than likely, it’s any or all of those things — but also something bigger: Trust. Americans, divided into warring factions of what they believe, increasingly have problems with trusting information that they receive from institutions in government as well as those that say what’s going on in government.

We are living in a period of history where we have more information than ever, but it’s blurred by unrelenting negative talk, “fake news,” lies, misrepresentations, soundbites, and incomplete information. We are so overloaded by information that we find it hard to sift through and process everything before the next assault hits.

So how can you manage too much information? Perhaps you can curb and diversify your media diet. Find multiple sources of information — not just newsjunk put out by the tribe that spouts what you want to hear. If you’re a Democrat, you might need to focus less on The New York Times and more on The Wall Street Journal. If you lean Republican, tune in occasionally to CBS or PBS instead of Fox. Despite what some people believe, reporters do not exist to make up news. Reporters are objective and report what they see, hear, and uncover.

“Our democracy depends upon citizens having informa-

14

tion about the activities of our government, and a press free from governmental control is essential to the functioning of our society,” says Jay Bender, longtime legal counsel for the S.C. Press Association.

The reason there is a constitutional protection for freedom of the press is because the British crown censored information during colonial times, Bender says. Patriots during the American Revolution fought to be free of the shackles of royal rule, including its curbs on information.

Then, as now, more information is better than less. Attacking verifiable facts is counterproductive and anti-democratic.

“The instinct of those in government today to attack the press and restrict the flow of information to the public is inconsistent with a government by the people and for the people,” Bender says. “A vigorous, free press is a wall between us and an autocracy, and must be defended for our democracy to survive.”

Richard Whiting, executive editor of the Greenwood Index-Journal, suggests the misplaced chants of “fake news” or the press being an “enemy of the people” are trickling into our towns and counties.

“It’s not just mainstream media that is under attack,” he says. “It’s the hometown newspaper that shares with its readers little Johnny’s victory on the football field, Suzie’s volleyball win. It’s the hometown paper that shares the story of a family’s struggles as their child battles a lifethreatening disease, or the family burned out by continued on page 18

Good column (“New Charleston City Council members have the voters’ permission to push for change” by Sam Spence). Single member districts were created to improve diversity in government, not to create enclaves where the needs of the at large voters are ignored or sidelined by parochial interests.

I for one regret the tendency of many single district candidates and incumbents to neglect what are the highest and best interests of the community they must serve.

TAKING A PAGE

I pulled out [Nathalie Dupree’s] cookbook today from 1993 that I use every year to make her yam soufflé (“Tips and wisdom from Charleston’s own celebrity chef Nathalie Dupree” by Stephanie Hunt). The page is easy to find as its splattered and stiff from 26 years of making it.

A Lowcountry legend for sure.

FB USER ANGELINA WILLIAMSON

A PEELING

I never peel my potatoes: That is the best part (“Nathalie Dupree’s mashed potato recipe” by Nathalie Dupree). And I don’t like milk in them, makes them too slimy. I like them slightly lumpy, and the peels just add to the texture. I even like to add in lady peas to make them even more extra. To each his own, though.

GROWING A SOLUTION

Fascinating article (“Heron Farms is turning sea level rise into food” by Gabriela Capestany). I give him tons of credit for finding a solution. The flooding is getting so bad in certain areas that people have to raise their homes which ruins the streetscape.

Do the Right Thing These rare whales are migrating to our coastline right now — let’s help them survive

This is the time of year that one of the rarest creatures on the planet — the North Atlantic right whale — heads south, en masse, to the Atlantic waters off our southeast coast. The species is on the verge of extinction, with only about 400 North Atlantic right whales left. Less than 100 breeding females remain.

The whales migrate 1,000 miles south from Nova Scotia and New England to give birth to their calves in the waters off South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

At least we hope they give birth. Two years ago, zero right whales were born.

Last year was better, with researchers counting seven calves born.

But hope dimmed when 10 whales were found dead last summer at the northern end of their migration route. All of them were killed by human activity. In just the past two years, 30 whales have died from ship strikes or by getting entangled in fishing gear — the leading causes of their mortality.

These deaths are preventable.

This fall, Earthjustice and the Conservation Law Foundation won a major legal victory to keep right whales safe from dangerous fishing gear. A federal judge ruled that the National Marine Fisheries Service violated the Endangered Species Act by opening 3,000 square miles of protected habitat east of Nantucket and Cape Cod in 2018 to gillnets — giant walls of mesh suspended in the water that entangle anything that swims into them, including right whales. In a move that will help more right whales survive, the judge ordered the area closed to that gear.

On the whales’ southward journey down the Atlantic seaboard, they face a different threat — also preventable — It’s hard to imagine seismic air-gun blasting. Five private corporations want to how a newly use seismic air-gun blasting in the Atlantic to search for oil born baby right and gas under the ocean. The Trump administration gave approval a year ago for the companies to “incidentally, but whale could be not intentionally, harass marine mammals” in a huge swath expected to cope of the Atlantic Ocean stretching from Virginia to Florida.

The noise blasts from this activity are as loud as jet with continuous engines, and they repeat about every 16 seconds for days, blasting noise. Or weeks, or months. Underwater, the sound can carry as far how a mother could as 2,500 miles.

This is a big problem for right whales and other sea creacommunicate with tures which rely on sound to communicate and find prey and her calf to make sure mates. The whales have no way to protect themselves against she’s not separated the punishingly loud sound. Studies around the world show that air gun blasts can kill scallops and other shellfish, reduce from her vulnerable commercial fishing catches, make sea turtles erratic, and new baby. interfere with whales’ ability to communicate and feed.

It’s hard to imagine how a newly born baby right whale could be expected to cope with continuous blasting noise. Or how a mother could communicate with her calf to make sure she’s not separated from her vulnerable new baby. It’s cruel and unnecessary.

After the Trump administration gave approval for the private companies to start air-gun blasting, we and others went to court to stop it. Nine conservation groups, along with many states and municipalities along the Atlantic coast, filed a legal challenge against the permits because they violate the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act. The case is ongoing, and the plan for air gun blasting has been on pause — for now.

To understand how critical it is to keep North Atlantic right whales safe from disturbances like this in the only calving ground they have on the planet, consider that a female right whale doesn’t breed until she’s 10, and her pregnancy lasts a year before the calf is born.

CRAFTY BASTARDS ARTS & CRAFTS FAIR

e hope you’re surviving — and even thriving in the craziness that is the holiday season. It’s ironic, isn’t it, that a time of year that is supposed to invoke peace and joy has evolved into a season of disruption and anxiety? We won’t get all philosophical on you, don’t worry. We’re just here to say — we see you, and we get it. We understand the frustration that surrounds the act of giving and receiving gifts. And we want to help.

If you’re going to buy something for your loved ones — and you are, we know you are — you might as well buy something hand-crafted, beautiful, and locally made.

Keeping money in our community is great, and supporting artists supports our whole city.

City Paper’s annual crafts festival, Crafty Bastards, will feature over 70 local and regional vendors, selling everything from fine jewelry to cute ornaments.

You don’t need to buy everything. Hell, you don’t need to buy anything (the self-sustaining artists would love it if you did, though). Just come hang out, browse the goods, and appreciate all the time, effort, and patience involved in their creation.

This week, we talked to some of the patient, talented, and crafty makers headed to Crafty Bastards this weekend. Here’s what they had to say.

—KNOW BEFORE YOU GO — Crafty Bastards takes place on Sat., Dec. 7 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Joe Riley Park (the RiverDogs ballpark at 360 Fishburne St.). The event is FREE to attend, and parking across the street is $5.

We recommend carpooling, walking, or biking.

In addition to the artisans, food will be available for purchase from local vendors (like Rootnote and Roti Rolls) as well as alcohol.

Please leave your pets at home. This event is kid-friendly and is rain or shine.

and Dubai before coming to Charleston. “I wanted to bring this style to the states,” Raispis says. Since she started making personal fascinators five years ago Raispis says that she has gotten constant compliments on her pieces. Last year she decided to start making them to sell and share with others.

Raispis describes her product as an “everyday fascinator” made for any occasion. After experimenting with eight different designs Raispis finally settled on her current style: two pieces of leaf-shaped felt and decorative feathers graced around a unique button.

ESSENTIALLY ETHEL JACKIE RAISPIS

One new Crafty Bastards vendor this year hopes to create a fashion trend among Charlestonians. Jackie Raispis creates a type of hairwear called “fascinators” which she sells though her business, Essentially Ethel, both locally and on Etsy.

The fascinators are essentially felt, button, and feather hair clip accessories inspired by proper English hats. Raispis was motivated to create the fascinators after finding a lack of options to accessorize her short hair. “I’ve always had short hair, that’s just how it has been,” she explains. “I looked all over the world [for something] and figured I’d make fascinators myself.”

Originally from Ireland, Raispis is a true global citizen, having livedin places such as Australia, Mexico,

—Jackie Raispis

“For the pieces, I was inspired by vintage style like what you see in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Raispis explains. Her grandmother Ethel also served as a source of inspiration and the company’s namesake.

“She always wore hats and dressed to the nines,” Raispis recalls. “There’s definitely a market for [vintage style] that has come back into play again.”

Each and every fascinator that Raispis creates has a vintage origin and is completely unique. Raispis buys her buttons from sources that send her bulk bags full of vintage material. “I rarely ever see two buttons alike,” she says.

In addition to her fascinators, Raispis has started to create a line of pocket squares featuring detailed feathers. Her pocket squares will make their retail debut at Crafty Bastards where Raispis will be selling them alongside her fascinators.

“I wasn’t sure that I would get into the show because I’m so new to this, but I did and I’m so excited,” she says. “I’m working ‘round the clock to make sure that everything is perfected. There will be a lot of feathers flying around this time next month.”

FRED PRUDHOMME POTTERY FREDERICK PRUDHOMME

Perhaps the best phrase that could be applied to Frederick Prudhomme’s pottery is “Art, interrupted.”

Prudhomme first studied ceramics at the University of Idaho, eventually leading to a residency at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Mont.

The foundation was the perfect place for a young man interested in making pottery; it’s a non-profit educational institution founded in 1951 by Bray, a brickmaker and philanthropist who intended it to be, in his own words, “a place to make available for all who are seriously and sincerely interested in any of the branches of the ceramic arts; a fine place to work.”

But Prudhomme switched directions early in his career as many budding artists are forced to, pursuing a career in the business world instead. It’s only within the last few years that he’s been able to return to ceramics full time.

Luckily, Prudhomme’s skills remained intact, continued on page 22

charlestoncitypaper.com

“I wasn’t sure that I would get into the show because I’m so new to this, but I did and I’m so excited.”

Craft continued from page 21 and he began making simple-yet-striking pieces with an equal interest in aesthetic beauty and practicality.

A typical Prudhomme work, like a mug or bowl or jar, is subtly attractive, using muted colors and impressionistic patterns to say a lot with a little. One can almost see a desert plain or a deserted beach in some of his pieces, but his approach is never overt. There’s an almost dreamlike quality to his work that allows it to both attract attention or serve a larger design scheme simultaneously.

“I favor warm, softer colors, strong lines, and vessels which feel good in your hands,” he says.

And as Prudhomme alludes to in that statement, what’s even better is that this is art you can actually use, something that he takes a great deal of pride in.

“Form and function are two separate and distinct elements in my pots,” he says. “While function often dictates elements of the form, there is wide latitude to be explored.”

’90s choose-your-own-adventure novels, your choice on the homepage will either take you to the bright pastel world of Holly Oddy or the dark and mystic realm of The Hidden Hand Society.

“I never thought about it this way until recently, but Holly Oddly is very much my manic side and The Hidden Hand Society is very much my depressive side,” says L’Oiseau, who was diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder. “There are people who are drawn to both, so I love being able to do what I love even though it’s not necessarily one cohesive thing.”

Inspired by shows like The Office and Game of Thrones, and things proper Southerners wish they could say, like “I

wasn’t born with enough middle fingers,” Holly Oddly is a collection of cards, pins and prints that are as cheeky as they are bright.

The Hidden Hand Society is something else altogether: pins of hands, eyes, and black cats with made up (or not) societies like the No Eye Contact Club.

“I get some side-eye from having items with curse words,” admits L’Oiseau. “So when there’s a craft fair called Crafty Bastards, I’m like, ‘These are going to be my people.’” —Enid Brenize continued on page 24

CURTIS HAYDEN’S SOAPS LOOK GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT

Craft continued from page 22

HAUS OF HYGIENE CURTIS HAYDEN

What do pastries and handmade vegan soaps have in common? Curtis Hayden, for one.

The pastry maker turned soap artisan says he uses pretty much the same techniques when making both. Hayden works soap materials into a consistency that can be piped, like icing from a pastry bag, into intricate and colorful soap designs.

He makes “soap dough” that’s soft

enough to mold by hand so he can make sand dollar shapes for his best selling “Bahama Mama” scent.

“I literally use a stick blender which you use for things like sous vides and soups. I use a kitchen blender for my bath bombs and bubble bars. I work out of my kitchen,” says Hayden. “I always loved the intricacy and design of pastry work. This is basically the same.”

Some of his soaps resemble colorful coral seascapes. Others contain a healing quartz crystal tucked into a floral-scented soap bouquet. For Crafty Bastards, he’ll introduce several new products including two moon soaps that he’s never released, hockey puck shaped molds with snowmen piped onto them, gingerbread houses, and Christmas tree bubble bars.

Nearly all of his products, from bath bombs to soap to facial cleansers, are vegan and carefully crafted for sensitive skin. His Rosy Cheeks Vegan Face Wash, his best selling product overall, has rave reviews on his Etsy page for its healing benefits.

“It’s a really great face wash for almost every skin type,” says Hayden. “I’ve had this one forever and it’s tried and true.” Almond meal gently exfoliates while calamine powder and rose clay tone down redness.

The cleanser also contains four essential oils for targeting various facial imperfections — lavender oil balances, bergamot helps with scar repair and dark spot healing, lemon oil brightens, and frankincense helps to tone continued on page 26

OVIDIO ACEVEDO Colombian-born Ovidio “OviArt” Acevedo is an artist whose passion for art and music drives his paintings; he creates unique, street art-inspired works. Currently based out of Greenville, Acevedo spends his free time away from work in his studio with his acrylics, painting vibrant, abstract portraits.

“I would love to turn my art into something more permanent,” he says. “I want to create my own brand and paint murals. It would be a dream to do it on an everyday basis.”

Since he was nine, Acevedo learned his true passion can be found in art, and he has been drawing and painting ever since.

He primarily uses acrylic paint on canvas, but on occasion, combines it with spray paint and paint markers. Acevedo has also experimented with linoleum prints and screen printing to put his art on T-shirts.

As a more recent development, Acevedo also creates his work digitally, using the ProCreate app on his iPad Pro. When painting or creating a piece in general, Acevedo says he can’t do anything without music in the background. It’s what keeps him motivated and focused.

“I have a set playlist on Spotify, so every time I’m in the zone, that’s what I listen to,” Acevedo says. “There’s various genres on it — punk rock, jazz, reggae, and everything in between. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of underground hip-hop and hip-hop in Spanish. Damian Marley and Skip Marley, though, are two of the most frequent artists I listen to.”

He enjoys participating in shows like Crafty Bastards because he gets to showcase his art and meet others like him. For him, it’s a fun experience to get to meet a lot of new people and share his love for art, as well as learn some new things along the way.

“My daily inspiration is my wife, Michelle,” he says. “Without her support and her being my number one fan, none of these shows would happen.”

“She keeps pushing me to do better everyday and try different methods, and I owe it all to her.” —Michael Pham OVIDIO ACEVEDO IS BASED IN GREENVILLE, S.C.

Fashion and art collide in Meyer Vogl Gallery’s upcoming High Fiber exhibition. Fashion is an art in itself, but this show examines clothing and textile design from a visual arts perspective. The exhibition features four artists who primarily work within the mediums of paint and ink and who share one thing in common: they offer stunning representations of textiles ranging from the conventional beauty of an intricate tablecloth to minimalist illustrations of high fashion design. Locally based artists Carrie Beth Waghorn and Paul Ferrari are represented as well as visiting artists Adrienne Stein and Melanie Parke.

“I’ve had the idea for a fabrics-inspired exhibition brewing in my mind for a few years now,” says gallery director Katie Greer.

“I love figurative art. And, while I have such an appreciation for nudes and more abstracted figurative work, I kept finding myself really excited when I’d see artists making work in which the clothes that their subjects were wearing were as important as the subjects themselves. Each of the four artists in this show brings a unique perspective to being inspired by fabrics.”

Ferrari’s work led to the initial inspiration for the exhibition, says Greer. The gallery has represented him for years, and, as a former fashion illustrator for Ralph Lauren in New York, fashion plays an important role in his work. The

show will feature his paintings as well as some of his old illustrations. “His attention to fabric and patterns is innate,” says Greer. “He paints these beautiful figures, but they’re also often wearing the most beautiful clothes. That feels so unique to me. Paul approached me about a new series he had been wanting to work on, and it seemed like the perfect time to do the fabricsinspired show I’d been dreaming of.”

Local artist Waghorn is best known for her monochromatic, minimalist, and typically nude female figures, but she started explor-

ing fashion design and wearable art with the launch of her clothing line, World Ink Project, last year. With her dual attention to fashion design and visual illustration, Waghorn is “an obvious addition to the group exhibition,” says Greer. “In addition to her minimalist figurative paintings that we show in the gallery, she also makes clothes. For High Fiber, she has created both paintings and a 3-D installation.”

Greer has also invited two artists to participate in the show whose work has never been featured at the gallery before now — Adrienne Stein and Melanie Parke. “Adrienne is an incredible realist figurative painter who puts an emphasis on both nature and vibrant fabrics,” explains Greer. “[She] paints figures, mostly women, adorned in fabrics, but with her work, the fabrics work more to accentuate the figure, like bright flowy fabrics draped over a female’s body.” Her paintings carry mythical and historical elements and feature women in environments rich in detail and dressed in fabrics that complement their surroundings.

Parke, on the other hand, paints interiors and is the only non-figurative painter in the show. “If Carrie Beth is a minimalist, Melanie is a maximalist; her paintings are a feast of mixed patterns and bold colors,” says Greer. “I realized that a show that focused on fabrics didn’t have to be restricted to clothes on bodies. Melanie paints the most dreamy, light-filled interiors with mixed patterns strewn across the room. Imagine a kitchen table with a blue-and-white striped tablecloth and colorful Otomi napkins juxtaposed against a bright floral wallpaper. I’ve loved both Adrienne and Melanie’s work for years and was so thrilled when they agreed to be in the show.”

In addition to displaying local artists’ work year-round, the Miller Gallery also supports artists and makers through pop-up events and book releases — both of which you’ll find in the gallery this month.

On Fri. Dec. 6 starting at 5p.m., the Miller Gallery will host the launch of Island Haus Co during their Friday evening art walk. Island Haus Co, founded by Renee Gutzwiller, is a coastal-themed home decor and greeting card company that’s joining the Miller Gallery space.

The launch celebration will feature tons of holiday cheer, freebies, and giveaways.

The first guests of the night get a free gift, and everyone will receive an Island Haus Co greeting card with any purchase.

In addition, the gallery will be packed with new, original pieces ranging from $40-$300. Local candle company Lucerna Planta and the jewelers of Naked Eyes will be present as well to educate guests on their craft and share their products.

On Sat. Dec. 14, 5-7 p.m. the Miller Gallery will host a book release and miniexhibit for Minette Hand’s new book Present, In This Way. Hand is a freelance photographer from Shreveport, La. She is currently based in Charleston, but her landscape and destination photography has taken her all over the world, including Mexico, Canada, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Chile, and Italy. Her photography has been featured in many local projects, including TEDxCharleston and the Charleston Wine + Food festival.

Present, In This Way follows Hand’s journey through Wyoming and Montana, exploring everything from the valleys of Yellowstone to the peaks of Beartooth Highway. —Alison Mader

a la carte WILD COMMON LAUNCHES 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS COCKTAIL MENU

Twenty-Four Hours

There’s more to holiday imbibing than a festive table decked with eggnog and mulled cider — more than stockings hung with care and stuffed with mini bottles. It’s time to cheers to the old and celebrate the new.

So why should the drink in your hand be relegated to the blasé?

“Presentation is very important,” says Wild Common general manager Simon Stilwell. “If all you’re afraid of is someone having to do a little extra work, that shouldn’t stop you from doing it.”

Since September, Stilwell and his team have been putting in the extra work, curating a special 12 Cocktails of Christmas list that is available only through the month of December.

Using the restaurant’s regular cocktail menu as a guide — drinks are either ‘wild’ or ‘common’ — Stilwell and team decided to define their dozen cocktails as ‘naughty’ or ‘nice.’ While one may consider the naughtiest drinks the booziest, at Wild Common, the naughty drinks veer more untraditional (think tequila and tiki), and the nice drinks all boast some kind of adherence to theme (gingerbread and hot toddy).

With a background in organic chemistry, Stilwell is all about the process, the way certain spirits interact with citrus, chocolate, sweet, bitter. After he makes sure it tastes great, he makes sure it looks great, too. Here’s a rundown of the dozen drinks:

BJ Dennis and Marcus Middleton host old school, pit-smoked barbecue on Wadmalaw

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 12.04.2019

BY MARY SCOTT HARDAWAY

They’ve cooked a whole cow before.

Last year, chefs BJ Dennis and Marcus Middleton participated in Gumbo Jubilee in New Orleans with host Howard Conyers, an S.C. native and pit master extraordinaire. “It was definitely an eye-opener,” says Middleton. “Conyers gave us a lot of notes, lots of advice.”

But they haven’t cooked a whole animal here, together, using a cow from a local friend and farmer. Using every bit of the cow. Staying onsite for “the whole shebang,” as Middleton puts it.

This Sunday’s barbecue DENNIS will take place somewhere on Wadmalaw (you receive the address when you purchase your ticket online) from 3 to 5 p.m. In addition to the meat, Dennis says there will be freshly baked brioche, sweet tea, leafy greens, turnip salad, and purloo.

Dennis and Middleton will be cooking one of George and Celeste Albers’ young bulls — it will only be a half, Dennis notes, because a whole cow would simply be too much food.

Dennis says that on a visit to their farm, Celeste told him, “I’ve always wanted to do that with one of my cows.”

Barbecue consumption in the Carolinas is nothing new; both frequent and fraught with controversy (family infighting, style disputes, a history permanently marred by both racial and political scars), Carolina ‘cue is smoked, mopped, pulled, and eaten all over the state, iterations varying from region to region.

In fact, the history of barbecue in the Carolinas dates all the way back to colonial times. CP food critic and ‘cue historian Robert Moss writes in Barbecue Lover’s the Carolinas, “... the earliest historical references to barbecue explicitly discuss whole animals (most commonly, whole hogs) cooked over a bed of coals — that is, low and slow over direct heat ... By the early 18th century the English were cooking barbecue from the Carolinas all the way up to New England.”

No hog for Dennis and Middleton, though. “It dates back to the 1700s,” Dennis says of this whole animal barbecue tradition. “In the records, there is everything, goat, deer, cow, pig.” While we now (at least around this neck of the woods) almost immediately associate barbecue with pork, in the 18th century, burgeoning

pitmasters used whatever they could get.

“The livestock for a barbecue was usually donated by members of the community,” writes Moss. “And they gave whatever they had on hand and could spare. In addition to pigs and chickens, it was common to see beef cattle, oxen, sheep, lambs, and goats served.”

As Moss details, the low and slow cooking of whole animals was an “essential thread in the social fabric of the Carolinas.”

A thread woven into contrasting narratives: there were white hosts, free to throw barbecues whenever they were able, and enslaved hosts of African descent, who got loved ones together when they could. By the early 19th century, after a series of slave revolts around the country, the gatherings, Moss writes, “began to be seen as threats by slaveholders in the Carolinas” with governcontinued on page 36

KinFolk A stone’s throw from Kiawah, KinFolk occupies the tiny space once inhabited by Crave Smokehouse.

With snug seating for two dozen, it’s something of a shack in its own right. There’s a welcoming “door’s always open” vibe that permeates everything from the decor to the food. Served on a slice of white sandwich bread and accompanied by three lightly brined breadand-butter pickles, the chicken itself is at once crisp and juicy. Arguably, it’s at the hot level that the dish achieves true Nashville distinction. The melange of black pepper, smoked paprika, and sweet sugar hit first, followed by a slow burn at the back of the throat. The chicken’s inherent blandness helps to temper any real intensity, and the heat lingers for just a few seconds. In other words, order it this way if you can. 4430 Betsy Kerrison Pkwy.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): In composing this oracle, I have called on the unruly wisdom of Vivienne Westwood. She’s the fashion designer who incorporated the punk esthetic into mainstream styles. Here are four quotes by her that will be especially suitable for your use in the coming weeks. 1.

“I disagree with everything I used to say.” 2. “The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.” 3. “Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, and things that have nothing to do with reason.” 4. “I’m attracted to people who are really true to themselves and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I’m drowning in the things I never told you.” Famous make-up artist Alexandra Joseph wrote that message to a companion with whom she had a complicated relationship.

Are you experiencing a similar sensation, Taurus?

If so, I invite you to do something about it! The coming weeks will be a good time to stop drowning.

One option is to blurt out to your ally all the feelings and thoughts you’ve been withholding and hiding. A second option is to divulge just some of the feelings and thoughts you’ve been withholding and hiding — and then monitor the results of your partial revelation. A third option is to analyze why you’ve been withholding and hiding. Is it because your ally hasn’t been receptive, or because you’re afraid of being honest? Here’s what I suggest: Start with the third option, then move on to the second.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’ve got some borderline sentimental poetry to offer you in this horoscope. It may be too mushy for a mentally crisp person like you. You may worry that I’ve fallen under the sway of sappy versions of love rather than the snappy versions I usually favor. But there is a method in my madness: I suspect you need an emotionally suggestive nudge to fully activate your urge to merge; you require a jolt of sweetness to inspire you to go in quest of the love mojo that’s potentially available to you in abundance. So please allow your heart to be moved by the following passage from poet Rabindranath Tagore: “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars. Your world has broken upon me like a flood. The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Try saying this, and notice how it feels: “For the next 17 days, I will make ingenious efforts to interpret my problems as interesting opportunities that offer me the chance to liberate myself from my suffering and transform myself into the person I aspire to become.” Now speak the following words and see what thoughts and sensations get triggered: “For the next 17 days, I will have fun imagining that my so-called flaws are signs of potential strengths and talents that I have not yet developed.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An interviewer asked singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen if he needed to feel bothered and agitated in order to stimulate his creativity. Cohen said no. “When I get up in the morning,” he testified, “my real concern is to discover whether I’m in a state of grace.” Surprised, the interviewer asked, “What do you mean by a state of grace?” Cohen described it as a knack for balance that he called on to ride the chaos around him. He knew he couldn’t fix or banish the chaos — and it would be arrogant to try. His state of grace was more like skiing skillfully down a hill, gliding along the contours of unpredictable terrain. I’m telling you about Cohen’s definition, Leo, because I think that’s the state of grace you should cultivate right now. I bet it will stimulate your creativity in ways that surprise and delight you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poet Juan Felipe Herrera praises the value of making regular efforts to detox our cluttered minds. He says that one of the best methods for accomplishing this cleansing is to daydream. You give yourself permission to indulge in uncensored, unabashed fantasies. You feel no inhibition about envisioning scenes that you may or may not ever carry out in real life. You understand that this free-form play of images is a healing joy, a gift you give yourself. It’s a crafty strategy to make

By Rob Brezsny

sure you’re not hiding any secrets from yourself.

Now is a favorable time to practice this art, Virgo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In accordance with current astrological omens, here’s your meditation, as articulated by the blogger named Riverselkie: “Let your life be guided by the things that produce the purest secret happiness, with no thought to what that may look like from the outside. Feed the absurd whims of your soul and create with no audience in mind but yourself. What is poignant to you is what others will be moved by, too. Embrace what you love about yourself and the right people will come.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I swear I became a saint from waiting,” wrote Scorpio poet Odysseus Elytis in his poem “Three Times the Truth.”

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you may be in a similar situation. And you’ll be wise to welcome the break in the action and abide calmly in the motionless lull. You’ll experiment with the hypothesis that temporary postponement is best not just for you, but for all concerned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “My greatest asset is that I am constantly changing,” says Sagittarian actress and activist Jane Fonda. This description may not always be applicable to you, but I think it should be during the coming weeks.

You’re primed to thrive on a robust commitment to self-transformation. As you proceed in your holy task, keep in mind this other advice from Fonda.

1. “One part of wisdom is knowing what you don’t need anymore and letting it go.” 2. “It is never too late to master your weaknesses.” 3. “If you allow yourself, you can become stronger in the very places that you’ve been broken.” 4. “The challenge is not to be perfect. It’s to be whole.” P.S. And what does it mean to be whole? Be respectful toward all your multiple facets, and welcome them into the conversation you have about how to live.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can’t escape your past completely. You can’t loosen its hold on you so thoroughly that it will forever allow you to move with limitless freedom into the future. But you definitely have the power to release yourself from at least a part of your past’s grip. And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do just that: to pay off a portion of your karmic debt and shed wornout emotional baggage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian playwright August Strindberg didn’t have much interest in people who “regurgitate what they have learned from books.” He was bored by stories that have been told over and over again; was impatient with propaganda disguised as information and by sentimental platitudes masquerading as sage insights.

He craved to hear about the unprecedented secrets of each person’s life: the things they know and feel that no one else knows and feels. He was a student of “the natural history of the human heart.” I bring Strindberg’s perspective to your attention, my dear one-of-a-kind Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to fully embody it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “It’s no fun being in love with a shadow,” wrote Piscean poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. And yet she indulged profusely in that no-fun activity, and even capitalized on it to create a number of decent, if morose, poems. But in alignment with your astrological omens, Pisces, I’m going to encourage you to fall out of love with shadows.

The coming weeks will be an excellent time to channel your passions into solid realities: to focus your ardor and adoration on earthly pleasures and practical concerns and imperfect but interesting people.

PHISH’S DECEMBER RUN IN CHARLESTON COMES 20 YEARS AFTER THEIR LEGENDARY BIG CYPRESS MILLENNIUM CONCERT

Phishtory in the Making Phish winds down their 2019 tour with three nights in Charleston

BY STRATTON LAWRENCE Phish Fri. Dec. 6-Sun. Dec. 8 7:30 p.m. $170 North Charleston Coliseum 5001 Coliseum Dr. North Charleston

It’s been 10 years since Phish reunited, ending their second hiatus since forming in 1983. In their “3.0” phase, the iconic jam band visited Charleston twice for two-night runs in 2010 and 2016. But when they touch down at the North Charleston Coliseum this Friday, it’ll mark their first three-night stand in the Lowcountry and a rare tour-ending performance in the South.

Phish no longer embarks on extended tours that attract caravans of traveling “phans” who form pop-up cities in parking lots. In 2019, they only scheduled 40 shows and three are this weekend. In anticipation, we caught up with a few Phish aficionados to discuss their phandom and the band’s present tour.

“I can’t even wrap my head around why they’re doing this,” admits Andy Greenberg, who moonlights from his West Ashley dentistry practice as the lead guitarist and singer in Runaway Gin, a Charleston-based Phish tribute. Greenberg fell for the band as a teenager growing up in Florence and saw his first show at the North Charleston Coliseum in 1995. He compares the room’s vibe and sound to Virginia’s Hampton Coliseum or a “baby Madison Square Garden.”

This month marks the 20th anniversary of Phish’s Big Cypress millennium concert, considered a high-water mark in their career.

Many phans consider the ’90s to be Phish’s

Steve Lemintani

RUNAWAY GIN MEMBERS ANDY GREENBERG (RIGHT) AND BOBBY HOGG (SECOND FROM RIGHT) ARE HAPPY WITH PHISH’S MOVE TOWARD A MORE COHESIVE STRUCTURE

peak years, punctuated by intense musical builds led by guitarist Trey Anastasio.

Although Phish still occasionally stretches an improvisational section beyond 20 minutes, today’s band is more likely to find less guitardriven pockets of space to explore.

“It’s a totally different vibe than the late ’90s,” explains Greenberg, who strategically schedules his dental practice to fly off for Phish mini-tours. “They’re as cohesive as I’ve ever heard them, in that uncanny mind-reading kind of jamming — it almost seems like they have a greater psychic connection than they’ve ever had in the past.”

After re-forming in 2009, phans debated if and when the band would get back to the level of jamming they’d reached in the previous century. Greenberg believes it’s all about perspective: “If Phish continued to write these monster compositions like they did in the ’90s, we might have lost interest. Some songs become

stagnant as jam vehicles because they’ve done them for so long. There are no big ‘You Enjoy Myself’ jams anymore, for example. That roller coaster is the same as it was in 2012, but there are new rides at the amusement park.”

Greenberg cites newer songs like “Ruby Waves,” “Light,” and “Mercury” as the catalysts for today’s most memorable improvisational sections. Creatively, he believes, they’re at a new peak, evidenced by the Halloween 2018 release of new material as fake Scandinavian prog rockers Kasvot Växt.

Runaway Gin bassist Bobby Hogg, who also plays with local Grateful Dead cover band Reckoning, discovered the band as a teenager from his sister’s bootleg cassette tape of a 1992 show in Isla Vista, Calif.

“I didn’t really get it, but I was trying to understand because she was three years older continued on page 57

CRAB CLAW IS MORE CARTOONY THAN USUAL IN NEW ANIMATED VIDEO FOR “SELF-SABOTAGE”

Outrageous indie group Crab Claw is back with “Self-Sabotage,” a new song and music video that hits all the band’s big beats: self-reflection, humor, and debauchery.

“We recorded that over the summer with Wolfie [Zimmerman] at Rialto,” says songwriter Walker Trull.

“Self-Sabotage” depicts a good life for the singer. He’s happier than he’s ever been, he’s got a great girlfriend that loves him in more than a few ways, and they’re living together in a nice new apartment. But, the song asks, how do you handle happiness when all you’ve known is chaos?

“Just fuck your life up and then you have stuff to write about,” Trull jokes about a period of writer’s block partially inspired by the lack of bad times.

The video was animated by Grant Lindahl, an artist that works for comedycentral.com. “He follows me on Instagram and reached out to me and we worked out a trade,” says Trull.

“Christian [Chidester], the guitarist, and I are going to record six one-minute acoustic songs for this web series he’s working on called Holy City Zoo,” in exchange for the video’s animation, he explains.

According to Trull, the title is just a coincidence and the series has nothing to do with Charleston. Holy City Zoo is currently in preproduction and it will “be a while” before the show is released. —Heath Ellison If you or your band is about to enter the studio, hit the road, or has a special gig coming up, contact Heath Ellison at heath@charlestoncitypaper.com.

When rapper 9neintu went into a photoshoot dressed in a suit and tie and doused in fake blood, he didn’t realize that he was laying the groundwork for an alter ego. Somewhere between the flash of the camera and the photos being processed, the local hip-hop artist began to wonder how far he could take this burgeoning character he named Sebastian Slick.

“I always try to live in a foreshadowed mindsight,” says 9neintu. “I want to speak everything into existence and just live forward.

Sebastian is ultimately who I want to be.”

The Life and Times of Sebastian Slick, released Sept. 30, took the rapper roughly a year to record and write. “I think it took me a lot more time because I wanted to perfect it and put out an album instead of just a mixtape where I’m just rapping and mulling over things,” he says. “This is a background story from an alter ego and my real self. Listening to that and then seeing how I move, as a person, as an artist, you can definitely take that and grasp it.”

To represent the dual personalities on the record, 9neintu had to draw a distinction between himself and Sebastian Slick.

The former is a rapper — in your face and lyrical — while the latter is a different side of the equation.

“Slick is more subtle and smooth,” 9neintu

says. “That’s where a lot of my vocals as far as singing and harmonizing come from.”

The way 9neintu fluently switches from one persona to the other is like ice melting to water; it’s the same substance, although its form is drastically different, and the change is rarely permanent.

On songs like “Coordinates,” Sebastian’s smooth, melodic style takes center stage.

9neintu’s vocals emphasize the texture of the music’s speaker shattering low-end. Even in the verse, he takes his time instead of rapidly tossing lyrics at the listener.

“Pesos (ft. Blvme Chu Chu)” abandons the album’s largely dark and minimal production for a bright, tropical, and Latininfluenced beat.

If there’s ever a distinction between 9neintu and Sebastian, it’s most apparent on the LP’s breakneck-paced track, “Germ.”

For the majority of the song, 9neintu spends his time looking to the next bar, avoiding a conventional hook just to add more lyrics.

“She giving her brains out like a nerd/ I’m blowing that cannabis smoke/ I make a move, never say a word/ I’m focused on playing my role/ you know where I go,” he quickly and calmly raps.

“Damage,” according to 9neintu, is the track that best finds the dichotomy between himself and Sebastian. “ ‘Damage’ is the ins and outs of my life, ins and outs of what I feel like the industry’s going to be like,” he says.

“Get rich or die trying. I feel like that’s the goal. Ultimately, it’s about establishing what’s within yourself, as a person, as an artist. For

me, it’s about being known.”

Local producer DBLCRWN worked on every beat with 9neintu, providing a cool, self-assured darkness to represent Sebastian that the artist could rap over.

Although the LP’s got plenty of content and a story behind the music, 9neintu says that Life and Times is not a concept album.

“It’s more of random pieces of literature,” he says. “[It’s] a book made up of small books.

It has a concept, which is a storyboard, but from there I’m telling you so many different things in different ways.”

The opportunity to swap personas was a liberating change of pace, he adds.

“Building this project — it’s helped me to release because I’m a serious person,” 9neintu says. “If I’m messing up, I’m beating myself up about it, but to be Sebastian Slick is carefree. It’s like, ‘I don’t care, I’m gonna do what I want to do, and you’re gonna feel how you want to feel.’ ” “It’s an adventure,” he laughs. “It’s more eventful being Sebastian Slick.”

Sebastian will probably make a comeback in the future, the rapper speculates, for a second volume, but he wants to make sure that the character’s persona doesn’t take over his career. “I think that 9neintu will be unveiled again, very soon,” he says.

Burnless Flame Production will celebrate 9neintu’s most recent LP at the Slick Affair on Dec. 6. Entry is free, but attendees are required to dress well. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and libations will be provided.

continued from page 55 than me and she was cool,” Hogg recalls. One song, “Lizards,” spoke to him because of its calypso feel, setting a spark that eventually took him to over 70 Phish shows.

Today, he says “Lizards” is a favorite to perform with Runaway Gin. “The bass part is entirely composed,” says Hogg, adding that Phish songs are generally far more difficult to learn than Dead tunes. “A lot of people think Phish is just a jam band, but they have these eight-minute songs that have no improvisation. That’s not that common anymore, outside of jazz or classical music.”

That’s a characteristic of Phish’s music that brought local guitarist Lee Barbour back to the band earlier this year.

“The combination of weirdness and humor and the complexity of the material — it just hit all the right places,” says Barbour about finding the band in the mid-1990s. He auditioned for the jazz program at the College of Charleston with “You Enjoy Myself,” but stopped listening to Phish when he dove deeply into jazz studies.

That lasted until the national touring Phish tribute group, Jazz is Phish, reached out and asked him to join. He completed his second tour, a West Coast run, in November.

“Phish has so many dimensions; people could grow with the band in a way that you couldn’t do with other bands in the ’90s,” says Barbour, adding that he thinks new lis-

teners will still find Phish long after they’ve played their last show. “The music has been so well documented and the catalog is so vast. In the same way that other bands are shared and passed down, I think it’ll have the same effect in 2050 that it did in the 1990s.”

Hogg — who will travel to New York to see Phish on New Year’s Eve after attending the Charleston shows — believes that 2010s and 2020s Phish will also stand the test of time. “There’s less ego in the band now — they’re all equal parts in creating this sound, as opposed to Trey ripping solos off of a rhythm section.”

Hogg says he loved the ’90s era of Anastasio shredding, but he appreciates the band growing as musicians. “You can’t keep doing the same thing for 30 years,” he says. “You’ve got to change as a performer to enjoy it, and hopefully if you enjoy it, everyone else will too.”

By the numbers, that strategy is working.

Each of Phish’s three concerts this weekend sold out within minutes of going on sale.

That’s due to a combination of the tour-closing run attracting out-of-town phans and the continued growth of Phish’s popularity with a new generation.

Greenberg expects special things to happen this weekend. “They have time to stretch out.

A three-night run gives the band a chance to settle in and create a broader narrative.”

Runaway Gin will play a Phish afterparty at the Pour House at 10 p.m. on Fri. Dec. 6.

Tickets are $15/adv, $20/dos.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about Charlton Singleton’s Holiday Spectacular at the Music Hall is that it’s happening at all. Singleton, the former music director of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra, has spent the last few years becoming an international sensation with his Gullah and jazz project, Ranky Tanky. The band was recently nominated for a Grammy and has been burning up the road since the release of their chart-topping self-titled debut album in 2017. With the follow-up, Good Time, it doesn’t look like 2020 will be any less busy for the trumpeter, vocalist, and bandleader. But somehow, Singleton found time to create a holiday show this year, a tradition he began back in 2016. And the setlist will be full of jazzed up versions of both traditional Christmas songs and more recent favorites. The theme of the show is “Your Perfect Holiday Concert,” and you can expect to hear chestnuts like “Santa Baby,” “Jingle Bells,” “This Christmas,” along with material by Michael Bublé, Eartha Kitt, Nat King Cole, Mariah Carey, Donny Hathaway, and many more. The full lineup hasn’t been announced, but the list of performers might just include some of Singleton’s friends from Ranky Tanky, or any number of the distinguished musicians he’s worked with in other Music Hall events over the years. It might also be the last time we see Singleton for a while; after the holidays, he’ll no doubt be back on the road spreading the Gullah music gospel all around the world. —Vincent Harris THURSDAY

TOM WAITS COVERS | Jockey Full of Bourbon Tom Waits’ piano ballads are something to ponder. His distinct, prolific voice connects to the instrument, and the combination has pushed the modest musician to be a true and eclectic songwriting icon in American music. A local tribute to Waits’ music, titled Jockey Full of Bourbon, will give Charleston artists the opportunity to share the singer’s grandiose melodies with listeners. All of Waits’ cornerstone elements — odd and personal lyricism, jazz, guitar blues — will be included in this night of music. Waits’ first album, Closing Time, is regarded as a prolific record for the early ’70s folk scene in California. Since then, his career has been filled with honest lyrics and components of jazz that have made Waits revered among many listeners who come in contact with the musician. Jockey Full of Bourbon will span across Waits’ career and will include unique styles from musicians covering his music.

Guest artists such as Bill Carson, Joel Hamilton, Conor Donohue, Lindsay Holler, Sam Sfirri, George Baerreis, and more will be on the stage to help carry Waits’ music forward into another year.

ROCK & ROLL | Patterson Hood Drive-By Truckers’ frontman Patterson Hood has been busier than usual in the four years since his cross-country move to Portland, Or. “Anytime you make a huge life change, it’s going to impact the art one makes,” he told the City Paper.

“I think I badly needed a change of pace and it certainly has impacted everything, mostly for the better. The first year I was here, I wrote an op-ed for The New York Times, published a short story, delivered a commencement address, spoke at the Clinton Presidential Library, wrote several articles for various publications, and also wrote the lion’s share of Drive-By Truckers’ American Band album, plus kept up my usual touring schedule with the band and as a solo act.” It is the latter endeavor that brings him back to the Lowcountry this week for an intimate performance at the Pour House. “The current solo tour,” Hood says, “will feature songs from my whole catalog. DBT stuff, old and new, as well as stuff from all three of my solo albums, and maybe even some brand new songs that haven’t been recorded yet. There will also be some storytelling and general banter, more than a DBT show provides.” Hood also conveys that this might be the last chance to see him in such a setting for quite a while. “After this run, I will be out a ton next year with Drive-By Truckers as our new album, The Unraveling, is coming out Jan. 31, 2020.” —Kevin Wilson THURSDAY

POWER-POP | Dear Blanca Power-pop group Dear Blanca is doing a live recording at the Royal American to mark the end of one era and the beginning of another.

“Marc [Coty] has been involved with Dear Blanca since day one and sadly he is moving to Colorado at the beginning of the year,” says Dylan Dickerson about the band’s drummer. “We wanted to take this opportunity to document the Marc-era of Dear Blanca’s live shows before switching gears with someone new behind the kit in 2020.” The “Marc-era” that Dickerson describes has been a celebrated time for the band. They strived to create a musical atmosphere that invites fans to what Dickerson calls a “musical time capsule.” They want people to remember the music they are making. They want them to feel the rhythm and emotion that comes through their sound, and take it with them. “Maybe that’s what we’d like people to get out of our music,” says Dickerson. “A sense that despite the complex differences between people there is usually some sort of common thread that bonds us together.” Just as one door closes, another opens for Dear Blanca.

“We’ve got big plans for 2020,” says Dickerson. “We just wrapped up a new Dear Blanca record that we recorded at Rialto Row in Charleston.” The Columbia band is on a steady come-up in the music scene of Charleston and the live recording is bound to increase their esteem. —Abrie Richison FRIDAY

INDIE ROCK | Heyrocco Some bands have earned a place in the collective hearts of music scene fans and there seems to be a sweeping agreement that Heyrocco is one of these bands. For many, it was evident that there was something different about them. They were a confident, unapologetic, heavy grunge trio with a pure musical intention. The Charleston-native unit relocated to Los Angeles to pursue musical endeavors and it seems that the change of scenery has been artistically fruitful. Their new EP, Mexican Ashtray, is a booze-soaked, chaos-oriented offering with big guitars, big drums, and a raw edge. There is a soft, beautiful side to the record as well and it wouldn’t be Heyrocco without some of that magic, emotional touch. The West Coast influence is also apparent in the lyrical imagery and the sonic layout of the record, taking a bit of a different approach from their previous work. A couple of the songs happily hint at the late David Berman’s project, Silver Jews, with a twist. The band is on tour in December, taking them through 15 cities with welcomed, fresh, new material. —Jeffrey Wilson SATURDAY
