Greenville’s newest park, once a place of division, will be a place of unity Words by Cindy Landrum | Renderings provided by MKSK
T
he land where Greenville will build its newest signature park was once a place of division. Now, it will be a place to unite. The new multimillion-dollar park west of downtown will be called Unity Park, a name that pays homage to the past when the area was home to two parks, one for blacks and the other for whites, and emphasizes the land is now a place for everyone. “The name says inclusiveness,” said Mary Duckett, a longtime resident of the Southernside neighborhood and president of its neighborhood association, Southernside Neighborhoods in Action. “We were separate then, but we’ve united it now.” The park is also the final piece in the city’s reclamation of the Reedy River, which has played a critical role in the resurrection of Greenville’s downtown. At one time, the river’s most visible section — the part that runs through Falls Park and behind the Peace Center — was virtually forgotten. The river was treated like the city’s sewer and changed colors based on the dye the textile plants were using that day. Now, improving the river’s health is one of the city’s top priorities in Unity Park, which Greenville officials say could be as transformative to that area as Falls Park was to the West End. “That will be one of the most dramatic aspects of the park,” Mayor Knox White said. That, along with features such as a tower, pedestrian bridge, destination playground, and sprayground water feature, will turn an area that has historically been treated as Greenville’s backyard into its front door, White said. “Unity Park will turn this part of Greenville into a gateway instead of a throwaway section,” he said. “It is Greenville’s next big thing.”
PART OF HISTORY The site of Unity Park, which straddles some of Greenville’s traditional African-American neighborhoods and downtown, wasn’t always a place the city wanted to show off.
After Greenville voters approved a $110,000 bond for park improvements in the 1920s, then-Park and Tree Commission head James McPherson urged the city to purchase 15 acres of marshy meadowland prone to flooding west of Hudson Street from Edwin Mayberry to create a park for “negro children.” “I grew up in a time when that was the only park we could go into,” Duckett said. In 1938, the City Council decided to give almost half of Mayberry Park’s land to Joseph Cambria in exchange for Cambria building a baseball park with bleachers and lights to be home for a minor league baseball stadium. When black residents protested, the mayor told them the city wasn’t taking anything away from them; they were giving them a baseball stadium. A black minister then pointed out that it was a stadium in which they could not sit in the stands. Duckett remembers Mamie Norris working the ticket window at the baseball stadium during minor league games. If a child retrieved a home-run ball that was hit out of the park, Norris would let them into the stadium. During the seventh-inning stretch of each game, they’d open the gates and let people in, she said. “That gave us a sense of self-worth,” she said. Nearby the stadium, at the intersection of Mayberry and Hudson streets, was a women’s stockade. Neighborhood children found it funny when the women housed there would hang their long johns out on Mondays, Duckett said. Later, the area became home to the city’s public works department, a department that was composed of mostly African-American workers. While Meadowbrook Park is gone, Mayberry Park still exists — and it will be incorporated into Unity Park. “One thing we said as a people, call the new park whatever you want, but do not destroy the identity of Mayberry Park, because it is an icon for us,” Duckett said. “Even though some of the history may not be the best of memories, it is still history.” Gone, too, is the public works department, which was relocated to make way for Unity Park.

GROWING GREENVILLE
The Great Lawn Unity Park will have a different feel than Greenville’s other signature parks — Cleveland Park and Falls Park. While Cleveland Park features the Greenville Zoo and Falls Park the Liberty Bridge and Reedy River Falls, Unity Park is much more natural. One of its largest features is the Great Lawn, a 6-acre, relatively flat green space.
05.18.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 5
Destination Playground The playground’s design is driven by the development of natural features and landscape with which children can engage. While there are slides and climbing opportunities, the playground is knitted into the general landscape of the park.

Pedestrian Bridge Whereas the Liberty Bridge in Falls Park is meant to be one of that park’s most stunning features, the pedestrian bridge in Unity Park is purposely understated. The bridge will be in the middle of the park and give access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, which will be located on both sides of the river.
A METAMORPHOSIS The site of the new park has a history that is near and dear to various populations of the city, and people are naturally inclined to protect the part important to them, said the Rev. Stacey Mills, pastor of Mountain View Baptist Church, which overlooks the parkland, and a member of the park’s citizen advisory committee. But when Unity Park was suggested, the group was unified, he said. “What a message it sends to the rest of the country,” Mills said, “that we’re uniting diverse perspectives and cultures, and that’s the key to turning the pages of history and moving forward.” “We’re not denying history. We’re acknowledging what happened, and this is our answer to what happened in the past,” he said. “This is our future. It almost HAS to be named Unity Park for healing to take place and for everyone to have ownership in the park.” Mills said the park speaks to a generation of people who thought about what exercise, recreation, and gathering spaces would look like and that it would be OK to share that space. “I can’t wait for the first jazz concert at the gathering hall and to get a hot dog,” he said.

Wetlands Boardwalks Boardwalks will meander through the park’s wetlands, which will play an important part in protecting and enhancing the Reedy River. Wetlands act as water filters and provide flood control.
“We’re not denying history. We’re acknowledging what happened, and this is our answer to what happened in the past. This is our future. It almost HAS to be named Unity Park for healing to take place and for everyone to have ownership in the park.” – The Rev. Stacey Mills
Gathering hall A city-owned building, with an Ambassador Hotel sign on its side, will be converted into a gathering hall and visitors center. The sign, which can be seen from the Swamp Rabbit Trail, was painted for “Leatherheads,” a movie starring George Clooney and Rene Zellweger that was partially filmed in Greenville.

Observation tower An observation tower, a feature that Mayor Knox White called Greenville’s next tourist attraction, will offer a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Made of wood or steel, the tower will have a winding staircase and an open-air top. The tower will be 120 feet tall, 5 feet shorter than the Liberty Building in downtown and 35 feet taller than the Furman Bell Tower.
TIMETABLE The 60-acre park is a public-private partnership and estimated to cost $40 million, with half coming from the city and half coming from private and corporate fundraising. The first phase of the park is expected to open in 2020, White said. “One of the most important things you can do in a growing community is to provide green space,” White said. “This is our response to growth.” The park’s great lawn will offer 6 acres of relatively flat land, something that is missing from Falls Park because it is too narrow and is full of undulations. The park will have an observation tower, which White said would be Greenville’s next tourist attraction. The 120-foot tower will be illuminated at night. Other features include a gathering hall and visitors center, a destination playground, a public square, a pedestrian bridge, boardwalks, and a veterans memorial. The order in which the various parts will be built has not yet been determined. Hudson Street will become a tree-lined boulevard leading into the park, one of several connections to downtown, White said. Parking will be at the edges of the park, and the city will have a mobility plan so people can get to various parts of the park.
NOT A NEW IDEA Restoration of the Reedy River is a key aspect to the park. The plan is to create a more natural course for the river, which was straightened in the 1930s, by sculpting the bank. By doing so, floodwater will spread out and slow down. Riparian vegetation would serve as a natural filter, improving the quality of the water of the Reedy. “It’s the next step in reclaiming the river,” White said.
“Unity Park will turn this part of Greenville into a gateway instead of a throwaway section. It is Greenville’s next big thing.” Mayor Knox White The idea of focusing on the river and creating parks and green spaces along it is nothing new. In a 1907 master plan created for the Municipal League of Greenville, Boston’s Kelsey & Associates, one of America’s preeminent architectural firms at the time, recommended Greenville restore the river and develop several parks along it. “The Reedy River with its falls and gorge constitutes the most distinctive feature of the topography and landscape of Greenville. It is without doubt the most important single feature to be considered in the development and beatifying of the city,” the report said. “The splendid view of the gorge and falls below is an object of scenic beauty the likes of which few cities can boast.” One of the areas the architects suggested for a park became Cleveland Park. They also suggested a park further upstream on the area where Unity Park will go. “It took us 100 years to implement the plan,” White said. And it’s a park that can be enjoyed by everybody. “There’s something about parks that put everybody on an equal playing field,” Duckett said.

HOW PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS SHAPE TODAY’S URBAN PARKS CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
As the functions of parks grow more complex, public-private partnerships have increased as a funding source. Greenville’s Unity Park is an example of many of the current trends in building urban parks — a greater reliance on public-private partnerships, the conversion of postindustrial sites into green space, the reclamation of rivers and waterfronts, and construction of facilities that accommodate fluctuation in water levels to help water quality and flooding issues. “Parks are no longer simply places for recreation. They’re more complex than they used to be. That’s why public-private partnerships are so important,” said Catherine Nagel, executive director of City Parks Alliance. “Really where public-private partnerships shine is that they bring in more resources and skills.” Mayor Knox White said Unity Park is the city’s first example of a true public-private partnership on a park. The city has earmarked $20 million in hospitality tax revenue for the new park over 10 years and wants private partners to contribute another $20 million, White said. Separate from the city’s fundraising efforts is one led by Community Journals’ chairman and co-founder Doug Greenlaw to raise money for a veterans memorial in the park. Greenlaw is a founder of the Upstate charter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. “Public-private partnerships have become a critical funding tool in the toolbox,” said Kevin O’Hara, vice president of urban and government affairs for the National Recreation and Parks Association. “There are pluses and minuses, but overall, publicprivate partnerships are good for parks.” Chicago’s Millennium Park was a result of a public-private partnership. The original financing plan called for $120 million from parking revenue bonds and $30 million from private resources. By the time the park opened in 2004, plans for the park had changed drastically. A cycle center provides heated bicycle parking, showers, and lockers for commuters. The Cloud Gate Sculpture, nicknamed “The Bean,” was installed. There are outdoor art galleries and a promenade. There’s a garden, a plaza with an ice rink, and the Pritzker Pavilion that hosts the Grant Park
Musical Festival. Underneath the park is a 4,000 space parking garage. In all, the city provided $270 million in funding. Private donors added another $220 million. Last year, the park was the Midwest’s most popular tourist attraction. There’s a wide range of how park publicprivate partnerships are structured, Nagel said. Some focus on a single park. Others take over design and management. “There’s a real range of public-private partnership models to consider,” she said. “The key is to fit the model to your community. Some cities have a strong base of philanthropic organizations. Some don’t.”
“Parks are no longer simply places for recreation. They’re more complex than they used to be. That’s why public-private partnerships are so important. Really where public-private partnerships shine is that they bring in more resources and skills.” Catherine Nagel, executive director of City Parks Alliance
City Park would also mirror the trend in other cities where postindustrial sites are turned into parks and green space. Many times, those sites are on waterfronts and riverfronts, areas that some cities turned their backs on and became nasty places to which people didn’t want to go. In Brooklyn, a waterfront cargo yard was turned into one of New York’s signature parks. The city redirects real estate taxes from residential and commercial developments in the project zone, creating a self-sustaining revenue stream that is far less dependent on concessions and permits for special events than signature parks in other major cities. “Parks are helping to revitalize cities and put them on the map,” Nagel said. “It’s exciting that those projects are not just happening in the largest cities but in medium and small cities as well.”

I have no doubt we can attract fans’ start at 7 p.m. support and put out a great product on the field.” Growing up in Sheffield, England, Squires discovered his love for soccer at an early age and later moved to the United States to play for Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C., where he had a standout career as a striker. After graduation, Squires was asked to return to Lees-McCrae and lead the school’s soccer team as head coach. Over the course of four seasons, Squires accomplished an impressive .578 winning percentage with an overall record of 40-29-7. Squires also previously served as the assistant coach for the North Carolina Olympic Development Program and was the head coach for the 2011 HSA Force ‘98 in Premier UK Soccer. In 2015, Squires was named head coach of the men’s soccer team at Lander University in Greenwood. The Bearcats have since accumulated a 41-11-6 overall record and made three appearances in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament championship and NCAA Division II national tournament. Squires will continue to coach the men’s soccer team at Lander. The collegiate season runs from August to November. The Greenville FC season runs from May to July. The team’s home games will be played at Eugene Stone Soccer Stadium at Furman University. The Greenville Journal recently sat down with Squires to discuss the upcoming season and his passion for soccer. (The following transcription has been edited for clarity and brevity.)
Why do you love soccer? Every game is different and exciting. You go into it and even if you’re a strong favorite, it doesn’t mean you’re going to win. It can literally go either way during that 90 minutes of play. And it’s not an individual sport. You rely on 10 other guys and the spirit you create as a team as your support system. It’s just a beautiful game.
How were you introduced to the game of soccer?
Greenville FC will play its home games at Eugene Stone Soccer Stadium at Furman University.
Why did you decide to join Greenville FC? I think Greenville, first and foremost, is a fantastic city. My wife and I enjoy making the trip from Greenwood to be in town and take advantage of downtown. But this is a new team in a competitive league. It’s a great opportunity for me to continue coaching through the summer because the college season is so short. Sometimes I go into the season with my college guys feeling a little rusty. Now I get to coach 15 to 16 competitive games with good players. And it’s a new challenge to put together a team in such a short space of time and formulate those guys into some sort of cohesive unit. I love the challenge.
You had to build the Greenville FC team from scratch. What was that process like? It was interesting, to say the least. We actually started recruiting just as everyone else was finishing, so we weren’t able to be as selective as we wanted to be. But we feel like we were able to secure a good team by utilizing the local guys and connections we have.
Your team lost its first game to the Georgia Revolution earlier this month. How are you feeling about how your team has performed so far? We’re coming together day by day. I told the guys early on that performance doesn’t matter too much. That will come with time. But we’ve got to start putting some points on the board. We made some errors early on during our first game that put us behind. It was just a tough start for us. But we were able to get a goal before the end of the game, which made the final score a little more respectable. We’ve just got to start the game on a better note, so that we can work our way in and get a better result.
What has community support been like for the team so far?
I was introduced to soccer at an early age through school and friends and started to take it seriously when I was 10 years old. When I was done with my schooling back home, I was trying to figure out how to continue playing at a higher level while getting an education, and the U.S. college system gave me that opportunity.
To sell the amount of tickets we have before even kicking the ball at home has been unbelievable. The merchandise has been flying off the shelves, so people are really buying in. We’re the first summer team in town, and people want to support it. I’m excited to see what it’ll look like once we start playing more games and word starts to spread. It should be a pretty special experience for everyone.
You received your first coaching job at the age of 23 with your alma mater, Lees-McCrae College. What was that transition from player to coach like?
What role does Greenville FC play in the growth of soccer here in the Southeast?
I learned a lot quickly through mistakes and experience. It helped that I knew a lot of the coaches and players. And I feel like I had a good understanding of the game. I just had to learn communication and how to get the best out of players. I’m still working to tune my craft and will continue to do that going forward.
It’s huge in promoting the grass-roots soccer movement and getting kids out at camps in the summer. This club is in a privileged position where people want to support it, so we’re going to throw support behind people who support us. For more information, visit gvlfc.com.

COMMUNITY VOICES Making a positive impact By David Sawyer, president and managing partner, Cliffs Clubs & Bob Stegner, senior vice president, marketing, North America, SYNNEX Corporation
Once again, the 2018 BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation welcomes players, celebrities, and spectators to Greenville and offers an opportunity to show off the place we call home. From our thriving downtown to the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, the tournament introduces visitors to the Upstate while reminding the rest of us that we live in a special place. Most importantly, tournament week represents a chance to make a positive impact in our community through several extraordinary nonprofits. For 2018, this includes helping children with life-debilitating conditions, providing homebound citizens with nutritious meals, and delivering opportunities to students around STEM. SYNNEX is humbled to have played a part in the $12.7 million dollars raised since the tournament’s inception. And The Cliffs is not only thrilled to have the tournament back at The Cliffs Valley but also to have The Cliffs Residents Outreach (CRO) as one of the beneficiaries. Members of The Cliffs’ six South Carolina communities have come together through CRO to help children succeed in Greenville, Pickens, and Oconee counties. CRO volunteers logged 18,000 hours last year and contributed $700,000 to help break the cycle of poverty by supporting students’ success in the classroom. Their efforts helped one Pickens County elementary school rise from the bottom 10 percent in South Carolina school performance to the top 10 percent. In Greenville County, they have provided academic enrichment opportunities for students, programs for at-risk youth, necessities for families in crisis, and tutoring and pantry items for students in poverty. For The Cliffs, the tournament also demonstrates that their communities are about more than golf. Cliffs members and residents come from all walks of life with passions for golf, wellness, cycling, and more, but one interest that unites them above all is their passion for giving back. Likewise, SYNNEX Corporation is about more than IT distribution. Its story is largely about getting involved in the communities its associates call home. And the tournament is just one of the many ways the more than 1,700 SYNNEX associates in Greenville and 125,000 worldwide can give back. Since 2011, SYNNEX has raised more than $8.5 million for Upstate children through its year-long charity initiative, SYNNEX Share the Magic. In addition, SYNNEX’s Community Involvement Committee organizes ways for associates to give back during the year through local food drives, silent auctions, and more. At SYNNEX, giving comes from the top down, and it’s contagious. The Cliffs, SYNNEX, and BMW share similar philosophies when it comes to the community. We know, like many other companies here, that helping others is also good for business. It builds camaraderie by challenging employees to see the bigger picture. It brings companies together despite competitive marketplaces. And it challenges leaders to share their resources and talents. We believe that together, everyone can make a difference. In addition to having a great time at this year’s tournament, we invite you to learn more about its philanthropic impact. Remember, it’s never too late to find a small way you can give back to Greenville or whatever community you call home. David Sawyer is the president and managing partner of the Cliffs Clubs. Bob Stegner is senior vice president, marketing, North America, of SYNNEX Corporation.

Control your anger before it controls you By Mary-Catherine McClain Riner, Ph.D., Ed.S., M.S., www.rinercounseling.com
Anger is a valid emotion signaling that something is wrong — such as feeling like you were being treated unfairly or experiencing goal interference. While anger is not a bad or wrong feeling, too much anger leads to negative consequences at work, within your family, and in personal relationships. It can also impair your physical health. It is important to use anger constructively and to express it in healthier, more adaptive ways. Equally important is achieving a sense of resolution and/ or acceptance.
Ineffective Anger Management — The Don’ts Stuffing and Bottling Emotions Inside: Individuals commonly attempt to hide anger, avoid expressing feelings, and sweep conflict under the rug. The problem with this strategy is that conflict only temporarily goes away, people walk away angry, and over time anger turns into resentment. Becoming Defensive: Reacting to anger too quickly can lead to defensiveness and hostile responses. Similarly, it can impede the development of relationships, result in a loss of opportunities, and prevent you from being able to learn and develop more appropriate forms of communication. It leads to feeling more anxious, sad, fearful, and/or regretful. Using Physical or Verbal Aggression: Research shows that lashing out leads to more negative outcomes. Compliance may be achieved in the short-term due to fear, but lasting change is extremely unlikely. This behavior may also teach violence to observers and does not target the root of the problem.
Effective Anger Management — The Do’s Slow Down: Check in with yourself in the morning, afternoon, and evening to assess your level of anger. For example, create an anger meter with “0” being no anger and “10” representing explosive and out-of-control anger. Self-monitoring can reduce the tendency to operate on autopilot and make you more aware of your true feelings before they get out of hand. If your meter becomes a “4” or “5,” consider how you might resolve this feeling or what you need to do to express and ultimately release it. Draw out an umbrella and visualize the feelings that your anger covers (e.g., rejection, hurt). Imagine holding the umbrella and asking yourself how you can handle the emotion or feeling appropriately without getting rained on. Express and Release It: If and when anger reaches a “6” or “7,” it is important to have a toolbox ready to extinguish your fire. Take control and responsibility of your emotions and don’t blame or attack someone else. Use “I” statements to convey your feelings, choose a time to talk with the person who is upsetting you, and maintain a calm voice while talking. Use deep breathing, count to 10, engage in exercise, write in a journal, visualize your anger leaving your body and floating down a stream, and use positive self-talk (e.g., This too shall pass; I can handle this without losing my temper). Consider using a timer in which you give yourself 20 minutes to be fully angry, and then practice letting the anger roll off your body. Another option is writing a letter but refrain from delivering

Laugh off frustration, stretch away tension, talk anger out, and shed tears of irritation. The goal is not to suppress but rather express anger appropriately. Practice Conflict Resolution: If problems continue to reappear, consider deliberate communication and give yourself permission to be heard. Schedule a time to talk to the individual(s) involved, acknowledge the conflict, model using “I” statements, ask for questions/feedback, confirm and reassess each person’s understanding, consider a compromise, and follow-up after the conversation. Reflect back on what this process was like, what you learned, what was difficult, and what you would change in the future. As the saying goes, “When angry, count to 10 before you speak. If very angry, count to 100.” Anger can lead to serious consequences and have significant repercussions. When anger leaves you feeling out of control or is interfering with your ability to work or complete daily life functions, consider contacting a professional.

Second GCCA studio artist receives prestigious international art grant Danielle Fontaine has been awarded an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant for emerging artists. Fontaine is the second studio artist from the Greenville Center for Creative Arts to receive this prestigious international grant. The first was Naomi Nakazato, an inaugural Brandon Fellow at GCCA and two-time recipient of the grant. The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation is one of the longest-standing grant providers for emerging artists all over the world. It has provided financial assistance to more than 1,800 students and artists across 40 countries. The award is geared to students and artists in the early to developmental stages of their careers who work in a representational style of painting. Fontaine is originally from Quebec and has lived in Greenville for the past 19 years. In her artist statement, Fontaine says her encaustic work “considers the enduring question of what we elect to keep or preserve and the reasons why, and invites reflection on what, or whom, we discard along the way.” Fontaine is also a member of the urban panel of Greenville’s Design Review Board.

Partners in Agriculture to celebrate Greenville-Haiti partnership Greenville-based nonprofit Partners in Agriculture (PIA) is working to end malnutrition and hunger in Haiti’s central plateau through sustainable agriculture and education.

PIA also started The Haiti Project, an outreach program that has connected young Haitian musicians and students to professional musicians in Greenville.
The program was founded by South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts teacher Katy Dev and organist David Turner. The program includes intensive summer music camps along with the donation of hundreds of gently used musical instruments. The Greenville Symphony has donated instruments, and students at Greenville’s Augusta Circle Elementary School donate their used recorders. PIA will be holding an event on June 1 called In Harmony With Haiti to celebrate the partnership between Greenville and Haiti.

SIMPSONVILLE – Jamie Summers Howard, 46, of Simpsonville, SC passed away peacefully Tuesday May 8th after a short yet heroic battle with cancer.

She was preceded in death by her father Jim Summers, and brothers Tim and Jeff Cox. Jamie was born in Chattanooga, TN, March 15th 1972 to Dolly and Jim Summers. She graduated from East Ridge High School in 1989, where she travelled the U.S. as part of dance troupes. She went on to receive a Bachelor’s degree from Florida State University, as a member of Delta Zeta sorority, serving as Rush Chairman. After graduation and an initial stop at the Breakers Resort where she worked in Activities, she met and travelled north to New England with the Halpern family, and became a live-in nanny for their young family outside Boston.

Bright ideas Trending light fixtures go big by Kathleen Nalley Some think of lighting as jewelry for your living space, meant to make a bold statement with colors, shapes, and textures. But we rely upon lighting as so much more: It illuminates the spaces in which we walk, cook, read, and otherwise live. In other words, the right lighting serves two purposes: to help jazz up your décor as well as to

perform necessary tasks. When choosing the appropriate lighting for your most beloved spaces, it’s important to consider both design trends as well as function. While we often frame trends by year, most ebb and flow within a span of seven to 10 years, meaning that making an investment in vougish items typically will serve your home longer than anticipated. If you’re looking to make minor updates to your most-used spaces, switching out lamps,
sconces, pendants, and even chandeliers is one of the easiest (and least costly) ways to make a dramatic impact. Trending right now? Contemporary, mid-century-meetsmodern design. Understated with clean lines and curves and an emphasis on natural materials, this style is often sprinkled throughout rooms where other design styles already reside.

The geometric Cinq pendant makes a wow statement above a kitchen islands or in a powder room. This light incorporates a blend of contrasting clear glass and antique bronze.
Check out these light fixtures from Progress Lighting, a lighting line from Hubbell Inc., which is headquartered in Greenville.
This elliptical frame takes a cue from classic candelabras but looks less dated. The Evoke fixture’s antiqued bronze and champagne finish features six candles lights surrounded by glass shades.
Flaunt minimalist, mixedmaterials style with the Turnbury, costal-inspired pine and metal take on the candelabra.
Featuring a brushed bronze finish, the 12bulb incandescent Ion fuses mid-century modern into an eye-opening statement piece.

Nestled among the Blue Ridge mountains and close to the continental divide sits a 64-acre mountain compound awaiting a new steward. Owned by one family for decades, this property boasts two houses, a 4-stall barn, pond and stream amid 64 rolling acres of undeveloped pasture and woods. The highest elevation knoll offers breathtaking views of the North Carolina mountains. Located half way between Caesars head, SC and Brevard, NC this mountain oasis is the perfect retreat for a discerning, conservation minded family. Both the log cabin and the guest house feature screen porches providing the perfect perch overlooking the tranquil pond ripe
with wildlife. The cabin, built with 200 year old timbers, is an open floor plan and has hardwoods throughout and both homes have stone fire hearths for chilly nights. If you ever decide to venture off the compound the area has plenty to offer. Quaint shops and fabulous restaurants are only 9 miles away in Brevard, and for the avid hiker, DuPont State Forest is an adventurer’s dream. This tranquil retreat is a rare opportunity to experience the unspoiled magnificence of the mountains. Don’t let this true slice of heaven pass you by.

BACKSTAGE A Q&A with production manager Jessica Eckenrod WORDS BY SARA PEARCE PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS
05.18.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 35
COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM Jessica Eckenrod has had a love for theater and the arts since a young age and knew in college that she wanted to pursue it as her full-time career. Eckenrod puts emphasis on learning as she encounters new roles and challenges. She initially started in the arts as a young singer/songwriter then took on acting along with production management. She is in her second season of being production manager for Centre Stage and is currently working on “Red Herring,” which opened May 10. The play is her directorial debut with a mainstage production at Centre Stage.
When did you first become involved in production management and directing, and when did you know this is something you wanted to do long-term? At 15, I began working on stage crews in a small community theater in my hometown of Morristown, Tenn. I was always ready to learn anything and everything, so I kept “graduating” into the next level of crew life and given more responsibilities. College came, and when I wasn’t able to do theater full time with my current major, I just switched. Scenic design, lighting design, script analysis, and character work were a part of my everyday life, and I’d be fine if the remainder of my days were like this. I started writing and directing original works in college, alongside some classics here and there. Whenever I began composing, the game changed once again to musicals all day every day. My focus shifted to directing song cycles and original works. And thus, musical theater won me over completely. Production management didn’t quite fall into my life, but it wasn’t something I’d “considered” heavily. I’d done all of the aspects but never managed them all. I’m heading into my second full season as PM with Centre Stage, and once again, it’s been a journey that has helped me grow, learn, and improve myself as both a performer and a professional in the business of theater.
What has been your most challenging play to direct and why? I have a deep, deep love for musical theater. Classics, modern, abstract — it doesn’t matter. There’s something about the process of creating a musical that fascinates me. That’s why directing “Red Herring” at Centre Stage was such a challenge for me. A nonmusical on a very large scale with over a dozen locations and a script that mirrors a screenplay was incredibly intimidating. An ensemble of six actors took on 18 different roles, and each had character work to undergo, costumes to quickly change into, and about a billion props to carry on and off. There were zero lyrics to hide the quiet moments, no choreography to fill in the breaks. There was just — the stage. Hardest show to date and I can’t wait for the next one.
Which actors/directors/designers inspire you?
“Production management didn’t quite fall into my life, but it wasn’t something I’d ‘considered’ heavily. I’d done all of the aspects but never managed them all.”
What has been your most enjoyable play to direct and why? Eesh! That’s a toss-up. First place is [a] tie between two original works: “Story” and “Letters from the Public.” My first crack at directing a fullscale musical, “Story” was an incredibly lengthy process that taught me a lot about theatrical aspects that I never considered as an actor. As an original musical, it was my first opportunity (and a very rewarding one) to hear things that had been living in my brain for years finally take the stage. I co-produced “Letters from the Public” two years ago in downtown Greenville alongside my wonderful boyfriend, partner, choreographer — the talented Michael Cherry. This was an unforgettable experience due to us working with an ENTIRE “community” to bring it to life. We collected letters from around the Upstate, and some from states away, that touched on personal moments or memories. Anonymous or not, the letters were adapted into their own respective song and performed by local Upstate vocalists and musicians. Many authors of the letters were in attendance, and to see the effect on them, as well as the audience, was MIND-BLOWING.
Actor(s) – Is it appropriate to say Meryl [Streep]? Because… it’s Meryl. Among a LONG list of others. Director — Rachel Chavkin and Christopher Rose (local) Designers – Ming Cho Lee (set design) and Miranda DeBusk (lighting/local)
What do you most enjoy about Greenville’s theater scene? Top two: the talent and the people! When I first moved to South Carolina, I was incredibly impressed with the actor/actress scene. Singers and dancers alike on a Broadway level, and some of them having even been on Broadway! There is a wide range of talent in this ever-growing city, and I feel that theatergoers have truly only seen the tip of the iceberg. Now that I’ve been a part of the production world a bit longer, I have seen the work and creativity it takes to put up these amazing productions the Upstate theater community continues to offer. I have formed friendships with hardworking artists who inspire me to improve myself and who get meaningful work with a fulltime job. Greenville is incredibly lucky to have so many brilliant minds operating in the creative department!
How has Greenville’s theater scene changed since you first became involved? So much growth. When I first moved to Greenville five years ago, I knew of a few staple theaters in the area that had been established for at least 15 years or more. By year two, a new theater was over here. Year three, two more theaters had risen up, each location holding a different niche than the other! With more opportunity to perform came larger pools of PHENOMENAL actors/dancers/singers. I’ve had the opportunity to see more modern works in the area and still have a place to go see my favorite classics!
What is your hope for the future of theater in Greenville? Collaboration.
What’s your favorite play? I have to say it. “The Crucible.” I’ll shout it from the rooftops. “THE CRUCIBLE”. It needs to be done, so I can play John Proctor. Bottom line. I read “The Crucible” initially while a high schooler and have continued to read it for leisure when there’s a moment to spare. The message of how far faith in the unseen can go and what belief in ourselves can accomplish — or not accomplish — resonates all day, every day.
Backstage is a recurring series that appears in the Greenville Journal’s culture section that is designed to bring the theater community and the community at-large closer together through Q&As with local actors, directors, and designers who are instrumental in shaping our performing arts scene.

Dylan Scott’s style of country music reflects multiple influences VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER
vharris@communityjournals.com
In the “About” section of country singer Dylan Scott’s website, after a brief biography, he speaks of the aspirations he has for his 2016 self-titled debut album. "It would be nice to have a No. 1 come out of this," he says. "But I'd love to make some noise and build the fan base level by level, just like we made this album.” Well, there’s nothing like achieving your goal. Last year, a single off of the album, “My Girl,” took it’s mix of rock guitars, country twang, and pop hooks to the top of the Billboard Country Airplay charts, and it was actually the third Top 40 hit Scott had off the album. “It’s crazy, to be honest with you,” Scott says. “It’s what I dreamed about. It’s what I always wanted to do. We’ve had a lot of work to get where we’re at, and it feels rewarding to be able to do it. But it’s still a little crazy to know that we’re able to do this for a living, people are coming out to see us, and they’re singing our songs back to us. It’s fun.” Scott has the music business, and particularly Music City, in his blood. His father was a Nashville guitar ace who toured with old-school country acts like Freddie Fender, which began Scott’s lifelong love affair with classic and contemporary country. “I heard a lot of old-school country music, and I loved guys like Keith Whitley, George Strait, and Tim McGraw,” he says. “That’s what I listened to as a kid.” But country wasn’t the only thing Scott was into, as a quick spin through his album will illustrate. He has a good ear for polished, pop-friendly choruses, and he even slips an occasional rap into his verses. “As I got older, I started listening to a little hip-hop, like Lil Wayne, and a little pop,” he says, “and guys like Maroon 5 and Kings of Leon. Even today, I listen to everything and try to take a little bit from it all and put it into my own music.” And as it happens, Scott thinks that wide-ranging musical curiosity is what’s attracting fans, who have put his album into the top five on the Billboard chart and streamed his songs a stunning 330 million times. “I just think that’s where music is these days,” he says. “My crowd is basically my age demographic, and we kind

of grew up the same way. We’d listen to a country station and then flip it over to a pop station. So, I kind of know my crowd. I know what they like, which is the same thing I like.” Scott split the songs on his album between tunes he wrote himself and songs by outside writers, but he says his goal is the same for both. “Whether I’m writing a song or looking at someone else’s, the main question is, ‘Can I see myself performing this song onstage?’” he says. “That’s the biggest thing; can I see people relating to it as I sing it? That’s what I look for the most. It’s about a good song and how it translates to people.” In fact, Scott, who will perform at the Blind Horse Saloon in Greenville on Friday, had so many good songs stocked up for his debut album that he had to leave some off, including a sweeping, emotional ballad called “Sleep-
ing Beauty.” Luckily, he was able to revisit the album last year and issue a 16-track deluxe version. “That was really cool because there were songs that didn’t make it onto the album, songs like ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Can’t Take Her Anywhere,’” he says. “They didn’t quite fit, so when we got the chance to do a deluxe version, it was perfect. It worked because I got the music out there that I wanted to put out there, and the fans loved it.”

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE SCCT’s 2018-19 season lineup appeals to a broad audience, from toddlers to retirees EMILY PIETRAS | MANAGING EDITOR
epietras@communityjournals.com
When it’s time to put together a new season lineup, each year the South Carolina Children’s Theatre faces a familiar challenge: selecting an array of shows that appeal to a broad demographic. With audiences that range from toddlers to retirees, to everyone else in between, SCCT hopes each season to offer shows that are accessible and enjoyable for all, says Artistic/Education Director Betsy Bisson. The 2018-2019 Mainstage season’s offerings include old favorites and new delights, from a heartwarming tale about friendship between a frog and a toad to a laugh-out-loud musical based on a popular animated film.
bill,” Bisson says. “It’s Oscar-winning and Tony Award-winning, so it has that cred behind it. The characters are entertaining, and it runs the broad spectrum of the audience. Little kids will enjoy it, and so will adults because there’s jokes for them as well.” Manny Houston, a former SCCT student and recent College of Charleston graduate, will be playing the talkative, happy-go-lucky Donkey. “We’re excited to have him back with us,” Bisson says.
“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” Dec. 1-9 | Last produced in 2014 What it’s about: The six Herdman children — Imogen, Claude, Ralph, Leroy, Ollie, and Gladys — are not well behaved. In fact, some may call them “the worst kids in the history of the world.” The kids’ offenses range from cursing, smoking, and bullying to setting an abandoned toolshed on fire. When the kids decide to attend Sunday school one week (only because
“Mr. Popper’s Penguins” Jan. 26-Feb. 3, 2019 | New to SCCT What it’s about: Mr. Popper, a poor house painter living in Minnesota, enjoys daydreaming of faraway places and reading about famous explorers. Mr. Popper had previously sent fan mail to an admiral, who is now exploring the polar regions. As a thank you, the admiral sends Mr. Popper a present — an adult male penguin. The penguin lives in Mr. Popper’s icebox, but when he becomes unhappy, Mr. Popper asks the local aquarium for guidance. The aquarium sends over a female penguin, and soon the pair has several babies. Now living in a house full of penguins, Mr. Popper decides to make the best of a hectic situation and train them to form a traveling circus act. Why it was chosen: “It’s based on the book, not the Jim Carrey movie,” Bisson says. “The 1930 version of the book is quite charming. … Dancing penguins is hard to beat, so it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
“Elephant & Piggie’s We Are In a Play” June 15-22, 2019 | New to SCCT What it’s about: “Elephant & Piggie’s We Are In a Play” is based on the popular “Elephant and Piggie” early reader series by Mo Willems. The comic-book-style books follow Gerald, an elephant, and Piggie, a pig, and the lessons they learn about being good friends to each other and others. The musical adaptation of this series follows Gerald and Piggie on an exciting day as they use their imagination and get ready to attend a party hosted by the funloving singing squirrel trio, the Squirrelles. Why it was chosen: “People that don’t have children may not be familiar with Mo Willems, rock star of the Pre-K crowd,” Bisson says. “He has a series of ‘Elephant and Piggie’ books, so this is a compilation of them. And we have The Squirrelles — like The Shirelles — singing narrative behind.”
2nd Stage Shows
“Shrek The Musical” Sept. 8-23 | New to SCCT What it’s about: Based on the hit 2001 animated movie “Shrek,” this musical follows an alienated ogre, Shrek, who must reluctantly travel to the Kingdom of Duloc when a group of fairytale creatures descends on his isolated swamp property after being banished from the kingdom by the wicked Lord Farquaad. Along the way, Shrek is accompanied by a gregarious donkey named Donkey. Upon his arrival, Lord Farquuad tells Shrek that he can have his swampland back — if he rescues Princess Fiona, who is trapped in a castle guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, for him. Why it was chosen: “It’s a fun show. We haven’t done it before, and we like to pick something big-ish for our season opener, and this one seems to fit that

they hear about the free snacks), they become participants in the church’s annual Christmas pageant, taking the roles of Mary, Joseph, the three Wise Men, and the Angel of the Lord. The children, who have never before heard the birth story of Jesus, soon add their own interpretations and spin to the pageant, resulting in chaos and hilarity. Why it was chosen: “This is my seventh or eighth time directing it, and I’m super excited about it,” Bisson says. “It’s a great redemption story. The Herdmans tug at my heart.”
March 30-April 7, 2019 | Last produced in 2006 What it’s about: Based on the classic “Frog and Toad” illustrated children’s series, this musical adaptation chronicles the friendship of the happy and relaxed Frog and his more serious counterpart, Toad, and the fun adventures they have with each other and their fellow woodland creatures over the course of a year. Why it was chosen: “It’s been nominated for Tony awards. This is a reduced version of it, so it’s about an hour-long show. It has a sort of jazzy score. … It’s very popular with the kids,” Bisson says. “Matt Giles from Seattle Rep is going to direct that show, so it should be a big romp, a lot of fun.”
This year, SCCT is partnering with the Kroc Center, which will host three of the four 2nd Stage productions. “2nd Stage is a great way to test a child that hasn’t been to theater,” Bisson says. For example, “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” encourages audience movement and participation, which is helpful for young children. “It’s a great way to introduce kids to theater,” Bisson says. “The Teddy Bears’ Picnic: A Play With Me Play” Aug. 25-Nov. 20 At 1200 Pendleton St. “Click, Black, Boo!

aturner@communityjournals.com
The Greenville Chorale has announced its 58th concert season for 2018-2019, which includes a wide variety of genres and styles to appeal to a broad base of musical tastes. Bingham Vick Jr., the Chorale’s artistic director and conductor, says he selected programming that the Chorale will enjoy performing as much as he hopes the audience will enjoy listening. For him, that means choosing material that is accessible for the entire choir and then narrowing down the hundreds of options for the five concerts throughout the season. “Picking repertoire for the Chorale is on one level very difficult and on the other hand, is very easy,” Vick says. “Chorale Sings Bluegrass and Big Band Music” The fall concert on Oct. 20, 8 p.m., at the Peace Center will feature two diverse selections in collaboration with two instrumental ensembles. First, the Chorale will perform “Come Away to the Skies – a high, lonesome mass,” a bluegrass mass, accompanied by
“Chorale Sings Messiah”

the Chuck Nation Bluegrass Band from Gainesville, Ga. The bluegrass mass is based on old, Southern hymn tunes “Do Lord,” “Brethren We Have Met To Worship,” and “What Wondrous Love Is This.” Vick says that these standard tunes in the hymnody are woven into movements in a remarkable way. The second half of the program will feature three “Sacred Concerts” by Duke Ellington, combining big-band jazz sounds with sacred texts. The Chorale will be joined by the Greenville Jazz Collective Big Band. “If you like bluegrass, you’re going to
The Chorale’s 35th annual family Christmas concert on Dec. 18, 7:30 p.m., at McAlister Auditorium will feature a performance of G.F.Handel’s well-known “Messiah.” The Chorale will be joined by the Chorale Orchestra, area professionals who also perform regularly with the Greenville Symphony Orchestra and the Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra. The Chorale most recently performed “Messiah” in 2008. Members of the Chorale will perform as the soloists. “The Nature of Things” The Herring Chamber Ensemble, composed of 24 professional vocalists who are also members of the Chorale, will perform its 22nd annual winter concert on Feb. 17, 2019, 2 p.m., at Charles E. Daniel Chapel, Furman University, and again on Feb. 24, 2019, 4 p.m., at Church of Our Saviour, Johns Island, S.C. Selections include composers Jake Runestad, Kim André Arnesen, Dan For-
The Chorale’s spring concert on April 12, 2019, 8 p.m., at First Baptist Church, will feature the Chorale singing music composed originally for instrumental ensembles. These include well-known works “Largo” from Dvorak’s “New World Symphony,” “Nimrod” from Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations,” and “Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber. Patricia Hunt Fisher, who outbid many others for the chance to guest conduct the Chorale at their annual fundraiser auction, will lead the Chorale for one number. She is a longtime choral singer and was the choral director at Travelers Rest High School for more than 30 years. The program will also include some “choral humor” by various composers, including Franz Josef Haydn and P.D.Q. Bach, the fictitious “son” of J.S. Bach. Continuing the Greenville Chorale’s tradition of recognizing one of the area’s premier high school choirs, the program will include a set of selections performed by a choir that will be selected over the summer. 15th Annual Lakeside Patriotic Concert Rounding out the season, the Chorale joins the Furman Lakeside Band on June 27, 2019, for the annual free concert in the Furman Amphitheater. The concert, which always opens with “America the Beautiful,” will feature light classics, traditional standards, and Broadway show tunes. “It’s fun for the crowd to let their hair down and relax,” Vick says. Tickets for shows are available through the Peace Center Box Office (300 S. Main St.), by phone (864-4673000), or at the door.

MUSIC NOTES
SPOTLIGHT: APRICOT BLUSH WORDS BY VINCENT HARRIS | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS
Band Name: Apricot Blush Formed: 2016 From: Greenville Members: Jackson Wise (vocals, guitar, multiple other instruments) and a shifting collective that often includes Jonah Terry (bass, banjo), Sydnee Albertson (singing saw), Brandon Gallagher (drums), Dan Fetterolf (violin), and Wesley Heaton and Marissa Splendore (trumpets) What They Sound Like: Emotional but immaculately played folk-pop with near-orchestral arrangements; think The Decemberists or Microphones’ Phil Elvrum Who They Like: Hugger Mugger, Wallpaper
Apricot Blush wasn’t actually a band until after their first self-titled album. Jackson Wise essentially wrote and recorded all 10 songs himself. The follow-up, “Where Blew A Flower, May A Flower No More,” expands the lineup to 10 players, and it’s in every sense a step forward for Wise. The music is more cinematic and dynamic, moving from spare, acoustic-guitar interludes to haunting full-ensemble moments that weave acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies around one another, with Albertson’s haunting, fluttering singing saw hovering over the songs like a ghost. This new, bigger version of Apricot Blush came from the unexpected strong response Wise got to his first collection of songs, which then created a need to play them live. “The response blew out what I expected it to be,” Wise says. “I expected like 10 of my friends to listen to it and say, ‘Good job, buddy.’ But that wasn’t the case, which was great. But I still didn’t feel comfortable playing live; I didn’t know how I could do that. I recorded it largely by myself, so I didn’t know how we could transpose it, but Jonah [Terry] inspired me to start doing that. And now I love it. I love the theatrical aspect that we can provide live.” Both of Wise’s albums as Apricot Blush have revolved around concepts that might seem odd for a 21-year-old to be concerning himself with. The first album was an often-painful attempt by Wise to deal with having been sexually assaulted and how that assault both affected his view of sex and relationships and spurred a descent into substance abuse. The new album blends two themes: The Inuit leg-
end of Sedna, the vengeful goddess of the sea who must be worshipped in exchange for releasing sea animals for hunters to capture, and Wise’s own urge to placate the demons in his life before moving onward. Deep ideas, to be sure, and Wise says that those concepts come from his time in recovery. “I got sober at age 16, and that’s a big part of my life,” he says. “I learned introspection early on because of that process. I started thinking more analytically, and college really pushed the limits of my thinking. I learned about Sedna in a Native American Religion and Culture class, and the more I learned about it, the more interesting it was. I didn’t expect it to resonate, but it was a beautiful story and I really liked it.” Whatever resonance Wise felt with that legend was intertwined with an urge to go further creatively on Apricot Blush’s second album. “I wanted to push myself,” he says. “This one isn’t as precise or intense as the last one; it’s very wideranging. The last album was made to help me cope; this one was to push myself as far as being a writer.” Having recently graduated college, Wise is preparing for grad school and hoping to become a counselor for those in recovery from their own addictions. That means that, after their upcoming album-release show at The Ninjaplex in Greenville on Saturday and a brief East Coast tour, there might not be many more Apricot Blush shows in the near future. “I’m not really sure what the future holds,” he says, “I don’t really have a choice but to write, but the shows might simmer down a little bit. We’ll put a question mark on that one.” Jackson Wise of Apricot Blush

Paccheri with fresh pomodoro
The Pasta Addict wants to bring fresh pasta served in a casual atmosphere to Greenville Sunday suppers with his Italian-American family in New York City were an important tradition for Anthony Pepe. His paternal grandmother, Rosie, would host until she passed away, and for her, the more mouths to feed, the better. “Come over with your friends,” Pepe recalls she would say. “Before you know it, in 20 minutes you have a spread out, like literally the last supper. The sauce, and the meatballs, and the red sauce, pastas.” Pepe took that culinary influence, and, through working with and studying a se-
ries of well-known Italian chefs while he worked as a bartender and beverage director in New York, he’s developed his own style under the name The Pasta Addict that if all goes well will have a brick-andmortar location in the Greenville area within the year. His concept is to serve approachable, quick, fresh pasta in a casual, trendy environment. He’ll make all of his pasta by hand, and all sauces will be made inhouse. “Those Sunday mornings, you smell meat frying in the red sauce. I love that, but I also love that true Italian, real-deal Italian,” he says. Pepe and his wife, Jennifer, and their two young children, Anthony, 7, and Adrienne, 4, moved to Simpsonville in August 2017 from Long Island. Jennifer Pepe’s parents had moved to the area 12 years ago, and when her mother died suddenly a year ago, the Pepes decided to move clos-
er to her father. The timing worked out with Anthony’s job with a restaurant group ending, and he and Jennifer were looking for a change of pace. “We were busting our butts up there,” Jennifer says, explaining that they both took different trains into the city for work and rarely spent time together with their children. After moving, Anthony landed a job bartending at Jianna, and Jennifer does in-home child care, allowing her to stay home. But on Monday nights — Anthony’s night off — when the two would want to go out for dinner and get some good Italian, they discovered most of the local options were closed. He had started perfecting his own classic Italian dishes at home for the last few years, so instead of eating out, he ramped up his in-home cooking, getting the kids involved in rolling out the pasta dough,
and Jennifer started photographing the finished products and posting them on Instagram under the handle @ThePastaAddict. After enough positive feedback and serious discussion, they decided to start looking at bringing the concept to the general public. Sweet Sippin’ in Simpsonville recently hosted The Pasta Addict pop-up, which was the Pepes’ first foray into cooking for a crowd. They’re also tweaking a business plan and looking for a permanent location near downtown Greenville. “There’s a void here for fresh pasta,” he says, adding that a casual and accessible atmosphere are key differences from most Italian restaurants that serve fresh pasta locally. Anthony Pepe’s inspiration to rethink the version of Italian cooking he grew up with came from first tasting the veal ragu served at Bar Italia, which was run by Denis Franceschini, the former executive

small plates FOOD NEWS & EVENTS BY ARIEL TURNER
feast Caterers are da real MVP Events season is in full swing, and that means many catering companies are booked solid every weekend for the next three to four months. Serving 40-200-plus people at a time is no small feat. Imagine the stress of making that much food taste exactly right, at the exact desired temperature, all at the exact same moment. You get the idea. It’s a tough job, and one that doesn’t get the same recognition chefs at higher-profile restaurants often do. For instance, last weekend Uptown Company, who catered the Artisphere VIP tent experience, had to plan for roughly 250 guests, which translated to approximately 8,000 individual dishes for the weekend since 90 percent of the food was plated in individual portions. That’s extreme. So at the next gala or wedding you hit, give some props, or even better, slip some cash to those working behind the scenes. They deserve it.
MAIN STAGE SHOW PRESENTED BY
Crazy for Cocobowlz Food trucks are all the rage right now, and I don’t know anyone who’s mad about it, especially with the variety we have in Greenville. One of the newest, Cocobowlz, serving up healthy food-truck fare, has been hot on social media for the last few weeks, and it’s no wonder since the smoothies and bowls they make are total eye candy. If you haven’t seen a photo of a purple acai bowl or hot pink pitaya bowl with the Liberty Bridge and falls as the backdrop, then you must be one of the few people who’s managed to limit your social media intake. Acai and pitaya (dragon fruit) have become increasingly popular as superfoods, packed with antioxidants and vitamins, and Cocobowlz makes them even tastier topped with granola, coconut milk whip, almond butter, all the seeds you could want, and loads of fresh fruit. They also serve smoothies, fresh-pressed juices, and nitro-brewed coffee. So basically, they got you for breakfast, lunch, and midday snack. Check them out on Instagram to see where they’re parking next.
ICYMI from UBJ The proposed shipping container food hall Gather GVL is getting closer and closer to being fully leased. The developer hopes to break ground in July and be open by late fall. So far, they’re up to eight out of 13 signed tenants, and there isn’t a miss in the mix. The next concepts that are enticing for so many reasons were just announced by the owners of Hendersonville, N.C.’s HenDough. First, an authentic-style Mexican restaurant called Mercado Cantina that will serve on a rotating basis mole as a sauce for enchiladas or chilaquiles, tacos, elotes, house-made chips, guacamole, salsas, seafood, ceviche, and aguachile. If that’s not enough, the full-service bar will have a wide selection of mezcal and tequila. Next up is KO Burger, which will be serving burgers styled after Shake Shack’s thin, crispy, griddled patties. If you’ve never had a Shake Shack burger, just wait. (And FYI, Husk’s burger is very similar, so if waiting isn’t your thing, you can snag one of those for lunch or brunch now in the West End). The third is a Roman-style pizza kitchen named Al Taglio. Get ready for focaccia-style pizza by the slice. And good news for those of us with food allergies or limitations: Each of the concepts will have a selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Also, Murasaki owner Cheng Yap has signed on for a poke bowl concept called Saki Saki, and Rocky Moo from Spartanburg will be keeping it cool with its second location of the new ice cream sandwich concept. corporate chef for the Cipriani Group in New York. “When I first had his ragu, I was mind blown,” he says. “What is this? What am I eating right now? That’s where I always say the addiction started.” Other inspiration came from chefs Scott Conant, seen on the TV show “Chopped,” and Mark Ladner, Mario Batali’s executive chef. What Anthony learned through trial and error at home was the “montecare” method, which Italian cooks use to emulsify the fat in starchy dishes. “Starch in the pasta water is the most important thing. It’s liquid gold,” he says. And to counter a popular misunderstanding about Italian cooking, Anthony says true Italian cooking is simple and fresh, and it doesn’t have to be smothered and overwhelmingly heavy. He uses an Italian cocktail to make his point. “Let’s take the negroni for example. The cocktail. Three ingredients: gin, Campari, sweet vermouth,” he says. COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

Anthony and Jennifer Pepe hope to bring their Italian cooking to a brick-andmortar location in Greenville within the next year.
He compares that to traditional spaghetti pomodoro, which is garlic, basil, tomato, and olive oil. The trick, he says, is allowing the pasta water to reduce and emulsify with the fat to create that addictive creaminess.
“That’s the whole thing. It’s really the technique,” Anthony says. Follow @ThePastaAddict to view their tasty dishes and progress, and for future pop-up information.

Last year, bassist Shannon Hoover from the Greenville Jazz Collective organized a large ensemble to pay tribute to the late soul singer Sharon Jones, who took the country by storm earlier in the decade with her band, The DapKings. A fan for years, Hoover discovered just how tight the group was while he was arranging the charts for his tribute band. “I really loved her music because it had a lot of the same sensibilities as James Brown,” Hoover says. “Her horns followed that pattern of old soul stuff. But as I started putting everything together, I learned about the way they presented her music and how all the parts worked together. It was cool to hear how intricate the background singers, guitar, percussion, drums, and guitar parts could be, even on funk or soul tunes.” As for the musicians Hoover selected, including four vocalists who will each get four-song solo spots, Hoover says it was an easy process. “I knew they were fans, and I love all the things the four vocalists do with their own groups,” he says. “I just picked out tunes they could shine on.” –Vincent Harris FRI

James Taylor & His All-Star Band
Bon Secours Wellness Arena | 650 N. Academy St. | 7:30 p.m. | $75, $111
CONCERT
It’s hard to overestimate the effect that James Taylor’s nakedly vulnerable confessional folk songs had on the music scene of the early 1970s. His delivery and instrumentation were so placid and understated that it was sometimes easy to miss the disturbing tales of drug abuse, mental instability, and self-doubt within immortal songs like “Something in the Way She Moves” and “Fire & Rain.” As Taylor matured (and became healthier), he continued to score multiplatinum hits like “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You),” “Shower the People,” “Her Town, Too,” and “Copperline,” and he’s one of the few artists who’s been able to continually sell albums into the 21st century. In a sense, Taylor’s audience has grown up with him, and they’ve shared the experience of becoming parents and moving through middle age through his personal, often autobiographical songs. There will no doubt be a lot of nostalgic classics in his set at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, along with a sprinkling of songs from his most recent album, “Before This World,” which topped the Billboard charts in 2015. –Vincent Harris THU

It’s hard to believe that it’s been about seven years since Paleface, a sort of anti-folk singer who mixes his tuneful acoustic musings with psychedelic production flourishes and a deliberately lo-fi aesthetic, has put out an album. After all, between 1991 and 2011, he put out 15 releases, and that’s not counting his numerous guest spots and collaborations. And during that seven years, he’s made some changes to his music, though one is more of a formality: His longtime girlfriend and drummer Mo Samalot is officially part of the band now, and he’s experimenting with loops and effects pedals for the first time. “Mo and I have played together for so long that everyone referred to us and ‘PF and Mo,’” he says. “But the looping and pedals have changed our sound quite a bit. All we had before was an acoustic guitar and a drum, but I heard so much more in the music and had so many musical ideas.” –Vincent Harris complimentary small bites spread, a full cash bar, the air-conditioned lounge and Genevieve’s restrooms.

“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”
The Warehouse Theatre | 37 Augusta St. Most Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights and Sunday matinees $40 general admission, $45 reserved, $65 premium seats This irreverent, funny, broad rock and roll musical satire of America’s seventh president, Andrew Jackson, follows him from the campaign trail all the way through the White House. Jackson captures the presidency as a born and bred American with a message that resonates with the common people, as opposed to the ruling class that preceded him. Ascending from his Tennessee upbringing, he finds himself in the Oval Office and discovers that campaigning is easy, but governing is hard. This musical explores how our great democratic experiment works and helps us realize how the more things change, the more they stay the same. www.warehousetheatre.com SAT
