Looking Up

Local mentors build a mutually beneficial lifelong bond

BY SKYLER BALDWIN

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.29.2020

Kent Wagner says it’s hard for him to actually sit down and talk about his relationship with Chris Spann without sounding too cliche. What started as a rocky friendship grew into an unconditional bond that transcends what either of them could have expected.

regretted signing up because the relationships have an impact for both involved.

“One thing our big brothers say is that they are pretty sure they have made a difference in the life of their little brother,” Crowe explains. “But, they are positive their little brother made a difference in theirs.”

Wagner, who now works closely with Crowe to get volunteers for the program, says that there’s a waiting list for big sisters, but a waiting list for little brothers, highlighting the need for volunteers. In his case, though, he has never had trouble advocating for the work.

“It’s an easy sell because I believe in it,” Wagner says. “I’ve lived it, and I know how rewarding it is. When I talk about it with the people I meet, it’s coming from the heart, and that enthusiasm is translated pretty easily because it’s real.”

With Be a Mentor, Alex Moor, the group’s executive director, mentors a local sixth grader.

“Mentoring provides adults the opportunity to really reflect on what’s important to them in their lives — their core values,” Moor says. “It builds a stronger sense of what that means to you. It brings me so

much joy to be able to see my mentee grow through her successes.”

Whether they know it, the numbers give a sense for how much of an impact mentors can have on a young person.

“Students with mentors are 55 percent more likely to graduate,” Moor explains.

“One hundred percent of mentees graduated last year. Students with mentors are also more likely to hold leadership positions, which prepares them for life after graduation.”

Getting involved in either Big Brothers Big Sisters or Be a Mentor begins with an online application. While Big Brothers Big Sisters processes applicants to be mentors and mentees themselves, Be a Mentor partners with local schools, and after a screening process, helps to match the volunteer with a mentee in need of a mentor.

“What’s really cool about mentorship is that everybody has unique qualities they bring to the table to impact the lives of their mentee,” Moor says. “Everybody has unique skills that can be used for good when it comes to providing kids with someone in their life to look up to.”

HISTORIC BUILDINGS UNDAMAGED IN HAMPTON PARK FIRE LAST WEEK

6

A fire in a storage building in Hampton Park on the night of Tues. Jan. 21 did not damage nearby historic buildings slated for renovation in the coming years, officials say.

No cause for the fire has been identified, Charleston Fire Department officials told the City Paper on Wed. Jan. 22. A police spokesman says dispatchers were first alerted to the incident at Mary Murray Boulevard and Cleveland Street at 5:25 p.m. on Tuesday evening.

Within an hour, firefighters had the blaze under control as traffic was diverted away from the busy intersection near Rutledge Avenue and Grove Street and residents continued to play with their dogs in the nearby dog park.

While the shed sustained damage, nearby historic buildings slated for alteration by the Charleston Parks Conservancy were unharmed by the fire. Two years ago, the group was approved to build a new public event space near the corner of Hampton Park.

“There should be a formal, fair and rigorous selection process...”

—Will Haynie, the mayor of Mt. Pleasant who serves on the Charleston County Aviation Authority board, reacted before the board met on Mon. Jan. 27 and offered the position to County Council Chairman Elliott Summey without a search.

Under those plans, the shed itself would be completely demolished and replaced with expanded parking and the nearby horse stable building will be replaced with a new, modern-style building. The stable, which was last used by police and carriage companies, has gone unused in recent years. The small caretaker’s house, which sits next to the horse barn off Mary Murray Boulevard, is slated to be renovated to include a historical exhibit of the park, according to the plans.

College Park, the adjacent baseball stadium that’s used as a practice field for the Citadel, was also undamaged in the fire.

On Wednesday, Parks Conservancy director Harry Lessane said the group is raising money for the Jubilee Hall project, but no timeline has been determined. Phase one of the project, the renovation of the snack bar nearby into the Rose Pavilion, was completed in 2019. —Sam Spence

NEW CHARLESTON INITIATIVE WOULD INCENTIVIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN OPPORTUNITY ZONES

Last month, members of Charleston City Council voted to leverage federal Opportunity Zone (QOZ) incentives to stimulate the development of affordable housing in the designated areas. The measure passed through Council on Dec. 17, but not without some skepticism from members.

QOZs are areas that are designated economically distressed according to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, where the concept was first enshrined into law. These zones are meant to encourage investment in low-income communities, thanks to a tax credit for investors that put money in Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOF), investment vehicles that are organized with the intent of devoting capital to QOZs. First proposed by U.S. Sen. Tim Scott in 2016, Opportunity Zones have been on the receiving end of some criticism that they could exacerbate gentrification in low-income areas. Majority Whip Jim Clyburn indicated worry that the program would amount to “a tax credit for rich investors,” and some early examples indicate that that could be what’s happening. In December, Scott proposed additions that would build in accountability measures.

“The city of Charleston sought to offset any potentially negative effects of the Opportunity Zones by creating an additional incentive for affordable housing,” says Jacob Lindsey, the city’s director of planning, preservation, and sustainability. “So we were proactively creating our own additional regulations so we could gain more affordable housing in Opportunity Zones.”

Gov. Henry McMaster designated eight census tracts as OZs in Charleston County, including some in areas of the peninsula that have already seen heavy investment in recent years. A total of 128 tracts have been approved as Opportunity Zones.

Councilmember Robert Mitchell’s Eastside district includes parts of the downtown QOZs. Even though he voted in favor of the program, he is still concerned about the location of the zones.

“It’s going in various areas that sometimes don’t need the Opportunity Zone in it because they have the money and the resources to do the things that they need to do,” Mitchell told the City Paper. “I think it’s going to help a little in some areas that we need it, but I need it more in these blighted areas, mostly.”

Developers using QOFs can apply to delay federal taxes on capital gains, but if a developer is building affordable housing, Lindsey says the project can automatically qualify with the city for higher residential density and lower parking requirements. “What the developer gets,” Lindsey says, “is a time bonus, effectively.”

Support for the measure was strong, but some members were cautious. “I do feel like the federal law has been put into motion prior to having the thoughtfulness of how it’s going to be regulated and enforced to the level of accomplishing the goals that are stated by the sponsors in Congress,” said Councilmember Carol Jackson, who represents James Island. “We’re trying to basically frame up a requirement that we have no control over.”

“I applaud the city for ways to get affordable housing, but I was against Opportunity Zones from the beginning,” said now-former Councilmember James Lewis. “If you look at the way this design is drawn — it’s drawn for the rich folk. It’s drawn for the developers… All the development that’s going on down there, it’s been going on. It’s just another level of funds to help the rich developers get their properties, and get tax breaks, and it’s not benefiting the neighborhoods.”

Lindsey says the city has taken steps to ensure developers follow through on commitments to build the lower-cost housing.

The city’s to leverage QOZs was preceded by local legislation. North Charleston Rep. Marvin Pendarvis introduced a bill (H.3186) in 2018 to provide added incentives if a comapany commits to benefit the community before they invest in an Opportunity Zone.

“Our biggest problem is going to be trying to attract investments to those areas,” Pendarvis told the City Paper. “You’re going to have to have a developer that feels like it makes sense, but we also have to make sure we make it make sense, and give them the kind of incentive they need, but also hold them accountable to make sure it’s something mutually beneficial so that the community benefits, as well.” —Heath Ellison

N Three Questions With Presidential Candidate …

Amy Klobuchar Until the S.C. Democratic Party primary on Sat. Feb. 29, we will publish candidate responses to three questions on issues facing local voters along with a brief analysis of each from two CofC professors. For more, visit charlestoncitypaper.com/threequestions 1. What would you do now and in the future to address climate change’s impact, particularly for poor and rural residents of coastal communities?

Sen. Klobuchar will introduce sweeping legislation to combat the climate crisis that includes a massive investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency, climate-resilient infrastructure, climate research and innovation, rural energy development, and better, greener transportation.

She is deeply committed to leaving no one behind through investments in climate adaptation and support for frontline communities. As President, she will make sure vulnerable communities are a key part of decision making, increase federal funding to invest in infrastructure and jobs in communities that are most directly experiencing the effects of climate change, and strengthen environmental justice programs at the EPA. 2. How would you deal with enduring, stark racial inequalities in places like South Carolina?

Sen. Klobuchar believes we must beat back decades of systemic racism, discrimination, and inequality. That begins by focusing on economic justice and opportunity, which means investing in underserved areas, providing early-childcare, fixing inequalities in our education system, addressing racism in health care such as disparities in maternal and infant mortality rates, overhauling our country’s housing policies by totally eliminating the Section 8 backlog and ending housing discrimination, and tackling racial disparities in wages and in retirement savings. Sen. Klobuchar is also committed to cutting child poverty in half within a decade and ending it within a generation.

3. Why should South Carolina voters support you Feb. 29?

Sen. Klobuchar is running for President to bring people together, take on the challenges facing our country, and to get things done. In the Senate, she has passed more than 100 bills as the lead Democrat on issues like infrastructure, election security, and preventing shortages of life-saving medications. And she has a track record of winning big. She has won every race, every place, every time — including places President Trump won by more than 20 points — and she will get our country back on the path of progress with an ambitious, optimistic economic agenda for our country.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.29.2020

According to the experts …

8

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s campaign is based on a simple strategy: do well in Iowa’s first-in-thenation caucuses and carry that momentum into New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.

Unfortunately for Klobuchar, this strategy, sensible as it may be, does not appear to be working.

Although research has shown that momentum can indeed play an important role in nomination contests, in our recently published book on the South Carolina presidential primary we discovered that a strong performance in Iowa has a weak relationship with a candidate’s performance in South Carolina. For example, in 2004, then-Sen. John Kerry won the Iowa caucuses but lost to N.C. Sen. John Edwards by over 15 percent in South Carolina.

No doubt the reason for the weak relationship between the Hawkeye and Palmetto states is their vastly different Democratic nominating electorates. One of the key differences is that South Carolina Democrats are more conservative than Democrats in Iowa.

Given the state’s greater conservatism, one might expect Klobuchar to do well in South Carolina. She is a bona fide moderate, having won three statewide elections in Minnesota, and has spoken out about the dangers of the growing national debt. However, her message has not resonated in South Carolina. According to the Real Clear Politics polling average, she only has support from 1.3 percent of likely voters in the Palmetto State.

Another key finding in our book is the importance of endorsements in the South Carolina primary. We found that key endorsements from South Carolina political leaders carry considerable weight with the state’s primary voters. In this area, Klobuchar is also well behind her chief rivals. Joe Biden continues to be the polling leader in South Carolina and also has the most endorsements, including support from state Sen. Marlon Kimpson, state Rep. Marvin Pendarvis, and longtime Charleston Mayor Joe Riley.

All in all, Amy Klobuchar needs a quick turnaround to have a chance in South Carolina’s “First in the South” primary.

Jordan Ragusa and Gibbs Knotts are political science professors at the College of Charleston.

A bag of what was suspected to be crack cocaine was found on the floor of a downtown emergency room. According to the complainant, the bag fell out of a patient’s pocket while they were lying on a stretcher. The man made comments to suggest that he sells narcotics, but doesn’t do them. Unfortunately, selling the stuff is a crime, while doing it is not.

The “bejesus” was scared out of a Johns Island woman when she discovered a “boulder” in her backyard. Officers advised that the rock was approximately 12 inches long and six inches wide. Johns Island is coming for your throne of bizarre police complaints, Daniel Island.

During a field sobriety test, officers advised a man to count down from 36 to 24.

The man ended up counting backwards all the way to zero. Overachiever.

At a downtown museum, a man was seen facing the outside wall, near a puddle of suspected urine. We know what you’re thinking: It could have rained that morning and officers are just mistaking the puddle of pee for rainwater. Wait … the report goes on to say, “There was no rainfall last night nor this morning.” Well, there goes that defense.

A West Ashley man answered his door to find two men, one with a gun.

They told him that they wanted to “buy something from him.” The victim wasn’t sure what it was, but told officers that it could have been one of his four prescription drugs.

But on TV, the only way to become a drug dealer is getting cancer and cooking meth in the desert with a former student.

Last Wednesday, a downtown gas station employee told police they had been having trouble with a trespasser all day.

The culprit? A woman in her 60s wearing a red shirt and khaki pants — which were soiled.

A man dressed in what police described as bright African clothing and gold jewelry was placed on trespass notice after being “inappropriate” with women while driving a black Dodge Charger.

Some guys are just too cool.

After getting a call from a downtown business owner, police found a man drunk and passed out beneath two “No Trespassing” signs. Responding officers noted that the man had also urinated on himself and his genitals were still exposed. What is it with people soiling themselves this week?

After officers stopped a man they had observed drinking something from a brown paper bag, the man told officers that they must have been mistaken and “there was no beverage.”

When an officer approached a vehicle to speak to its driver, the driver rolled the front window down, letting out a billowing cloud of smoke.

When asked what he was doing, the driver said, “Just sitting and smoking weed, trying to clear his mind.”

Jaime Harrison gives South Carolina a chance to be relevant in November

W

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.29.2020

ith a month to go before the state’s Democratic presidential primary, candidates and cable news producers would normally be planning their final blitzes through the Palmetto State, orchestrating photo ops with fellow politicians and relatable working folk before politely disappearing until the next contested presidential primary. But in 2020, one candidate challenging U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham statewide could change that.

Could Jaime Harrison — an Orangeburg-raised, Yaleeducated former lobbyist — help make South Carolina a factor come November?

As much as party leaders love to hold up our “First in the South” presidential primaries, South Carolina is rarely a player by the time the general election rolls around. For decades, Republicans’ one-party rule in the state has meant that a huge chunk of our elections are not competitive. And blame it on partisan gerrymandering and the electoral college, but the state has been solidly red on the national level since before U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings retired, leaving the state with two Republican senators for the first time in the modern era.

Driven by his own confessed desire to be “relevant” after the passing of former U.S. Sen. John McCain, Graham has set himself up for a serious challenge this year by Harrison.

The campaign strategy almost writes itself as Graham’s support of President Donald Trump becomes even more inscrutable. Harrison, while unproven on the ballot, may very well have the political chops to defeat Graham on his own, but both of their fates are tied to Trump.

12

By simply having a strong statewide candidate to choose from in November, Democrats down the ballot stand to benefit. In Charleston, for example, where U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham is also running for reelection, Democratic voters will have at least two consequential votes to cast even assuming that the state’s electoral college votes will go to Trump. Same goes for the 2nd District where Congressman Joe Wilson has a solid challenger in Adair Ford Boroughs. And in Clyburn’s 6th District, which includes Harrison’s hometown, increased turnout could prove to be a counterweight to reliably Republican corners of the state.

Harrison faces long odds, for sure. But he has already proven to be a capable fundraiser, pulling in a reported $7.5 million total so far, a remarkable sum dwarfed by Graham’s own $10.5 million warchest, according to reports. But in the eyes of national donors, success begets success, and if Harrison can be an effective messenger and national polling shows that the party has a chance to defeat Trump and his most-shameless ally, you can bet that the money will be there.

In 2014, Graham beat state Sen. Brad Hutto with 54 percent of the vote. Hutto never really stood much of a chance, but was able to mount a serious challenge nonetheless. Perhaps most importantly, 2020 is not 2014.

Trump, Graham, and Harrison will all be on every single ballot in the state. It’s hard to tell whether there’s another 5 percent out there at this point, but it’s safe to say that people will be watching South Carolina in November.

Colour Scheme The Colour of Music Festival puts the spotlight on African-American classical performers and composers

BY VINCENT HARRIS The Colour of Music Festival

Wed. Jan. 29-Sat. Feb. 1 $15-$35 Various venues colourofmusic.org

If it’s possible to be born to do a job, then Lee Pringle was born to create and run The Colour of Music Festival.

Pringle has spent the last seven years building the festival into a stunning and expansive presentation of classical music either composed or performed by African Americans. This year’s edition features a piano recital courtesy of Leonard Hayes, a clarinet quintet led by Robert L. Davis, a vocal recital from Indra Thomas, soprano, and performances by string and brass ensembles. Over four days, the program that Pringle spent more than a year creating will unfold in intimate surroundings — just the kinds that the composers themselves might have envisioned these pieces being played in.

“This year’s program is the first time we’ve created an intimate setting that features a very robust chamber presence,” Pringle says.

“We’ve done the grand masterworks with chorus and orchestra, but we have not yet really showcased the original form of classical music from the baroque period. So by having these intimate concerts at the EdmondstonAlston House Salon or the Murray Center Salon, it gives the audience a chance to

George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess will be streamed live on the big screen on Sat. Feb. 1 as part of The Met: Live in HD series. You can catch it at three area theaters: the Main Library on Calhoun Street, the Terrace, and Regal Azalea Square in Summerville. Check each venue’s website for full details on ticket prices and start times.

James Robinson’s new take on the classic opera transports audiences to Charleston’s Catfish Row, featuring choreography from Tony Award-nominee Camille A. Brown. Eric Owens and Angel Blue star in the title roles of Porgy and Bess.

The live transmission will be hosted

by Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Audra McDonald, who took home a Tony for her 2012 portrayal of Bess. The Charleston-based opera, composed by Gershwin and featuring a libretto by author DuBose Heyward and lyricist Ira Gershwin, was the highlight of Spoleto Festival USA 2016’s season.

That year was not the first time the opera had graced the Holy City’s stages.

At least, it was not the first time the production had made it to the Gaillard, which was freshly revamped in 2016 after a three year renovation, ready for the international arts festival’s sold out event.

As Kinsey Gidick wrote in 2015, Porgy and Bess was first performed at the Gaillard in 1970, the first time the venue had hosted an integrated audience.

Former director of marketing at Spoleto, Jennifer Scott, said: “It was a landmark production for the tricentennial celebrations in Charleston.”

Fast forward to 2016, when the city celebrated the famed opera, selling out every Spoleto performance; offering free outdoor screenings for those who didn’t get tickets to the Gaillard performances; and inspiring art exhibitions at several local galleries and museums.

Charleston has seen shows and exhibitions come and go since that 2016 production. Porgy and Bess, though, an opera that made its Broadway debut in 1935, remains deeply rooted in the city, and you’ve got one rare opportunity to check it out on Feb. 1. —Connelly Hardaway

Voices of Veterans Bandstand accurately portrays the postwar lives of soldiers through song

BY GABI CAPESTANY Bandstand Fri. Jan. 31 7:30 p.m. $30+ Gaillard Center 95 Calhoun St. Downtown gaillardcenter.org

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.29.2020

Broadway is making a stop in Charleston this month and swingin’ audiences back to 1945. For one night only, theater-goers will be able to catch the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Bandstand at the Gaillard Center. Happiness, sorrow, song, and swing round out this touching and historically accurate musical centering around the second World War. Created by Richard Oberacker and Robert Taylor, the story of Bandstand follows soldier Donny Novitski returning home in 1945 and struggling to transition to civilian life after the war. Eventually he finds his calling when NBC announces a radio competition to find the next great band. A songwriter and performer himself, Donny gathers a group of fellow veterans to create a band for the contest. During the competition they find a new purpose in postwar America as they learn how to overcome and deal with the lasting trauma of war.

The concept for the musical came from a central question: “What would veterans who came back from that experience, with all the emotional challenges they would be dealing with, and, if they were musicians, what

would they need to make themselves feel back at home in society again?”

From the start, Oberacker and Taylor teamed up with award-winning Hamilton choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler to create the show. “I had been looking for a piece to do about World War II,” Blankenbuehler says. “I’m really passionate about the 1940s and passionate about that generation of Americans, and all the sacrifices made because of war.”

Topics such as grief, survivor’s guilt, and post-traumatic stress disorder (a term that didn’t even exist at the time) are explored through song and dance. “WWII veterans didn’t understand what it was they were

grappling with, because there was no vocabulary with which to even begin to address it,” Oberacker says.

In order to accurately portray the experience of WWII veterans, the group worked with Got Your 6, (the name is derived from a military term which means “got your back.”) The non-profit organization works with film and television projects to advise them on accurate portrayals of military veterans and aims to help productions avoid common stereotypes associated with service members.

The organization connected Oberacker and Taylor with veterans to look over the script and help them figure out the most

accurate way to share the experience of being a veteran on stage. Bandstand was the first theater production to be “6 Certified” by the organization for its accurate veteran portrayals.

With a score inspired by swing music, the show brings together the dark topic of war and the popular musical genre at the time to create a whole new experience using song and dance as a kind of coping mechanism. “I found the story about art healing the soul the way in,” says Blankenbuehler. “So, for these men and these women, yes, they were dealing with these deep, deep, deep wounds. But the story that I want to tell is, there is a way out. There is a way forward.”

AN EVENING WITH

continued from page 16 ence essentially allows him to execute events like this from start to finish, and he’s done so not just in Charleston, but in Nashville, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh as well.

“I don’t have the multimillion dollar budget of something like Spoleto,” Pringle says, “but I have the background of executing marketing strategies. Most people see how we’re doing things and they think we’re a multimillion dollar outfit, but we’re just using our money wisely.”

Pringle says that he’s learned over seven years that the best way for The Colour of Music Festival to compete with events like Spoleto is not to.

“We initially modeled ourselves after the Spoleto Festival,” Pringle says, “which of course has had more than 40 years to cultivate an enormous international patron base.

But our model has since become a portable model. It’s a very unique model, because we can go wherever someone is willing to write a check. We have a lot of options to explore, and we’re finding that people really enjoy the chamber performances as much as they do the masterworks series.”

Pringle says that he’s come up against many challenges over the festival’s history, both from Mother Nature and from an oversaturated marketplace. The time of year that the festival was held has changed from fall to

mid-winter after inclement weather became an issue, and sometimes getting people’s attention in Charleston has been difficult.

“I would say the biggest surprise for me is that as cosmopolitan as Charleston may be on the outside, there are still very deeply rooted ideas of what represents high classical art,” Pringle says, “and because Spoleto and the Charleston Symphony both have an extensive history, it’s very difficult for other entities to weave out a spot, particularly when it’s something as focused as what we’re doing, giving black classical musicians and composers a platform.”

Part of Pringle’s job is planning ahead; the typical Colour of Music Festival program is in the works long before anyone else hears about it.

“The programs are usually conceived a year in advance,” he says. “What we deployed this week was conceived last year, and 2021 is already in the works. A lot of it has to do with artist availability, finding top quality artists. But this year’s program was built around the concept.”

You can expect to see Pringle at each of the festival’s seven events this year, both making sure everything is running smoothly and enjoying as much of the music as he can.

“I’m still very much hands on in every aspect,” he says. “Typically, I’m able to see every performance because I’m managing the execution. And this year, since we engineered things with more intimacy, I’ll definitely be there for every performance.”

Proving Ground Workshop is the in-between incubator emerging chefs didn’t know they needed

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.29.2020

SUSHI-WA IZAKAYA OWNERS CHRIS SCHOEDLER (LEFT) AND KAZU MURAKAMI ARE THE ONLY ONES IN THE KITCHEN TUES.-SUN.

he glass-enclosed izakaya seats about 40 guests, oftentimes HBO crews and celebrities like Danny McBride. The Japanese word izakaya literally translates to “stay sake shop,” which people do — stay, order sake, usually some usuzukuri, sashimi, or nigiri.

“It’s in between full service and fast casual,” explains chef Kazu Murakami. He and fellow chef and longtime friend Chris Schoedler opened Sushi-Wa in June 2018. When approaching the complex, it’s the first salient signpost that yes, there is food to be found at 1503 King St., tucked behind tech start ups and parking lots. The chefs have experimented with the space — first housing Bad Wolf Coffee, then Effin B Radio — since opening. Order at the counter. Order at the counter plus table service. Table service with a hostess.

But many customers still walk in and lock eyes with Schoedler.

“They’ll get in line and try to order up here. Which is totally understandable — it’s just the workflow of Workshop. We’ve spent a year-anda-half trying to swim against the stream, almost.”

The Workshop model is not new. Public markets, food halls, and upscale food courts have been operating in major cities for a century (Cleveland’s West Side Market opened in 1912). They’ve picked up steam — what’s old is new again — in the past half-decade. In 2017, Slate’s Henry Grabar examined why Americans have fallen in love with the idea of eating moderately priced high-end bites in the company of hundreds, hunched over long tables with plasticware. “That’s part of the charm, too: the no-nonsense emphasis on food.”

Workshop possesses its own kind of utilitarian charm. The half-dozen tenants hawk a variety of fare served on bright red trays and silver platters — right now you can order tacos, burgers, steamed buns, and bagels inside. Find wood-fired dishes, craft ciders, and snow crab rolls just outside. The model is appealing to folks on the move, on a budget, and with a modicum of discernment. For those who think, “I want something fast, but I want to probably take a picture of it, too.”

This spring will mark three years for Workshop. Owner Michael Shemtov says that 2018 was challenging, and the start of 2019 was “rough.” But there’s been incredible growth — a year of transformation, he says. After graduating only one concept, Slice Co., from stall to brick-and mortar in the first year, in the two years since, Workshop has graduated four more: Spanglish, Pink Bellies, Free Reign, and most recently, Little Miss Ha. Things are starting to gel, and the lineup of stalls is as strong as ever.

Shemtov says he went into the project know-

“I like seeing people have a chance,” says Shemtov. “I especially like it when someone who has worked in proper restaurants or has fine dining training has an opportunity to cook food that is a childhood memory, or is from somewhere where they went and got inspired … I get a kick out of it, and I enjoy giving people the platform.”

“If you open a restaurant there is a lot more invested — you’ll be putting your house up for collateral. [At Workshop] you aren’t looking for investors and bank loans.”

—Janice Hudgins One of those people is Janice Hudgins, the woman behind Little Miss Ha Vietnamese concept. After more than a year at Workshop, Hudgins’ first storefront is set to open any day now in Mt. Pleasant. It will be “elevated fast casual,” with customers ordering at the counter and a server bringing out their food.

Hudgins, whose husband — along with Shemtov — owns and operates a string of local Mellow Mushrooms, says she never wanted to open a restaurant. And she certainly never thought she’d open one boasting a counterservice model. But Workshop changed all that.

“It was low cost,” says Hudgins about her decision to transition from private chef and caterer to Workshop tenant. “If you open a restaurant there is a lot more invested — you’ll be putting your house up for collateral.

[At Workshop] you aren’t looking for investors and bank loans.”

Hudgins admits that her success was largely dependent on her perspective: She’d seen firsthand how taxing running a restaurant

can be on a person and on a family. “I’m not saying Workshop is easy,” says Hudgins. “But it’s not that bad because I’ve seen bad — at Workshop you can walk away, you can write a 30-day notice if it’s not working out for you.”

Jacob Hunter, the brains behind ‘90s-themed burger joint Chuck & Patty’s, has experience building brands in cities like D.C. and Chicago, where fast casual means more diversity and more access for anyone who loves to eat out frequently. “When I go out to eat I want to eat, I don’t want there to be a whole to-do.” Hunter says that with the “oversaturation” of restaurants, he didn’t want to invest in a costly, large brick and mortar.

Though now with his proof of concept — Tiffani Theissen herself vetted the stall’s Kelly Kapowski burger — Hunter thinks Chuck & Patty’s would do well in Charleston suburbs like Daniel Island and Johns Island.

Like Verde, Hunter wants to populate the city, and maybe even the Southeast, with locally owned and operated fast-casual eateries that serve high quality eats to people who are hankering for Chipotle-fast but want to support local small businesses. A Big Mac riff you can feel good about.

There are concepts of course, no matter their menu of feel good eats or snazzy Instagram stories, that didn’t work. Google their name — they were set up at Workshop, and then they were gone, poof. They were not privy to the luxury of time-earned wisdom, perhaps. Or maybe their price point wasn’t hitting that “sweet spot” Hudgins looks for — $12 is the max, $15 is where customers are going to start expecting table service.

During that “rough” patch, Shemtov cites in early 2019, Chick-fil-A (heard of it?) had a two-week run in an empty stall. We lambasted the gimmick at the time — why not put up Boxcar Betty’s or Chicken Fats, we queried?

“I mean, it’s very tough to make money,”

Andrew Cebulka

REBEL TAQUERIA HAS BEEN SLINGING TACOS AT WORKSHOP SINCE SEPTEMBER 2018

admits Lewis Kesaris, co-owner of Rebel Taqueria. “As an owner you’re putting a lot of hours on the clock yourself, you really have to watch food costs, labor, waste, and make really good sales on top of that to make a dollar.”

Kesaris, like Hugdins, credits his industry experience for why his stall has been successful — Shemtov says Little Miss Ha and Rebel were often competing for number one and

CUISINE | charlestoncitypaper.com

ing that, “By definition, we will always have people who would not be candidates, who have bigger teams and money to invest in a brick and mortar.” He also designed the food court as a response to the Pacific Box & Crate developers. “They said, ‘We have this parcel, we have BoomTown and tech offices, we need amenities.’” Not wanting to open a branch of The Daily or Butcher & Bee there, “I have enough restaurants,” and knowing that the city’s top chefs wouldn’t deign to take a risk that far up King, he knew he’d need candidates with “one hand tied behind their backs” — enterprising cooks eager for a shot at success.

It was a compromise: Come try and sell your food way up on King Street in an area with no foot traffic, little car traffic, and huge office buildings blocking your facade.

Oh, and the owners are going to take around 30 percent of your sales. In return, you get a space to grow, with top-of-the-line equipment, an in-house dishwasher, free marketing, and the blessed commitment-free lease.

Need to cut and run? You can write a 30-day notice and walk away, something you’d never be able to do if you wanted to shut down a struggling storefront.

What Shemtov says he didn’t anticipate was just how inexperienced some of the stalls would be. “Early cohorts didn’t know how to manage their staffs,” Shemtov says.

“There were a lot of highly emotional issues coming from lack of experience or maturity on the operators’ parts,” as one might expect when money and early-stage businesses are involved. He soon realized he needed to find tenants with one hand tied behind their backs, and one hand deftly — and efficiently — creating and selling tasty food.

His reasoning for pursuing this complex scheme that could go so terribly wrong was simple: altruism, with a hint of selfishness.

continued from page 21 two in sales — and why it’s been around so long, almost a year-and-a-half. Kesaris says while food trucks require a lot of upkeep, running Rebel for three years with just a couple of employees was a breeze compared to figuring out that as an owner, “You’re getting taxed for having employees.”

Still, Workshop has helped Rebel build their brand and their audience. “It’s fun to be around people so energetic about food, to see what works and what doesn’t work.” Many of the tenants note the organic camaraderie of Workshop, how, even as the stalls compete, they’re also ready to share a head of cabbage, a nub of ginger.

“I probably owe Janice a pound of ginger,” laughs Schoedler. It’s almost 3 p.m. (they open at 4) and Murakami is behind the bar, starting the rice. It’s just the two of them in the kitchen, always has been. Sushi-Wa, although very much its own entity, still has to turn over their cut to Workshop, too — the more $14 crudo they sell, the larger that share is. So to keep costs down, they limit labor. Fresh seafood is expensive, after all.

“It’s always chasing behind you,” Schoedler says of the sales they have to turn over. “We never hit that point where you’re like ‘We made rent! We did this now we’re going to start making a profit!’”

But he and Murakami, who met a decade ago working at a Japanese restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, say there would be no Sushi-Wa without Workshop. They’d tossed around the idea of opening their own 20-seater, an upscale izakaya, for years. One potential space fell through and they were tied to their full-time jobs, Murakami serving as executive chef at O-Ku, Schoedler doing sushi events and catering.

One day the two were having an omakase lunch at former stall Slider Gold and started chatting with owner Brian Emperor. “He said he was on his way out, asked if we were interested, gave us a tour of the kitchen,” say Schoedler. They chatted with Shemtov, the restaurateur saw an opportunity to offer a couple of talented chefs a platform — “It’s such a good offering, they’re a perfect fit” — and they were given a choice between the recently vacated adjoining space and the inside stall.

It only took five days for the empty box to become Sushi-Wa. All they brought were their groceries and specialized sushi equipment. “Their business has probably tripled in sales from the first few months,” says Shemtov. But don’t expect the chefs to stay confined. That’s the nature of the food court — it’s only an in-between space, no matter how many Instagram followers you’ve gained in the process. “It’s scary to be comfortable,” says Murakami. “This is only a stepping stone. This is for the next step.”

Mansueta’s Mission

Photos by Ruta Smith

BY PARKER MILNER

Workshop star Nikko Cagalanan is learning on the fly Nikko Cagalanan’s culinary journey began 9,000 miles from Charleston. Growing up in the Philippines, his grandmother Mansueta taught him how to make traditional Filipino dishes like adobo, sisig, and lumpia. Since debuting his stall, lovingly called Mansueta’s, at Workshop in November, Cagalanan has built a menu of tried-and-true Filipino favorites plus dishes like chicken drumsticks and pork ramen. Although Cagalanan didn’t start working in kitchens until 2014, the chef is making up for lost time with the help of members of the Charleston food community.

If you follow Mansueta’s on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that Cagalanan frequently collaborates with other chefs. “I didn’t go to culinary school, so collaborating with others is a way for me to learn about different cuisines.” Facilitating these pop-ups might be exhausting for some, but not Cagalanan, who welcomes the chance to reach out to other members of the food and beverage industry. Recently, he teamed up with Butcher & Bee’s Alison Cates for a Filipino/Korean yakitori-style pop-up, and he has even more planned.

This past Mon. Jan. 27, Cagalanan joined forces with El Pincho Taco’s Sandra Aguirre, whose culinary journey also began in grandma’s kitchen as a child in Mexico City. Cagalanan says he heads straight to El Pincho at least twice a week following his shift, and eventually he and Aguirre began to discuss what a Filipino/Mexican fusion meal would look like. As is often the case, Cagalanan made an effort to turn the casual banter into reality, developing a menu featuring five Filipino tacos.

In less than a month, Mansueta’s will host another collaboration at Workshop featuring Matzo Y Masa, a local Jewish/Mexican popup operated by Samantha Kramer and Jullian Abarca. Later in March, Cagalanan will team up with Emily Hahn, who competed

on Top Chef, for a seafood-forward pop-up.

With each one of these dinners, Cagalanan hopes to learn from his peers and shine the spotlight on Workshop.

And what does the rising chef hope to accomplish during his Workshop residency?

Eventually, Cagalanan says the dream is to open his own restaurant, but for now the main focus is excelling right where he is. Future plans would surely include his dedicated sous chef Joel Carnright, who has played a key role in managing the hustle and bustle at Workshop. “We both came into this without a lot of experience, but we have a shared vision of pushing Filipino food to Charleston,” said Cagalanan. “He’s been an essential part of this since we popped up at Kwei Fei for a week last July.”

Cagalanan has earned the respect of his peers who would say it’s well-deserved given his work ethic — the chef recently took his first day off in two months.

SUPER EATS: HERE’S WHERE TO GRAB GAMEWINNING BITES FOR SUPER BOWL LIV

For those sportsball fans who are only interested in the epic eating that comes with Super Bowl Sunday, no need to drag your borrowed jersey out to a downtown bar.

Order a spread from one of the below and settle in for a night of commercial watching: Hamby Catering is offering a special Halftime Eats menu featuring a plethora of classic game-day snacks like southern fried chicken, slow roasted pulled pork sliders, walking tacos, and seven-layer dip.

Minero has $75 taco catering kits with 20 tacos — all kits come with cotija cheese, chopped onion, salsa verde, cilantro, limes, and a choice of two meats including charcoal grilled chicken, al pastor, and grilled steak. Orders only require 30 minutes notice.

This option brings the Sticky Finger team to your house; they’ll shuck oysters onsite and serve them with habañero hot pepper sauce, cocktail sauce, lemons, and saltine crackers. This menu comes with your choice of any ‘cue.

Check out the grub on Boxcar Betty’s catering menu: choose from a custom sandwich bar, party platters of nuggets or tenders, dessert, drinks, and sides like chips and slaw.

Famulari’s Pizzerias are offering unlimited 14” one-topping pizzas for $10.99 on Super Bowl Sunday for carry out and delivery.

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. The menu changes often, seemingly most influenced by the whims of nature and her bounty, and on my visit, the heirloom tomato salad beckoned.

Simple and straightforward, it does exactly what one would hope — elevate the pure pleasure of a perfectly ripe, late-summer tomato. When approaching the Nashville-style hot chicken, I started in the shallow

end with the quarter bird prepared mild — much like Indian or Thai cuisine, note that even the ‘mild’ has a small touch of heat. 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.

With music, as in life, timing is everything. Nothing could be further from the truth with the formation of Saint Lord by members David Murphy (STS9) and Justin Allmet in Atlanta, Ga. The two were in a circle of musicians, bands and friends for close to 15 years before coming together to create the band and debut album from Saint Lord. All good things come to those who wait.

Combining Allmett’s sweet haunting vocals and alternative rock song writing with Murphy’s instrumental electronic dance sensibilities they’ve put together a band and album that is nostalgic yet modern, mature yet fun and dream like.

Listening to the album it is hard not to feel like you’ve heard it before.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 01.29.2020

Free Will Astrology

30

ARIES (March 21-April 19): My favorite ancient Greek philosopher was the rascal Diogenes. As a joke, he carried around a lantern during the daytime, proclaiming, “I am just looking for an honest man.”

When Alexander the Great, the most powerful man in the world, came to meet Diogenes while he was relaxing outside and asked him if he needed any favors done, he replied, “Yeah, stop blocking my sunlight.” As for Plato, Diogenes complained that the famous philosopher talked too damn much and misinterpreted the teachings of Socrates. I encourage you to borrow some of Diogenes’ attitude in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’ll be healing for you to experiment with being brassy, saucy, and sassy. Emphasize what makes you most unique, independent, and self-expressive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) published his first novel at age 30. During the next 37 years, he completed 48 additional novels and 18 works of nonfiction. Critics liked his work well enough, but were suspicious of his prodigious productivity. When they discovered that one of Trollope’s motivations for writing was to make money, they disapproved. Then they found out that Trollope kept a watch nearby as he worked, determined to generate 250 words every 15 minutes. The critics hated that even worse. Creative artists are supposed to court inspiration, not adhere to a schedule — at least according to the critics.

But I approve of and recommend Trollope-like behavior for you in the coming weeks, Taurus. Cosmic forces will be on your side if you do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In accordance with the astrological indicators, I invite you to rise and soar and glide during the coming weeks. I encourage you to expand and enlarge and amplify. Don’t wait around hoping to be asked to explore and experiment and improvise — just do those things. It’s high time for you to enjoy stirring quests and research projects and missions dedicated to discovery. Be a fun-loving pioneer. Sample the joys of being a maverick and outlier.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I love living in the material world. Its crazy-making demands and exhilarating rewards are endlessly entertaining.

Despite having been born as a fantasy-prone, overly sensitive Cancerian, I’ve become fairly earthy and well-grounded. I have a good job, a nice house, a smart wife, and an interesting daughter. On the other hand, I also love living in the soul’s realm. I have remembered and recorded an average of three dreams per night for many years. Although I don’t take drugs, I cultivate alternate states of consciousness through meditation, prayer, and ritual. I’ve long been a student of depth psychology, which has trained me to be as focused on my soul as my ego.

In accordance with current astrological omens, my fellow Cancerian, I urge you to hang out more than usual in the soul’s realm during the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Can I talk you into being more tender and open-hearted toward the people who care for you? I don’t mean to imply that you are currently too hard and closed. But all of us can benefit from enhancing our receptivity, and the coming weeks will be prime time for you Leos to do just that. I think you’ll find it easier than usual to deepen your listening skills and intensify your sensitivity.

You’ll have an acute intuitive grasp of the fact that you can earn yourself huge blessings by expressing love and compassion in very practical ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): All of us are in service to someone or something — to certain people or ideas or situations. We provide them with help or energy or mirroring or love. We are dutiful in attending to their needs and wants. For some of us, our service feels like a burden. It’s grating or humbling or inconvenient, or all of the above. For others of us, being of service is fulfilling, even joyful. We find a rich sense of purpose in our devotion to a higher cause or deeper calling beyond our selfish concerns.

Among the 12 signs of the zodiac, you Virgos are more likely than most to carry out the latter kind of service. I bring these thoughts to your attention because the coming weeks will be an excellent time

By Rob Brezsny

to re-evaluate, reconfigure, and reinvigorate your own service.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author David Markson imagined what it would be like to write a novel that lacked conflicts or confrontations — in other words, a novel unlike any ever created. Libran author Ursula Le Guin also fantasized about stories with plots that weren’t driven by strife and struggle. Since many of us are addicted to entertainment that depends on discord to be interesting, we might find it hard to believe Markson’s and Le Guin’s dream would ever happen.

But I’m pleased to inform you, Libra, that your life in the coming weeks may be exactly like that: a fascinating adventure with few hassles and wrangles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to Scorpio painter Georgia O’Keeffe, success is irrelevant. The most crucial life-long effort that anyone can be devoted to is “making your unknown known.”

Did she mean making your unknown known to yourself? Or making your unknown known to other people? Or both? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to do both. So I hope you will tease out your best and biggest mysteries from their hiding places. Give them expression.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You Sagittarians have a talent for burning bridges that really do need to be burned. Your intuition often guides you to assess when the time is ripe to withdraw from connections that no longer benefit you.

On the other hand, you sometimes burn bridges prematurely. You decide that they are in such disrepair that they’re of no use to you, even though it might serve your ultimate interests to fix them. I offer these thoughts as a preface for my advice: 1.

Refurbish rather than burn a certain bridge you’re a bit disenchanted with. 2. Build at least one new bridge that will be valuable in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The shape of the planets’ orbits around the sun is elliptical, not circular. Capricorn astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) was the first person to figure this out.

He didn’t like it. He really wanted the orbits to be circular. That would have been more satisfying to his aesthetic and spiritual sensibilities. Explaining the arduous labor he did to arrive at his conclusion, he wrote, “Take pity on me, for I have repeated these calculations seventy times.” In the big picture of our understanding of the universe, of course, his discovery was felicitous. It’s not a problem that the orbits are elliptical, merely the truth. In the coming weeks, Capricorn, I foresee you engaging in a process that’s metaphorically comparable to Kepler’s. Hard work will yield useful, if unexpected results.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Please don’t imitate or repeat yourself in the coming weeks. Refrain from relying on formulas that have worked for you before. Resolve to either ignore or rebel against your past as you dream up fresh gambits and adventures. Treat your whole life like an improvisatory game that has just one purpose: to attract and stir up useful novelty. If you do these things, Aquarius, I can practically guarantee that you will win the game.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Robert Bly believes that each of us has a special genius, and the key to understanding and fully activating that genius is in our core wound. In other words, the part of us that got hurt the worst is potentially the generative source of the best gifts we have to give. Do you know where that is in yourself: the wound that could be the source of your blessing? Now is a great time to investigate this tantalizing mystery.

Homework: Avoid the Tragic Magic Triad: taking things too personally, too literally, and too seriously.

pulse CULTURA FESTIVAL WILL RETURN TO THE ROYAL AMERICAN ON APRIL 25

Hip-hop/R&B-centered Cultura Festival will return to the Royal American for a second year on April 25. Details, including performing artists, are scarce right now, but will be revealed in the coming weeks.

The 2020 festival was announced on social media on Jan. 19.

Longtime Charleston rapper Matt Monday conceived and curated Cultura in 2019 as a festival that celebrates young black culture. At the inaugural performance last April, some of the Holy City’s biggest rap and R&B artists appeared: Monday, Benny Starr, Shaniqua McCants, Abstract that Rapper, Jah Jr., Contour, Niecy Blues, Anfernee, and more.

Not much else is known about Cultura 2020 at this point. But, as always, Monday knows how to build hype. When asked for comment, he kept it succinct. “Prepare yourselves.” —Heath Ellison

A Little Mo’ Love G. Love’s got The Juice, thanks to an assist from Keb’ Mo’

BY VINCENT HARRIS G. Love & Special Sauce Sat. Feb. 1 8:30 p.m. $25-$99 Music Farm 32 Ann St. (843)577-6969 musicfarm.com

Garrett Dutton, better known as G. Love, has been making albums for 28 years. The singer, guitarist, and harmonica player most often records with his band, Special Sauce, comprised of bassist Jim Prescott and drummer Jeffrey Clemens. But he’s done solo albums and collaborated with the likes of the Avett Brothers and Jack Johnson.

So he knows the drill when it comes to recording and releasing albums, and the cycle of press and touring you have to do to promote them. But he’s been sitting on his 2020 album The Juice for over a year, and in conversation, he has mixed emotions about the album finally being out.

“It’s funny,” he says. “It’s a bittersweet kind of thing because it’s been your little secret you’ve had. It’s just been for you. And then it finally comes out. We hope as musicians that these songs are going to connect with the people, so we do as much promo as we can do, and we do as many interviews as we can.

But ultimately if people like it, they’re going

to keep listening to it. So that’s what we’re hoping for, is that you make a connection.”

It’s not like people haven’t connected with G. Love & Special Sauce’s music before.

Since their self-titled 1994 debut, the band has specialized in a loose, undeniably funky mix of soul and rock that most often gets labeled as “alternative hip-hop.” The band also gets called “laid-back” a lot, but that might be more because of G. Love’s easyrolling vocal delivery than the band’s effortless way with a good groove.

That sound has given them a reliable live audience, beloved singles like “Baby’s Got Sauce” and “Cold Beverage,” and a nearly three-decade career. So, Love isn’t a stranger to putting out music and having people like it. But The Juice is special for him because it was co-written and produced by the Grammy-winning bluesman Keb’ Mo’ and features guest appearances by pedal steel phenom Robert Randolph and guitar maestro Marcus King, among others.

It also took about four years to get done, due to the busy touring schedules of everyone involved.

The album served as a reconnection for G. Love and Keb’ Mo’, who were label-mates back in the early ’90s.

“In 1993, Keb’ and I were signed to the OKeh label under Epic Records,” Love says. “It

was a relaunch of a ‘race records’ label from the ’30s that released music by African-American artists, so it was really kind of an honor for Keb’ and I to be a part of that. From there we went on to our separate careers, but we finally reconnected on tour, and Keb’ offered to make a record for me. So I went down to Nashville and we started writing together.”

It took Mo’ and Love about three more years of intermittent work after that initial meeting to finish writing and then recording the songs.

“There were a lot of breaks,” Love says.

“And that’s why it was such a long process, but I really think there’s a lot of value in taking your time. For one thing, the cream rises to the top; you can see and feel when you have something strong when you’re given the benefit of time. When you record something, you always think it’s great, right? Most artists are like this because we love what we do. So you think when you first make a song that it’s the greatest thing ever, but after time goes by you might find things that could have been better.”

The songs on the album certainly don’t seem overly labored over, but there’s a tightness and precision to the tunes that suggests the long-term recording process worked. G. Love unleashes a tongue-twisting sungcontinued on page 35

RANKY TANKY’S GOOD TIME CONTINUES WITH GRAMMY WIN FOR BEST REGIONAL ROOTS ALBUM

Ranky Tanky just keeps one-upping themselves. At the 62nd annual Grammy Awards, the Lowcountry Gullah band took home the Grammy for best Regional Roots Album for their 2019 LP Good Time.

“It’s an honor to be here to stand on the shoulders of our Gullah ancestry and bring this music and message to the world,” Charlton Singleton said in the band’s acceptance speech.

This was Ranky Tanky’s first nomination for a Grammy and the win comes just two years after the band’s 2017 album, Ranky Tanky, peaked on the Billboard Jazz Charts at No. 1.

Ranky Tanky’s momentum has been hard to stop since the band formed in 2016. They grabbed local attention almost immediately thanks to their funky interpretation of traditional Gullah songs. Plus, the band was made up of Lowcountry music heroes: Singleton on trumpet, Quentin and Calvin Baxter on drums, Quiana Parler on vocals, Kevin Hamilton on bass, and Clay Ross on guitar.

After releasing their 2017 self-titled album, the band’s touring schedule and some high-profile performances took Gullah music far beyond the South Carolina borders. Good Time in 2019 gave the band more material to run with and a Grammy nomination soon after the album’s release.

The band’s success led Mayor John Tecklenburg to commemorate Dec. 17 as Ranky Tanky Day in the city of Charleston.

We’re not really sure how Ranky Tanky will go beyond this most recent success marker, but the Grammy win continues to add hype to the band’s upcoming hometown show in March at the Gaillard Center. —HE

Jess Klein calls Hillsborough, N.C. home now, but prior to her move in 2016, she had the unique opportunity to immerse herself in the creative community of Austin, Texas for eight years, where she was able to hone her songwriting and performance skills in a big way.

Still, as influential and inspirational as her time in the Lone Star State may have been, Klein’s initial musical awakening happened much earlier, and much further North.

“I grew up in Rochester, New York, listening to Motown records, primarily,” Klein recalls. “That did something special for me.”

“The Motown work ethic showed me that you didn’t have to do it all by yourself when it comes to making a great product,” she says. “You know, they always had the best songwriters, the best horn players, the best of whatever was needed to round out the recordings. It was a team effort every time.

And the sound they achieved in the end made things like falling in love or having a broken heart seem like they really mattered.”

Yet, as highly as she regarded that sort of teamwork, Klein has mostly opted to go it alone since first discovering what she wanted to

do with her life. “I was actually working on my thesis in Jamaica, documenting dub poets and studying the musical landscape of that country, when I realized that I was really interested in taking my love for creative writing and applying it to songcraft. Prior to seeing how ingrained it is in the culture there, I used to think that you had to be really famous or something to be able to pursue music as a career.”

Klein explains that after it dawned on her that “you only needed a guitar to get started as a folk singer,” that seemed like a good area of focus for her work. It wasn’t too long after she started down this path that Klein won a prestigious songwriting contest at the annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival, also garnering the attention of record company representatives from all over the country in the process.

She subsequently began recording richly flavored Americana albums for indie label Rykodisc, which in turn landed her enough recognition to be included on tours throughout the U.S., U.K., Europe, and Japan, both on her own and with such esteemed artists as Arlo Guthrie, Erin McKeown, John Fullbright, and Carlene Carter.

Interestingly, Klein says she has learned one very important thing about her own creativity over these last two decades: Always be willing and able to receive something good when it comes along. “I try to stay warmed up all the time, and ready to write whenever an idea hits me.” In recent years, however, it continued on page 35

Words

rapped verse on the title track that lands hard over a sparse soul-gospel groove, dives into straight-up funk on “Go Crazy,” which features a vocal assist from Keb’ Mo’, lays down a playful acoustic pseudo-country love song with “She’s the Rock,” and lest we think he’s abandoned his core sound, wraps things up with the loose-limbed “Drinkin’ Wine,” which sounds like it could have been on his first album way back in ’94.

It’s probably his most exploratory and assured album, and Keb’ Mo’s steady hand behind the board was a big part of that. Love says that as a producer, Mo’ asked for his absolute best performance every time out.

“Keb’ Mo’ is a really meticulous, thoughtful guy,” he says. “His philosophy of making records is to just really put everything you have into the record. Every song, every word, every note, and every melody played or sung has to be carefully thought out and performed perfectly. So there was a lot of work, but it really paid off.”

Now that the album is out, Love says he’s excited to tour behind it, and it helps that, during the lengthy recording process, he was able to play the songs on The Juice live pretty extensively.

“I know that these songs connect with people because I’ve been playing them live for the last three or four years,” he says. “People loved these tunes even before they knew them, so I’m excited to get them out there.”

seems as though Klein’s warmth in this area has brilliantly burst into a full-on fire.

Emboldened by her time in Austin, the cross-country move that followed, and invigorated by her new marriage to fellow songwriter Mike June, Klein’s latest effort, an LP for Blue Rose Records called Back to My Green, showcases her expanded tastes and ever-evolving talents. The material on the album dances around multiple musical genres and forcefully grabs the listener with lyrical themes that touch on every imaginable aspect of the human experience.

This sort of content makes the most sense now to Klein. It’s the standard by which she measures success at this point, she says.

Fortunately, Klein should have plenty of opportunities for interacting with her target audience when she plays the Awendaw Green Barn Jam this week. And she definitely aims to please with her live performances.

“My current show is very intimate and completely solo, and it will feature a lot of my songs both new and old, and maybe a few covers, if that feels right on any given night. I will also be doing a spoken word piece about the desecration of the Jewish cemetery where some of my relatives are buried. In times like these, that one really seems to resonate with people everywhere.”

INDIE FOLK-POP | Vanwho

w/ Dyrty Byrds Fri. Jan. 31 9 p.m. $13/adv, $15/dos Pour House

You don’t necessarily need to speak the language of music to feel its enchanting effects. And in the case of Vanwho, a Canada-based indie band, you don’t have to speak French to appreciate their music. Vanessa Boivin-Drolet started as a solo artist, creating breathtaking music both in English and French. “It all started in 2009 when someone saw me play my classical guitar in a video store I used to work at,” explains Boivin-Drolet.

“He asked me to play a song and then told me to go and record it with him in his home studio.” From there, her project Vanwho was born. Now accompanied by David Fortin Théberge on drums, Émile Tempère on bass, and Jay Leblanc on guitar, Vanwho’s enticing sound and unique story has spread across borders. “We just bought a 1987 Winnebago Lesharo which will be our home for the next four months,” says Boivin-Drolet. “We are calling it the Snowbirds Tour as we are headed south and staying in the warm as we make our way to the West Coast.” Expanding popularity is just one example of how the band’s hard work is paying off. While many of us have already given up on our New Year’s resolutions only a month in, Vanwho has already released a new single and their first EP, Four, in English. But, words take the back burner in the creation of Vanwho’s music. “Life is incredible, magical, and so beautiful and it is much easier to appreciate it when we take away the words and are able to just be present with it all,” says Boivin-Drolet. Music is a luxury some will never get used to. It is powerful, emotional, and liberating all on its own — no words needed. —Abrie Richison TUESDAY

SOUTHERN ALT-ROCK | Bloodkin Interestingly, Southern rock stylist and Bloodkin co-founder Daniel Hutchens credits the Beatles for putting him firmly on a musical path at a young age. “When I was five, my older sisters got me a copy of Sgt. Pepper’s,” he says. “The lyrics were printed on the back cover, and I’d just learned to read, and that made a huge impression on me. Reading along with the lyrics while the record played … I think that shaped my life.” Hutchens’ longtime friendship with the members of Widespread Panic also shaped his approach to music-making in a big way. “At first, Bloodkin was basically a punk band. Fast and loud and all about tightly structured songs. Panic was about chemistry and improv, and the songs stretched out. I think we rubbed off on each other: Panic started pursuing the songwriting and we started letting the songs breathe onstage and got into some trance, groove stuff. We were just friends with a mutual and sincere love of music, and that continues to this day.” According to Hutchens, his band’s current live show is better than ever, for a variety of reasons. “It’s a bigger setlist than we’ve ever had featuring the new record and songs from all the old records, unreleased stuff, and a few covers that mean a lot to us.” Hutchens admits that his personal appreciation for life, music, and art has only intensified following a harrowing stroke a few years back, making each show a special occasion to him. “I think I’m more appreciative than ever,” he says. “I think I’m less distracted by nonsense and more focused on the essentials: my kids, my songs, my friends, the band, and our fans. That’s what’s real.” —Kevin Wilson FRIDAY

BIG GAME Provided

Thurs. Jan. 30 8 p.m. $25-$50 Woolfe Street Playhouse

SOUTHERN SOUL | Patrick Davis and his Midnight Choir Nashville-based and Camden-raised singer-songwriter Patrick Davis is back in Charleston, this time bringing his 11-piece Midnight Choir with him. Davis is perhaps best known for his writing credits on songs by artists like Lady Antebellum, Guy Clark, Darius Rucker, and Jimmy Buffett among numerous others. Outside of his time as a go-to writer in Nashville, Davis has built up a solid following in the southeast over the last few years with his own Southern soul and roots-rock inspired songs. Davis comes into this performance after the release of two new singles in 2019 titled “Six String Dreams” and “L-O-V-E,” as well as an EP in August 2019 titled The Gamecock that pays tribute to his alma mater. The “Midnight Choir” that accompanies Davis is something of an intentional misnomer. It isn’t actually a choir, but rather his backing band that provides a soulful wall of sound behind Davis’ onstage showmanship. The name is derived from Leonard Cohen’s song “Bird on a Wire.” While it’s a little misleading, it was just too good of a name and reference for Davis to pass up. Davis fancies himself a storyteller and showman and his performances always promise those elements in full.

Not to mention, an older venue that maintains a balance of history and modernity, like Woolfe Street Playhouse, is about as fitting of a venue as you could have for a concert that promises to blend the past and present of Southern music. —Alex Peeples THURSDAY

ALTERNATIVE | Parker Gispert For about 18 years, singer/guitarist Parker Gispert didn’t have to worry about coming up with stage patter. His band, the Whigs, played loud, but melodic, garage rock onstage and on their albums, and the music essentially spoke for itself. “It was a Ramones-style presentation where you just play the songs back to back to back,” Gispert says. “So you didn’t really have to say anything to the crowd.”

Now as a solo acoustic performer, Gispert has had to step up his between-songs chatter. “You’ve got to have a totally different level of engagement with the crowd,” he says. “So I try to make it more of a conversation with them and keep it casual and just make it fun for everybody. It’s a totally different skill, which was really exciting to me. It was a great challenge to sort of say, ‘Hey, let’s see what you can do when you don’t have the band with you.’ I’ve been doing the band almost 20 years, so any time you find a new challenge for yourself, it’s just invigorating and exciting.” It also helps that Gispert has a good mix of material to choose from, pulling from both the Whigs catalog and the gorgeous, elegant indie-folk of his debut solo album, 2018’s Sunlight Tonight. “I think last time I toured, I kind of had to play unreleased songs, just because that was the situation that I found myself in,” he says. “Now I’m throwing in a couple of new songs that haven’t been released yet, but I’m trying to stick to Whigs songs and the Sunlight Tonight album so that I’m not playing a ton of material that people aren’t familiar with.” —Vincent Harris THURSDAY
