Greenville Tech looks to engage students through campus life n story by ARIEL GILREATH | Photo by WILL CROOKS

A 17-foot blow-up screen for movies and video games on the lawn, a monthly spoken word and open mic night — those are just some of the ways Greenville Technical College is hoping to increase student engagement on its campuses.

The college is beefing up and re-branding its student activities department, which hasn’t had a director for several years, amidst a push to bring up its retention rates.

In the fall of 2016, 57% of transfer students returned to the college from the previous year, but it’s hoping to increase that rate to 59% this year.

Greenville Tech isn’t alone in its struggle to retain students — community colleges have historically lower rates of persistence (students returning each semester) and retention (students returning each school year) than traditional four-year schools. The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reported less than 50% of first-year students returned to their two-year schools in 2016, while four-year public schools had retention rates of higher than 70% for the same year.

Low retention is partly the nature of community colleges — with open admissions and a more transient population of students, twoyear schools are less likely to retain students at the level of most four-year schools.

But Jaquetta Ross is hoping to change the atmosphere on Greenville Tech’s campus to one where students get the full college experience.

“Students need ownership and buy-in to create culture — they need to feel like the campus is theirs and that they have a say in what happens there,” Ross said. “That’s all about creating memories and creating a connection to the campus.”

Ross, who was a professor and academic advisor at Greenville Tech for six years, was named director of campus life this spring. One of her biggest goals is increasing student engagement on campus — a difficult task for a school where

Cascades Verdae is designed with one purpose in mind, to help our residents enjoy their families and friends and remain independent as they age. We do this by providing Greenville with the premier Full Continuum of Care.

students don’t live on campus and often work jobs in between classes.

Ross received her bachelor’s degree from Furman University and remembers what it was like being involved on campus.

“The push is not to be like a four-year college, but to be excellent on our level,” Ross said. “But I do draw some inspiration from my own experiences.”

Since students go home once they’re done with classes, the school has a shorter window of time to grab their attention.

Students need ownership and buy-in to create culture — they need to feel like the campus is theirs and that they have a say in what happens there.”

– Jaquetta Ross, director of campus life

“It definitely takes some creativity,” Ross said. “That’s part of the reason why there’s a lot of push to create programs that are going to catch them before they get to their cars, which is why I want to do everything big because it needs to be eye-catching, it needs to be alluring, it needs to be exciting.”

Ross wants the events to appeal to all students — from video game competitions to forums on politics — and to keep regular momentum throughout the college’s four primary campuses.

“I don’t think you have to force them to engage,” Ross said. “You have to create the opportunity, and if you create the opportunity for what they want to see, they’ll come.”

eat. sip. listen.

Greenville’s euphoria provides foodies the ultimate culinary experience with 39 delectable events, over 100 chefs and beverage experts, and 15 musical performances. From Sept. 19 to 22, euphoria attendees will eat, sip, and listen with fellow culinary connoisseurs

and top chefs from all over. Since beginning in 2006, euphoria continues to welcome newcomers to the city we call home. With a mission of supporting tourism in Greenville, euphoria distributed 8,830 tickets for last year’s event with an economic impact of $3.8 million. In ad-

dition to great food, wine, and music, euphoria spreads joy by giving back to the community.

Proceeds from the festival go towards direct grants for local charities who support children, hunger or health needs, and music or performing arts education.

students to cook with top chefs at euphoria story by Ariel Gilreath | photo Provided

Four Greenville County Schools students will go head-to-head demonstrating their cooking skills at this year’s euphoria festival.

This is the festival’s fifth year hosting the Healthy Lunchtime Throwdown event with Greenville County Schools, where students compete with each other and cook their own recipe with famous Michelin-starred chefs.

Mauldin High School student William Stephenson won last year’s throwdown with his recipe for hoisin-glazed salmon.

Students ages 8 to 18 can apply for the contest by submitting an original, healthy, and affordable recipe on euphoria’s website. The winner of the contest will have his or her recipe featured on Greenville County Schools menus during the school year.

Morgan Allen, executive director of euphoria, said a panel of judges with GCS will select the four finalists based on their submitted recipes — one criterion is the ease with which the recipe can be reproduced by the school district should it win the contest.

“They incorporate it throughout the school year at a variety of different schools, if not all of them, just depending on how economical it is and how popular it is, as well,” Allen said.

Joe Urban, director of food and nutrition services with Greenville County Schools, said the idea for the contest came from a euphoria board member after her daughter participated in the national Healthy Lunchtime Challenge.

“Her daughter was selected as the S.C. representative for Michelle Obama’s Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. One student from every state was selected to attend the Kid’s State House dinner at the White House with the president and former first lady,” Urban said. “The euphoria event was started the following year, using that contest as a template.”

Allen said promoting healthy food at a young age is at the heart of the contest.

“What Greenville County Schools is doing here is top-notch in the nation. The type of food that they serve and the partnerships that they have — it’s really incredible,” Allen said. “To encourage these kids at such a young age and to work alongside some of the most recognized chefs in the world is pretty incredible, that they had this opportunity.”

The students will compete on Sept. 22 — the final day of the four-day festival — at the corner of South Markley and South Main streets at 11 a.m. during the Sunday Brunch: Fired Up event. The deadline to submit a recipe is Sept. 9.

Four years ago, Aaron “Fiery Ron” Siegel brought the heat to Greenville with his smoked barbecue and Southern-style food for euphoria. He loved the city so much that he decided to stick around.

Considering the customer demographic, the Greenville expansion made perfect sense to Siegel.

“The types of folks that like to come to Home Team BBQ are families, young people who like to have a good time, and we’ve always prided ourselves on appealing to almost any demographic,” he says.

Without the exposure to Greenville through euphoria, Siegel may have never thought to bring the low-country restaurant upstate and join the Green-

ville community.

“For us, it’s not just about bringing people into our restaurants and filling seats, obviously that’s a huge thing, but it’s about being part of the fabric of the community,” he says.

Morgan Allen, euphoria executive director, says lots of euphoria guests are first-time visitors of Greenville. “Every year after the festival, we get calls from people who fell in love with the city during their visit, asking questions about potentially opening a restaurant here,” she says.

Like many others, Siegel was once one of those inquiring chefs. “And now here they are, getting ready to open sometime next year,” Allen says.

While not everyone who expresses interest expands here, many chefs recognize the potential in Greenville. “We’re honored to be a part of that and to contribute to the growth of Greenville’s food scene in that way,” Allen says.

After euphoria each year, Taylor Fisher, commercial agent with Spencer/Hines Properties, also has interested parties contacting him about Greenville expansions. He feels that euphoria showcases Greenville, the food clientele, the progressive market, and the people with true appreciation for food.

– Farm-to-table products – Lots of green space – Priority on families – Numerous outdoor offerings – Strong sense of community “It definitely leads to trying to bring more chefforward restaurants and food-first places here as opposed to more cookie-cutter kind of options,” Fisher says.

new Topsoil restaurant to host plant-based euphoria dinner

euphoria Michelin dinners $910 might seem like a steep price for a solo diner to attend three dinners. For a typical Greenville weekend, you’d be hard-pressed to spend that much on your own food and drink and come out alive. But in this case, that price tag is a bargain.

The dollar amount represents the chance during euphoria to meet five Michelin-starred chefs from three cities across the United States and partake of the culinary achievements that earned them those combined eight coveted stars. So what would it cost to dine in all five of their restaurants, including your necessary airfare and hotel accommodations? $3,349+.

what are Michelin stars?

While the Michelin brand is well-known for its tires, the Paris-based company is also famous for its annual Michelin Guide. Michelin began publishing the travel guide in Europe in 1900 to encourage new drivers to take road trips to local attractions. Among other things, the guide included anonymous European restaurant reviews that focused on the quality and flavor of food served, as well as mastery of culinary techniques and personality of the dishes. In 2005, U.S. restaurants become eligible to earn Michelin stars for the first time.

Michelin stars are now considered a hallmark of fine dining by many of the world’s top chefs — not to mention restaurant patrons. The stars are not easy to obtain and are awarded to the best restaurants in each particular city in the guide. Star recipients gain immense prestige and exposure along with the honor, and many restaurant owners also see an increase in business after receiving Michelin stars (while some who lost stars have experienced the opposite).

Today, Michelin publishes annual guides for 23 countries and a variety of large cities around the world. In the United States, Michelin Guides are available for New York City, Chicago and

A new restaurant set to open in Travelers Rest next month will host a vegetarian dinner for euphoria’s Down to Earth event.

The event serves as a sort of debut for Topsoil Kitchen and Market, which announced earlier this summer it would open in the space formerly occupied by Cafe at Williams Hardware on Main Street in Travelers Rest.

Topsoil will host euphoria’s plant-based Down to Earth dinner event at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 21, which will feature Topsoil executive chef Adam Cooke, Southern Pressed Juicery executive chef Brian McKenna, and Australian wine-maker Sam Berketa.

As the name suggests, the restaurant’s regular menu will have a heavy emphasis on fresh produce from local farms — including its own Topsoil Farm a couple of miles down the road — but it will not be exclusively vegetarian.

“It will be vegetable-forward and protein-particular — so we won’t be an all plant-based restaurant, but we will have some very interesting plant-based options as well as some proteins,” said Patrick McInerney, chief operations and marketing manager for Topsoil.

“Something for everybody.”

Topsoil’s hours will go from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will start with a breakfast and lunch menu, with a weekend dinner menu expected later on. Another focus will be on freshly baked, artisanal breads and a small selection of wine, with a bar menu in the afternoon.

“Our overall goal is to make it a fairly comfortable environment,” Topsoil Executive Chef Cooke said. “It’s got a really clean, upscale cafe look.”

Cooke brings with him experience from other successful restaurants — he was the executive chef at the luxury resort Blackberry Farm in Tennessee as well as at Hotel Domestique’s Restaurant 17.

McInerney said the restaurant will announce its opening date soon with plans to open doors before the euphoria event.

“It’s very serendipitous, the timing,” McInerney said. “We’re excited to coordinate our opening along with this dinner so we can make a big splash.”

San Francisco.

Restaurants can receive one to three Michelin stars, and it’s important to remember that even one Michelin star is considered an honor.

Star ratings are defined as follows:

One star: The restaurant is considered very good in its category but is limited in some way.

This restaurant has a quality menu and prepares cuisine to a consistently high standard, but it may lack a unique element that would bring people back over and over again.

Two stars: The restaurant has excellent cuisine delivered in a unique way. This restaurant has something exceptional to offer and is worth a detour to visit while traveling.

Three stars: The restaurant has exceptional cuisine and is worth a special trip just to visit.

Rather than being a stop on the way to a destination, this restaurant is the destination. This restaurant serves distinct dishes that are executed to perfection. source: internationalculinarycenter.com

It’s a wrap for WYFF News 4’s John Cessarich The eight-time Emmy winner is the longest-tenured Chief Meteorologist at WYFF 4, mentoring dozens of reporters and meteorologists.

VIDEO AVAILABLE ONLINE

WWW.GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

n story by LONGTIME CO-WORKER AND FRIEND STEPHANIE TROTTER | photos PROVIDED

It was a frightening moment. I was squatting beneath a frayed mattress in a cinderblock latrine, calming 12 whimpering Girl Scouts. Tornados were tap-dancing all around our camp in Greenwood County. I dialed the direct line to the WYFF News 4 Weather Center. “Where are you?” John Cessarich asked with urgency. Upon my reply, he provided a way out. “Hunker down another eight minutes. You’ll then have 30 minutes before the next line comes through. Take 246 to 25, and you’ll be fine.”

This wasn’t the first, nor last, time John’s ushered me safely through rough weather, with the same trusted assurance he’s used to guide millions of viewers. It’s hard to believe that constant voice of calm, in all storms, will grow silent after 28 plus years at WYFF 4, and 40 years in the business. “I feel at peace, I think it’s going to be good,” he shares. “I’m ready to start a new chapter. I want to get back into shape and play competitive tennis.

I’m going to be able to go out West and see my family, and stay as long as I want.”

DETAILED FORECAST

Numbers may form each forecast, but John’s career numbers are worth noting. He’s worked in almost a half dozen markets and was one of the original meteorologists to launch the Weather Channel. The eight-time Emmy winner is the longest-tenured Chief Meteorologist at WYFF 4, mentoring dozens of reporters and meteorologist.

At the end of every contract, big markets, with bigger weather, surfaced, but John stayed put. “Live Super Doppler 4?” he asks.

“That was always part of my negotiating thing, to get my own radar. We’re still the only station that has our own radar. When it comes to new technology, WYFF has always budgeted to have the best of the best. It’s what kept me here.”

OFF-AIR

John shows his serious-side during weathercasts, and his fun-loving side during “John on the Road.” Riding in a Burger King Whop-

per balloon at Freedom Weekend Aloft, downing funnel cakes at the Upper South Carolina State Fair, ringing in Christmas with the “Pelzer light people” - this is the John we work alongside. The John we’re going to miss, in addition to the cakes he’s famous for sharing after appearances. (Estimated number of Bundt, pound, sheet and cookie cakes: 1,491.)

This November, both temperature and tears will fall at WYFF 4. We’ll sense a loss when the family gathers each weeknight.

John admits he’ll feel a tug at his heart too.

“When I got the call to come to WYFF almost 29 years ago, I told my wife Connie, it’s not just where I want to be and raise my family, but it’s also a great station,” he reflects. “It’s my family away from family. The people who watch are also family. I’m going to miss them all. I’m going to miss this. It’s not just a job to me, it’s my life.”

Live Super Doppler 4...

That was always part of my negotiating thing, to get my own radar. We’re still the only station that has our own radar. When it comes to new technology, WYFF has always budgeted to have the best of the best. It’s what kept me here.”

Please join me in wishing my friend a forecast with only highs.

GIVING MATTERS

Local artist unlocks creative potential at West Greenville School with murals, hip-hop dance n story by REBECCA HOWERTON

When students at West Greenville School feel anxious and need to regain their composure, they often take a moment to watch the trains that rumble past on the tracks behind the school grounds. With the help of a local artist, and a grant funded by The Community Foundation of Greenville’s Dr. J.C. and Dorothy C. Frazier Fund, they have created their own visual representation of graffiti-adorned train cars inside the school. Students developed their artistic skills and inspired community pride while painting the murals, which serve as a daily reminder of what they are capable of achieving.

Principal Laura O’Laughlin says West Greenville School, formerly an elementary school attended by many adult community members, is as much a fixture in the West Greenville community as the train. It now serves students in grades 6–12 from across the county who have significant emotional and behavioral disorders. With a small population of only 55–60 at-risk students, the school draws on the expertise of multiple agencies, including the South Carolina Departments of Mental Health, Continuum of Care, and Juvenile Justice.

The work of these providers is coordinated so that we’re maximizing the benefits to help students process their emotions and work through their daily struggles. Our staff members are specially trained to meet the needs that can’t be met in a traditional school so all students can become healthy, productive citizens."

– Kate Stuart “I fell in love with the exotic flora and fauna of South Africa when I first went in 2017 following high school graduation,” she said.

“Since then, I’ve gone back two more times, and each year my passion for conservation deepens.”

Stuart’s first trips to South Africa took her to Limpopo province and Feracare Wildlife Centre, a facility mainly involved in the conservation of cheetahs. It was at Feracare that Stuart’s fondness for big cats developed, and when she heard about the zoo medicine program through Loop Abroad, she jumped at the chance.

“Because this specific program was held at a zoo, I was able to encounter even more species than I had been exposed to before. My time spent there gave me such a respect for accredited zoos and animal sanctuaries,” Stuart said. “There certainly are bad facilities out there that are not concerned for the well-being of the animals, but places like Lory Park and Feracare are the reason why so many species still survive.”

‘NEWSIES’ BRINGS MUSICAL FUN, RELEVANT TOPICS TO GREENVILLE’S STAGE n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by WILL CROOKS

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Loosely based on the newsboy strike of 1899, the musical tells the story of Jack Kelly and fellow newsies struggling to sell newspapers in a tough market. Fighting the town’s biggest publishers, the boys go on strike to stand for what they believe in.

Playing the lead role, local actor John C. Leggett says the show mixes contemporary musical theater with a respect for the original time period. For Leggett, playing the ambitious, suave Jack has been a longtime theater dream.

“He has a crazy character arc. He goes back and forth so many times in this show,” Leggett says. “You see a lot of different sides of him — he’s kind of hard to tackle.”

As the leader of the newsies, Jack feels obligated to take care of everyone and face their biggest problem alone.

Leggett finds Jack’s ambition and desire to follow his dreams relatable to his career as an actor.

The themes within “Newsies” are also relevant for modern audiences. “This is a big high-energy, dance-heavy, showy show, but it is relevant in a lot of ways,” Leggett says.

“So we’ve really tried to work hard to still keep it entertaining but also trying to harness the honesty in everything we’re doing.”

Guest director Micah-Shane Brewer calls “Newsies” a “highdemanding, triple-threat show” with phenomenal singing, dancing, and acting.

Even though it is this happy musical, and it’s got great music, and the dance is so exciting, there is some heart to the story.”

– Micah-Shane Brewer, guest director

“I think the main theme of the show is that it takes courage to stand up and do what’s right,” Brewer says. “Even though it’s based on a story 120 years ago and even though it’s a Disney show, there are some themes in the show and some subject matter that we’re still dealing with today.”

Issues with social class, livable wages, income inequality, and racial injustices are topics that Brewer says are mirrored in today’s world.

“Even though it is this happy musical, and it’s got great music, and the dance is so exciting, there is some heart to the story,” he says. “It takes courage for these boys to stand up for themselves because they are the underdog. Because they have no one fighting for them.”

PAUL'S PICK

“Into the Woods” Anderson’s Market Theatre

n story by PAUL HYDE

Searching for a musical to produce in Anderson’s downtown park, Noah Taylor homed in on Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.”

It’s an ideal choice, said Taylor, the executive artistic director of The Market Theatre Co. After all, the story is set – you guessed it – in the woods.

“Performing it outdoors should help the audience feel immersed in the world of the show,” Taylor said.

Evelyn Ruff plays Little Red Riding Hood The Market Theatre and the city of Anderson are Photo by Angel Ruff Photography presenting seven free performances of “Into the Woods,” Sept. 5-15, in Anderson’s Carolina Wren Park.

The Tony Award-winning musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm stories, following characters from “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack SEPTEMBER 5-15| 7PM and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel,” and “Cinderella” as CAROLINA WREN PARK they strive for “happily ever after.”

The various story threads are tied together by an FREE original narrative involving a baker and his wife hopTHEMARKETANDERSON.ORG ing to begin a family.

The musical touches on several themes: growing up, parent-child relationships, and an individual’s responsibility to the community.

“There are so many storylines intertwined that it’s hard to narrow it down to a single concept. Ultimately, I think it’s about selfishness versus selflessness,” Taylor said.

The heroes of “Into the Woods” are those who care for others, he said.

Taylor chose “Into the Woods” for The Market Theatre’s annual performances in the park after seeing videos of other outdoor performances of the musical, including celebrated productions in London’s Regent’s Park and New York’s Central Park.

“Into the Woods” is not considered a children’s show, though the musical “has something for all ages,” Taylor said.

“It has beautiful music; it’s Sondheim, so it’s really complex, but it has fairy tale characters that kids will appreciate and be interested in,” he said.

The Market Theatre’s production features 20 local actors, with some portraying two characters. By tradition, for instance, the same actor plays the wolf and Cinderella’s prince.

“Into the Woods” is the third production The Market Theatre has offered in the park this summer. Earlier shows were “Broadway in the Park” and “The Adventures of Pericles.”

The Market Theatre and the city of Anderson have presented plays in Carolina Wren Park for the past five years; “Into the Woods” is the first musical they’ve produced in the park.

“It’s all thanks to the city of Anderson being so supportive of theater and really embracing the idea that theater is good for our community because it brings people downtown and brings people together,” Taylor said.

n story by MELODY CUENCA

Greenville native Cole Stamm first encountered the word “milieu” at an addiction rehabilitation center in Malibu. Stamm’s fellow counselors and other staff used the word to refer to the clients’ hangout spots and common areas. “I always thought that was a really strange word to use,” he says.

The Merriam-Webster definition of “milieu” is the physical or social setting in which something occurs or develops. So when Stamm decided to make a short film about a former addict, he knew “Milieu” would be the perfect name.

“I thought it was an interesting word that people hadn’t really heard before and that seemed really specific to that community,” he says. During his time as a counselor, Stamm also learned of milieu therapy where the social environment is used as a tool to help addicts get better together.

As a filmmaker whose past work has appeared in international film festivals, Stamm is no stranger to film. “Milieu” is primarily based on stories he heard while working in the Malibu center and his personal research.

“I’ve just been really interested in this — all the drug epidemics and all the people that it affects in the U.S.,” he says. Through his short film, Stamm hopes to eliminate the stigma surrounding drug addicts and encourage more empathic responses.

“I think it’s really about people with addictions’ inability to cope with stuff in life,” he says. “When bad stuff happens, they use drugs as just a way to cope with things like sadness and different kinds of emotions — which is a very universal thing.”

While everyone copes with emotions differently, those who become drug addicts face the shame and guilt of their subsequent behaviors.

“Whether it’s drugs or something else, people always find ways to escape from dealing with emotions,” Stamm says. “I just want people to see it in

“Milieu” follows a day in the life of a former addict who has counseled others for about six years. The man gets news of his friend’s death by drug overdose. “Basically, the guy struggles to not relapse himself while he’s working at the rehab that following day,” Stamm says.

For Greenville viewers, Stamm hopes to have “Milieu” screened at an Upstate film festival in the coming years.

UPSTATE BEAT

Three to see at euphoria VINCENT HARRIS Contributor

The Drive-By Truckers aren’t the only great musical act playing euphoria Greenville this year. There are some great local acts playing original music that deserve to be in the spotlight, so I thought I would tell you a bit about some of the talented folks from around here who’ll be performing at this year’s festival.

JACOB JOHNSON:

Feast by the Field | Sat., Sept. 21st Corner of S. Markley & S. Main | 12 p.m. | $90 Seeing Jacob Johnson play guitar is one of those things that needs to be on your “Must Do” list. He’s one of the most spectacular acoustic players I’ve ever seen. His solos are dazzling, he can provide his own percussive backbeat on the body of his guitar, and he’s got an appealingly dorky between-song patter thing that I really enjoy.

Seriously though, you need to see this guy play guitar.

There will be times during his solos when you’ll be convinced that this dude has more than two hands, but it never feels like Johnson is sacrificing melody for the sake of flashiness.

MY GIRL, MY WHISKEY & ME:

Sunday Brunch: Fired Up! | Sun., Sept. 22nd Corner of S. Markley & S. Main | 11 a.m. | $60 (adult) // $15 (kids, ages 4-11) // $135 (2 adult + 2 kids) // free (kids under 3) The word “eclectic” is often used as a sort of catchall for music that doesn’t fall within specific genres, but it’s difficult to think of a better word to describe what My Girl, My Whiskey & Me’s music sounds like.

listen

SOME OF THE MUSIC EVENTS HAPPENING AT euphoria2019

Thursday, September 19 | Songwriter’s Recipe | Zen | 6:30 p.m. | $105 ABOUT: If you crave intimate, behind-the-scenes music exclusives, this event is for you. Enjoy a night of musical performances and stories from legendary songwriters and take home exclusive recipes from the evening’s chefs. Patrick Davis, James Otto, Levi Lowrey & Wyatt Durrette will not only perform their biggest hits and personal favorites, they will also reveal the inspiration behind their music. Before the musicians take the stage, enjoy a cocktail reception and small bites from some of the Southeast’s top chefs.

ARTISTS: James Otto | Patrick Davis | Yesterday's Wine Thursday, Sept. 19 | Greenville Kick-Off Party | Old Cigar Warehouse | 8 p.m. | $80 ABOUT: Treat yourself to the best tastes of Greenville at the euphoria Kick-Off Party—an absolute must for newcomers and residents alike. Sample cuisine from a bevy of local chefs who will fill the Old Cigar Warehouse in the West End with deliciousness.

ARTISTS: Drive-By Truckers | The Vegabonds

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // AUGUST 30

There’s bluegrass in this mix, for sure, but it definitely has a progressive edge, and when Robert Gowan’s exotic fiddle takes flight over George Beardsworth & Kelly Colyer’s sparkling vocal harmonies, the band sounds a lot more like folk with a little world music worked in.

Maybe call it “exotic acoustic music,” and then sit back and enjoy the show.

MARK WEBB, JR.:

VIP Experience | Fri., Sept. 20th The Champions Club at Fluor Field | 4:30 – 6 p.m.

I’m really starting to wonder how much longer Mark is going to be one of Greenville’s bestkept secrets. He has an innate feel for country music, and I mean ACTUAL country music, the stuff that really doesn’t get played on the radio anymore.

In fact, I feel like Mark could’ve fit perfectly in the country music mainstream of the 1990s, when pedal steel guitars and fiddles weren’t window dressing and artists like Alan Jackson, George Strait, and Vince Gill brought pop melodies to country without watering it down or making it feel too polished.

He’s probably going to be a big deal out in Nashville, Tennessee, someday, if anyone out there still knows what to do with him, but in the meantime, this guy is the real countrymusic deal in your own backyard.

Saturday, Sept. 21 | Feast by the Field | Corner of S. Markley & S. Main Streets | 12 p.m. | $90 ABOUT: Saturday festivities ramp up at noon with a feast for all your senses with food, wine and music galore. Whether you want to watch demos by your favorite chefs, sample ‘til your heart’s content at the Grand Wine Tasting, taste brews from regional distillers, check out the techniques of your favorite grillmaster, or simply sit back with a cold drink and enjoy the music, you’re sure to harvest a good time at Feast by the Field.

ARTISTS: Jacob Johnson | Kami Ocean & The Rhythm Saturday, Sept. 21 | Party in the Park | Trailblazer Park | 7 p.m. $90 or $105 with transportation from downtown ABOUT: With tunes by Steel Toe Stiletto, creative libations by Slush Buddies, and bites by a host of acclaimed Southeast chefs, this party under the stars in Trailblazer Park in Travelers Rest promises to be an evening to remember. Opt in for the transportation provided, so you can let really let the good times roll!

ARTISTS: Steel Toe Stiletto Sunday, Sept. 22 | Sunday Brunch: Fired Up! | Corner of S. Markley & S. Main Streets | 11 a.m. adult: $60 | kids (4-11): $15 | family 4-pack: $135 (2 adult + 2 kids) | kids (3 & under): free ABOUT: One of euphoria’s most popular events, the Sunday Brunch features a group of guest pitmasters offering up some of the best ‘cue in the Southeast. Beyond barbecue, more than a dozen local and regional chefs will be serving up classic brunch fare. It wouldn’t truly be brunch without Bloody Marys and mimosas, and they’ll be flowing freely, accompanied by Sunday morning tunes by My Girl My Whiskey and Me. ARTISTS: My Girl My Whiskey and Me

Last year, we spoke with a country singer/songwriter named Ashley McBryde as she prepared to play the Blind Horse Saloon here in Greenville for the first time.

When we talked to her, McBryde had begun to garner some commercial attention and critical praise for her album, “Girl Going Nowhere,” a gritty, emotional collection of rockin’ country tunes.

The album’s title track had recently been named one of National Public Radio’s “200 Greatest Songs by 21st Century Women,” and McBryde had been called an “Artist You Need to Know” by Rolling Stone, which further described her as “an Arkansas red-clay badass, with the swagger of Hank Jr. and the songwriting of Miranda Lambert.”

The pace picked up so fast I can’t even absorb all of the things that have happened. It’s just been hit after hit for us, the ACMs, Grammy nominations, everywhere you turn, something really cool is happening.

It’s hard to know what to focus on.”

“It can get really frustrating,” she says. “But you can also look at that schedule and think, ‘We’ve worked our entire lives for it to feel like this, so you pull – Ashley McBryde your boots up and put on your smile and be super grateful for what you’re doing.’”

Through all of the praise and star-making moments, though, McBryde has PRICES VARY managed to remain the same T-shirt-and-jeans, down-to-earth performer who It was a promising start, but it’s difficult to imagine that McBryde OPERATIONMUSICFEST.COM played at the Blind Horse last year.

“I’ve got a show at 8 p.m. tonight that’s just me acoustic,” she says, “but my day started 30 minutes ago with getting up and doing interviews before getting my hair and makeup done. I don’t know if I used to think that people at this level kicked back all day and played their show, but that’s not true. The entire day is full.

It’s in those moments of chaos that McBryde says she has to remind herself why there’s so much to do.

n story by VINCENT HARRIS | Photo provided by ACETATE RECORDS

In October 1999, the Tucson, Arizona, hellraisers known as the Supersuckers released their fifth album, a 13-song slab of mostly loud, hard, and fast rock tunes called, fittingly enough, “The Evil Powers of Rock & Roll.” The turbo-charged album was meant as a sort of return to form after a sojourn into country and cowpunk music on the Supersuckers’ previous album, “Must’ve Been High.”

“We’d just put out the country record, and everyone was pissed off at us for doing that,” says the band’s singer, bass player, and iconic cowboy-hat-and-shades-wearing frontman, Eddie Spaghetti. “We felt like we had to come out guns blazing with a great rock record, and we did.”

Despite that back-to-basics sound, the album didn’t do that well in the U.S., though it was successful in Europe. Ultimately, it became another step on the long and winding path of an American rock ‘n’ roll band that’s been left for dead many times and always come back swinging.

“We were supposed to have become a washedup band,” Spaghetti says. “The album fell short sales-wise, so there were a lot of negative emotions attached to the whole experience.”

Time has a way of changing things, though, and when the Supersuckers realized that the 20th anniversary of the release of “The Evil Powers of Rock & Roll” was coming up, they decided to commemorate it with a tour.

“That record did a lot better in Europe than it did in the States,” Spaghetti says, “so we did a tour in Europe where we played the

whole album to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the record.”

When Spaghetti and his Supersuckers bandmates, guitarist “Metal” Marty Chandler and drummer Christopher “Chango” Von Streicher, revisited the material on that ill-fated album, they discovered something.

“I think that going back to it, it solidified my opinion of how good the band has always been and how good the songs are,” Spaghetti says.

“And the European shows went so well that we thought, ‘Well, even though that record didn’t really kill it here, there ARE people who love it, so why not give it a try here?”

And so it is that the Supersuckers are coming to the Radio Room in Greenville on Wednesday, Sept. 4, to bash out those 20-yearold tunes, along with other favorites and audience requests from their 11 albums of punkinspired rock, down-and-dirty country, and assorted weirdness.

In a way, this tour isn’t just a celebration of an album, it’s a celebration of a band that has endured all sorts of personal and professional pitfalls and survived. Spaghetti himself has come all the way back from a diagnosis of stage 3 throat cancer back in 2015, and it seems to have given him a different perspective on the group he’s been fronting since 1988.

“I’ve never felt better, and I feel like the band is better than it’s ever been,” he says.

“We’re certainly better than we have any business being at this point. We’ve been around since the nineteen-hundred-and-eighties, you know? That’s a LONG time.”

Passerelle Bistro and euphoria's Taste of the South Where we’re dining:

PASSERELLE BISTRO n story by ARIEL TURNER

Tickets for euphoria’s Taste of the South at Fluor Field have been split into two categories this year: full access to food, desserts, drinks, and the concert, or for $55 less, get the concert, drinks, and dessert.

The latter option gives you just that, an option, to have dinner elsewhere while still getting the open bar, desserts from some of the best pastry chefs in the Southeast, and the show.

To still get Taste of the South-

level cuisine in walking distance from the ball field, head to Passerelle Bistro to enjoy dinner overlooking the Liberty Bridge.

Executive chef Jenifer Rogers has created a menu of French dishes influenced heavily by bold New Orleans flavors. Rogers is an experienced pastry chef, too, so don’t skip the bread. And a word of advice: Stick to the food and save the wine and cocktails for the show since “all-you-can-drink” is not just a cute phrase once you get there.

The Drive-By Truckers used to hit the Upstate a lot, bringing their roaring mix of hard-rock swagger and alt-country grit to places like The Handlebar a couple of times a year. But in recent years, singer/guitarists Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley haven’t led their fellow Truckers into town all that much.

That’s just one of the reasons that the Athens, Georgia, band’s performance at euphoria’s Taste of the South event at Fluor Field is such a special occasion.

“It’s been a really long time,” Hood says. “It’s been too long.

And I hear Greenville has changed a lot. My brother’s from Piedmont, and I’ve heard the whole area’s been going through a boom.”

The Truckers have a deservedly strong reputation as a live band; over their 30-plus-year, 11-album career, their show has remained a raucous, ragged one, without a hint of predictability.

“Every set is different because we don’t use a setlist,” Hood says. “We decide what we’re going to open with, and that’s all we know going into it. It’s just based on how we feel up there, and how the crowd feels. The mood, the vibe, the staging, it all affects the show, and that’s why we don’t do a setlist, because we want to be open and free to go wherever that leads us, even if it leads us astray.

“That doesn’t happen too often,” Hood adds with a laugh, “but that possibility is always part of the fun. Rock ‘n’ roll is a little more fun if there’s a chance it can go off the rails.”

The setlists also bit the dust because in the early days, they became a major bone of contention between Hood and Cooley, the creative nucleus of the band for its entire existence.

“Cooley and I were in three bands together before the Truckers,” Hood says, “one of which was really good. When we started the Truckers, we made a conscious decision not to have a setlist because before, I’d make a setlist and then I’d veer off of it, and it always pissed Cooley off. We used to fight about it, a lot. So when we started the Truckers, we tried to think about the things we fought about and figure out ways to fix them so that we didn’t.”

That partnership is probably what helped the Truckers cre-

DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS

ate the most successful album of their career back SEPTEMBER 20 | 6PM in 2016, the stunFLUOR FIELD ning “American Band.” It was an unabashedly po$75-$130 litical, potentially EUPHORIAGREENVILLE.COM polarizing collection of songs that expressed the band’s bewilderment and rage about our country’s political landscape on the eve of one of the most polarizing presidential elections in our history.

It was also an album that a lot of people around the band implored them not to make.

“People told us we were going to lose half of our fan base,” Hood says. “They told us that we were committing career suicide.”

The Truckers had heard that before, though, specifically about 2001’s “Southern Rock Opera,” an ambitious, 20-song concept album based on the career of their fellow Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd that brought them their first taste of national success.

“When we were making ‘Southern Rock Opera,’ were convinced we’d lost our minds,” Hood says. “And that was the record that put us on the map. We seem to do our best when we’re working on something that people tell us not to do.”

It’s taken the Truckers more than three years to craft a follow-up to “American Band,” but their new, as-yet-untitled album is coming early next year, and subject-wise, Hood says it’s more of the same.

“The world, our country, and our society have gotten to such a strange place,” he says. “It’s been really challenging to articulate the way that makes you feel in a way that anybody would want to hear. It was really challenging to figure out how to write songs about right now. It’s probably as political as the last record, but it’s also more personal. It’s a personal slant on how it feels to be here right now. But I’m really proud of what we ended up with, and hopefully other people will be, too. “

YELLOWSTONE | PARAMOUNT NETWORK | 2 SEASONS | 18 EPISODES | 1 HOUR EACH The series follows the conflicts along the shared borders of a large cattle ranch, an Indian reservation, land developers and Yellowstone National Park. In June 2019, Paramount renewed the series for a third season.

NOTES: This series bills it self as the "Godfather" in a cowboy hat. Yellowstone definitely grabbed

my attention from the start and has held it through the full series - definitely for mature audiences.

MASTERCHEF | FOX | 10 SEASONS | APPROX. 200 EPISODES | 1 HOUR EACH

Award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay, acclaimed chef Aarón Sánchez and renowned restaurateur Joe Bastianich put a new batch of talented home cooks through a series of challenges and elimination rounds.

NOTES: Okay, so maybe I am a nerd, but I LOVE this series. Not only do I enjoy wathcing it for the reality drama - but I also learn from Chef Ramsey on almost every episode. Family friendly.
