We all must work together to manage downtown’s growth By Barry Nocks

Active day and night, the streets of downtown Greenville are filled with people, festivals, markets, and a wide range of activities for families and adults. The city’s renaissance and location have placed it on countless lists of Top 10 cities, increasing demand for tourism and hotels. Downtown hotel rooms now number 1,277, with 876 new rooms planned or under construction. Conventions and tourists abound, and downtown is a significant economic driver in the local and regional economy. And after years of residential abandonment, an increasing number of people live downtown. Since 2010, about 1,500 new units have been completed, including both condominiums and apartments, with 1,620 more planned or under construction. Yet downtown housing contains less than 10 percent of the housing in the city. Downtown is unquestionably getting more crowded, dense, and busy. However, it is important to remember that a thriving central business district is busy and full of life. Finding the right balance is achievable. Our challenge is to support downtown’s transition from a simpler local market center to a vibrant, more complex urban center. Our recent – and very positive – growth spurt challenges us in several ways: How do we meet growing and more complex infrastructure needs in water, sewer, police, parking, and other services?

How do we provide adequate transportation access that goes beyond cars and parking to include public transit, bicycle, and walking options? How do we develop a range of affordable housing options in and around the city? How do we maintain the current financial viability of downtown development? How do we sustain quality development while planning for future development? How do we design buildings that are resilient, standing the test of time? I am optimistic that the city will prosper if we continue to respond to the issues raised by our stakeholders across the board. City Council is attentive to the concerns of downtown residents, business owners, and visitors. We have a talented and dedicated set of public professionals in the areas of economic development, planning, and community development that provide expert advice and technical assistance. Citizen boards such as the Planning Commission, the Design Review Board, and the Board of Zoning Appeals work diligently to promote what is best for the city. They often make tough decisions. Other examples of strong city involvement include the Technical Advisory Committee, which is comprised of city staff from various departments. This committee vets potential businesses to ensure late-night establishments and other public venues operate in a manner compatible with surrounding uses. Additionally, strict design standards ensure signage and architecture are pedestrianfriendly and appealing. All of these examples show the extra steps Greenville takes to foster an attractive and special place. We must continue our inclusive planning and public-private partnerships to manage the change that is necessary for our successful future. Strategic leadership must balance economic development with services and infrastructure to maintain the current quality of life for residents and visitors alike. But this also involves you, the interested resident. If you would like to become more engaged in strategic planning for Greenville’s growth, you might begin by following public board activities and attending their meetings; contacting your City Council representative with thoughts, ideas, or concerns and voting in the upcoming City Council election; and getting involved in city planning. The City’s Comprehensive Plan update, which will begin within the next six months, forms the policy basis for development over the next decade. A new Downtown Master Plan update is also on the horizon. Numerous public meetings will be held in both processes with opportunities for public input. Most of all, enjoy downtown. Take in the TD Saturday Market or an evening concert, or just meander along Falls Park and the Greenville Hospital System Swamp Rabbit trail. Park in a city garage (where the first hour is free), and walk or, better yet, take one of the four new trolley routes. We have much to experience and take pride in our vibrant downtown and city. Dr. Barry Nocks, FAICP, is professor emeritus of planning at Clemson University. He directed the Reedy River Master Plan in 2002 and recently completed 17 years of service on the Greenville Planning Commission and Design Review Board.

SPLIT PERSONALITY Greenville’s corporate leaders urged to face the growing problem of ‘two Greenvilles’ WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM

Look out from one of downtown Greenville’s rooftop venues and you can see two Greenvilles. There’s the Greenville where the economy is at full throttle. Cranes dot the skyline, and apartments, hotels, office, and retail have been built at a rapid pace over the past few years. It’s the Greenville that inspired the popular tagline “Yeah, THAT Greenville.” It was the Greenville seen by the campaign cabinet of the United Way of Greenville as they looked at downtown during a retreat held at Up on the Roof, a rooftop restaurant and event space at the new downtown Embassy Suites, earlier this year as nonprofit members talked strategy for reaching the organization’s $17 million fundraising goal for this year. Then they turned around and looked in the direction of the Kroc Center and beyond. There, they saw another Greenville. Kurt Rozelsky, a partner at the Smith Moore Leatherwood law firm and chair of this year’s United Way campaign, relayed this story at last week’s Corporate Leaders Breakfast hosted by the nonprofit. “You realized that there was ‘Yeah, THAT Greenville,’” said Rozelsky. “We’ve celebrated the successes of Main Street, but just 2 miles from here in Nicoltown, people are struggling.” They’re struggling in West Greenville, too. There, mere blocks from downtown, the average household income is around $14,000, an amount that would be gobbled up paying a year’s rent at some of the newest apartments downtown — gone before paying for food, utilities, insurance, a car, and the gas that goes in it. In West Greenville, only 14 percent of residents have at least an associate degree. Forty-four percent of residents have no access to a car. Unemployment is at 17 percent, when the rate for Greenville County as a whole was 3.9 percent in July. “We don’t have a jobs problem; we have a people problem,” said Bo Aughtry, principal of Windsor Aughtry

Company, which has developed hotels, most in downtown. Carlos Phillips, president of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, said Greenville doesn’t have the talent to fill some of the jobs that are open. There is sixth-tenths of an eligible person for every job vacancy in the area, he said. “We have a people shortage, a shortage of qualified people, a shortage of people with access to a job,” Phillips said.

one of his hotels starts at about $20,000 per year. Aughtry added that the last bus for the route many of those employees take leaves downtown at 4:30 p.m. “People are still working at 4:30. You can get a job in Greenville, but you have to be able to get to it.” Mark Farris, president and CEO of the Greenville Area Development Corp., said part of the problem is that not enough workers have been trained for the production jobs of the future.

Greenville doesn’t have the talent to fill some of the jobs that are open. There is sixth-tenths of an eligible person for every job vacancy in the area.

Aughtry said gentrification has forced many line employees who work in downtown Greenville to live farther from the city’s core, making it more difficult for them to get to and from work if they don’t have a car. If they do have a car, the cost of parking downtown is an obstacle. “Public transportation in this city needs to be greatly improved,” he said, and also noted that a line employee at

“Greenville has the elements in place to train these employees. We have to train our children that manufacturing is an option,” he said. But Lillian Brock Flemming, a Greenville City Council member and an educator, said part of the problem is parents who believe their children must go to a traditional four-year college to be successful and view manu-

facturing jobs as dirty and unfulfilling. “We have the children there,” she said, citing an increased interest in career and technology fields. “We need to get the parents there.” Phillips, who came to Greenville from Louisville, Ky., said transportation, education, and wages were issues in Ferguson, Mo., but the community did not address them in time. Something simi-

lar happened in Charlotte, N.C., too, he said. “It was really a result of things being neglected,” he said. “We have a wonderful opportunity in Greenville to work together to address those needs. I’m not predicting any sort of civil unrest in Greenville, but people have a way of expressing their concerns if they are not met.”

South Carolina’s governor is set to speak at Bob Jones University. The Greenville-based school announced last week that Gov. Henry McMaster would address the Bob Jones University Public Policy Organization on Sept. 5. The forum, which begins at 6 p.m. in Stratton Hall near the university’s Welcome Center, is free and open to the public. The governor will take questions afterward. McMaster, the former lieutenant governor, entered office in January when former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was selected by President Donald J. Trump to serve as ambassador to the United Nations. Prior to serving as governor, McMaster served as state chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party and attorney general of South Carolina. He was the first United States attorney appointed by President Ronald Reagan. He has also served on the South Carolina Ports Authority board of directors, the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, the Palmetto Health Foundation board, and the South Carolina Policy Council. McMaster, a Republican, recently launched a campaign for re-election next year. —Andrew Moore

From designing habitats and toys for animals at the Greenville Zoo to learning about simple machines by studying Rube Goldberg cartoons, students at five Greenville County schools will learn STEAM-related skills through innovative classroom projects funded by a new Public Education Partners of Greenville County teacher grants program. PEP awarded five projects $2,000 each in the inaugural year of its Building STEAM grant program. Dr. Ansel Sanders, PEP’s president and CEO, said the program was established to help Greenville County teachers bring innovative projects that integrate STEAM into the classroom. At Greenville Early College, Marie Lemon’s sixth-grade science students will design improved habitats for animals at the Greenville Zoo while they study zoology and invention. Students will invent toys that animals at the Greenville Zoo could use as enrichment in their habitats. Some first-graders at Taylors Elementary School will look like scientists thanks to lab coats, goggles, and scientific tools teacher Tory Pennington will receive through her grant.

Students also explore STEAM through play, she said. During a multiweek STEAM unit based on Rube Goldberg, fourth-graders in Blythe Academy’s gifted and talented program will research the artist’s life and work, study characteristics of his cartoons, and investigate his lasting impact. Teacher Pompey Hammontree received the grant. Malinda Edmonston and Carey Yarem, media and computer lab specialists at Pelham Road Elementary School, will create a maker’s space at their school to help younger students gain hands-on experience with STEAM. Greenville High School teacher Joshua Carroll will use his grant to implement modeling-based physics where students start with labs to problem-solve like scientists, building mathematical and physical models, and then use the models developed to solve lab-based problems. Modeling-based physics allows students to learn science content through science practices, develop creative problemsolving skills, and work collaboratively with peers. —Cindy Landrum

Dabo Swinney signs 8-year contract extension Good news, Clemson Tigers fans. Head football coach Dabo Swinney isn’t going anywhere. Last Friday, the university’s athletic department announced an eight-year contract extension for Swinney, who last season led the program to its first national title win since 1981. “Dabo’s impact on our football program, our university, and our community is immeasurable and goes well beyond the on-field successes and national championship,” said Dan Radakovich, director of athletics, in a statement. “This new agreement demonstrates our strong commitment to Dabo and our confidence in his leadership now — and in the future — and his long-term commitment to Clemson. We are thrilled that he and his family will be a part of the Clemson family for years to come.” Swinney’s new contract, worth $54 million with an approximate payout of $6.75 million per year, will make him one of college football’s top-paid coaches. “This contract makes a strong statement.

But as the sun returned, the group of birds walked back into the water and started flapping their wings as they usually do in the morning. And the zoo’s rheas, the South American version of emus and ostriches, were startled as the sunlight disappeared. One female even fluffed her wings and ran across the exhibit, leaving behind a collection of eggs in her nest. “Their behavior seemed defensive,” said Quinn. “I think they could have possibly felt threatened by the lack of sunlight. They definitely knew something was off.”

The giraffes reportedly ventured outside from their barn after totality as if it was morning. Chickens in the barnyard roosted inside their coop during and after totality. And the zoo’s coati, Syd, reacted noisily and paced around his exhibit.

It seems like only a few short months ago that Deshaun Watson was connecting with Hunter Renfrow #13 to seal Clemson’s first national championship since 1981. What a magical ride the 2016 season turned out to be for Clemson fans. If you had heart issues, last season surely didn’t do you any favors, as Clemson was able to win seven of its 15 games by less

We all remember Hunter Renfrow’s final catch of the 2016 season. The former walk-on and redshirt junior has earned a reputation as the Tigers’ reliable, sure-handed receiver. Of the Tigers’ top five leading receivers last season, Renfrow and Deon Cain are the only two remaining on the roster. Returning players like junior Ray-Ray McCloud and sophomore Cornell Powell have been waiting to make a bigger splash, and new recruits Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers should also see playing time. But as one of the unit’s more experienced veterans, Renfrow will still get his touches.

than eight points. To say Clemson was clutch in crunch time would be a severe understatement. However, as head coach Dabo Swinney has said, that was last year’s team, and the 2017 team hasn’t earned anything yet. Clemson has a young roster with plenty of talented players who have experience playing on the biggest of stages. This year’s team will need to lean on that experience to reach double-digit wins for the seventh consecutive year. Let’s take a look

ule, it’s not without its share of difficulties. Clemson starts out with a layup in the home opener versus Kent State. This will be critical with the number of first-time starters on offense. Those guys will need to gel quickly, because the remainder of September gets very difficult. Auburn comes to Death Valley the next week, and with a revamped passing attack under transfer Jarrett Stidham, the SEC team is certainly capable of beating Clemson.

Later in September, Swinney’s Tigers will have to travel to both Louisville and Virginia Tech, two teams the Tigers squeaked out victories against last season. November presents a share of problems as well. Traveling to N.C. State on Nov. 4 won’t be a walk in the park. The following week, the Tigers host Florida State at home, in what has been a de facto playoff game for making the ACC championship the last handful of years. It’s hard to predict how the Tigers will finish the season with so many unknowns. The defense should be one of the best we’ve seen, so one figures that if they can get production out of the quarterback position, a return trip to the playoffs is not out of the question. That’s a pretty big if, though. We’ll know much more about this team by the end of September.

Kelly Bryant quarterback

QUARTERBACK With the departure of Deshaun Watson, there are some big shoes to fill at quarterback for the Tigers. Luckily, Clemson has recruited the position well, and the cupboard is far from bare. Junior Kelly Bryant #2 will lead Clemson’s offense to start the season. Redshirt freshman Zerrick Cooper and true freshman Hunter Johnson will go back and forth throughout the season to try to take command of the backup spot. Coach Swinney has said both will see playing time this year.

RUNNING BACK For the last three seasons, Wayne Gallman was a workhorse for the Tigers, leading the team in carries and yards on the ground. The consistency he provided at the running back position will be missed, but the Tigers have plenty of options mov-

A dual-threat quarterback, Kelly Bryant has appeared in 12 games for the Tigers, typically being deployed as a running threat behind center. Bryant’s most memorable performance came during his freshman season in a 58-0 blowout against Miami, when he scored two rushing touchdowns of 59 yards and 10 yards. In his career, Bryant is 13-22 passing for 75 yards with a touchdown and interception. He’s also rushed for 178 yards on 35 carries. But the million-dollar question is how well Bryant handles distributing the football to Clemson’s embarrassment of riches at receiver.

Deon Cain, wide receiver

DEXTER LAWRENCE

With the departure of Mike Williams to the NFL, junior Deon Cain is expected to lead the Tigers’ roster of wide receivers. Cain’s tenure at Clemson hasn’t always been smooth; as a freshman in 2015, he was suspended for the Orange Bowl and the national championship game due to a violation of team rules. But the talent has always been there. Last year, Cain was sixth in team receptions with 38 catches for 724 yards and nine touchdowns, and he led the team with 19.1 yards per catch. Look for the speedy Cain to make a name for himself this year as his production jumps in the Tigers’ explosive offense. ing forward. Redshirt junior C.J. Fuller will likely be at the top of the depth chart followed by sophomore Tavien Feaster and redshirt junior Adam Choice. Collectively, the three haven’t seen a lot of action on

ture Deon Cain #8, Hunter Renfrow, and Ray-Ray McCloud. Co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said he feels that he has nine receivers who could start at any point and be productive. Sophomore Cornell Powell is one of the most physical receiv-

Mitch Hyatt, left tackle

Offensive linemen are perhaps the most underappreciated unit in football. They’re not out on the field making flashy, highlight-worthy plays or stuffing the stat sheet, but their work in the trenches is crucial. Ever since Mitch Hyatt arrived as a true freshman, he has been a star for the Tigers at left tackle, earning All-ACC honors both seasons. Last year, the junior was tied for second on the team with 32.5 knockdown blocks. Hyatt has started 29 of 30 games in his first two years and only gave up two sacks last season over the course of nearly 1,000 snaps. Kelly Bryant will be thankful to have Hyatt protecting his blindside throughout the season.

the field. Last year, Fuller led the group with 47 carries, followed by Choice’s 45 and Feaster’s 37. True freshman and Louisiana native Travis Etienne, who chose Clemson over LSU, has garnered praise from coaches, who say he has elite vision that can’t be taught. Expect the Tigers to be a running back by committee to start the season.

WIDE RECEIVER Even with the departures of Mike Williams and Artavis Scott, Clemson should be able to reload at the position with a mix of proven production and new talent. There should be little to no drop off at that position. The first-team trio of wide receivers Clemson will roll out should fea-

ers on the team, and sophomore Deondre Overton should also get more playing time. Clemson also has two highly touted true freshmen in Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers. The 6-foot-5 Higgins is already drawing comparisons to former Georgia Bulldog and current Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver AJ Green. At 5 foot 9, Rogers figures to be a slot receiver and has been praised for his good hands. Clemson is simply stacked here; the only thing that could hold them back is the ability for the quarterback to get them the ball.

TIGHT END The tight end position is one of the thinner units on the roster for Clemson. Clemson will replace Jordan Leggett with

Dexter Lawrence, defensive tackle

As a true freshman, Dexter Lawrence made his presence known on a supremely talented defensive front. The nation’s No. 2 recruit lived up to the hype, posting 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks on the year. Lawrence was crucial to the Tigers’ postseason success, registering two sacks in the ACC Championship game and four tackles and two quarterback pressures in the National Championship game. And his impact goes beyond the stat sheet; the threat of a 340-pound tackle that can both get to the quarterback and stuff the run will give any opposing offense some game-planning nightmares. With a year of experience under his belt, Lawrence’s production should see a boost this season.

Christian Wilkins defensive tackle

Writer Chase Goodbread ranked Christian Wilkins as the No. 1 most “freakish” athlete in college football heading into this season. That’s high praise on a list that includes shifty speedsters like Penn State running back Saquon Barkley and Louisville’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson. Goodbread writes, “At 310 pounds, Wilkins’ athleticism is difficult to fathom. He’s been clocked at 4.80 in the 40-yard dash. … That’s ridiculously fast for a player his size.” The versatile Wilkins has seen snaps at both defensive tackle and defensive end during his time at Clemson, and he’ll spend his junior year back at tackle. In 2016, Wilkins led the team with 13 tackles for loss.

redshirt junior Milan Richard. Richard came to Clemson as the sixth best tight end in the country coming out of high school and is the nephew of Herschel Walker. Richard is a downfield threat in the passing game with the ability to make catches in traffic and get separation from defenders. What he will need to improve upon will be his blocking, particularly in

short-yardage situations.

OFFENSE LINE Clemson returns four out of five starters from last year’s team. Anchoring the line will be junior Mitch Hyatt #75 at left tackle. Opposite of Hyatt will be true sophomore Sean Pollard, who was forced into action last season when Jake

tions on the field. Last season, Ferrell earned co-defensive rookie of the year with Lawrence. Bryant missed the first half of the 2016 season with a leg injury but came on strong toward the end of last season as he returned to health. Both Ferrell and Bryant should have productive seasons, especially given the attention that Lawrence and Wilkins command on the interior.

LINEBACKER

Kendall Joseph, linebacker

If you said the word “linebacker” last season to any Clemson fan, Ben Boulware was likely the first name to come to mind, and for good reason — Boulware was known as the heart and soul of the Tigers’ defense. But in terms of production, linebacker Kendall Joseph was right behind his counterpart, finishing the 2016 season with 106 total tackles (second on the team to Boulware’s 116) and 11.5 tackles for loss (tied for second with Boulware). Now, it’s Joseph’s time to step up as a leader of the Tigers’ defense.

Fruhmorgen left the team for personal reasons. Pollard held up very well, and with added muscle, he looks to become an even bigger force on the line. Starting guards Tyrone Crowder and Taylor Hearn return, with talented sophomore John Simpson providing quality depth. Having continuity in this talented and experienced offensive line is critical for a Clemson offense that is replacing so many pieces from the 2016 season.

DEFENSIVE LINE Swinney and defensive coordinator Brent Venables continue to reload at this critical position. The Tigers have one of the best defensive lines in the country and

in school history. It all starts up front with junior Christian Wilkins #42 and sophomore Dexter Lawrence #90. Wilkins represents a rare blend of size, speed, freaky athleticism, and a high football IQ. Lawrence is simply a mountain of a man, and it was clear upon his arrival last year that he would be too talented to keep off the field. At 6 foot 5 and 340 pounds, Lawrence possesses a striking amount of athleticism for someone his size. The defensive end spots will be held down by redshirt sophomore Clelin Ferrell and junior Austin Bryant. Both players were highly rated coming out of high school, and both have made significant contribu-

Clemson will roll out one of its most talented and deepest linebacker rotations in many years, despite the loss of defensive leader Ben Boulware. It starts with Kendall

Tanner Muse safety

Redshirt sophomore Tanner Muse has been a leader on the Tigers’ special teams unit, but this year he’s expected to step into the starting role at safety. Fans may recall two of Muse’s memorable plays from last season: a 64-yard pick-six against Syracuse and a partially blocked punt in the first quarter of the national championship game against Alabama. According to Christian Wilkins, teammates have noticed Muse’s hard work. Wilkins told the Gaston Gazette, “Tanner’s worked his tail off for the game to slow down for him and understand what the defense is trying to accomplish. … He’s just grinded it out, redshirted a year then helped out on special teams and did a great job with that. Now he’s ready to help us out on defense in the secondary.”

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

COVER HUNTER RENFROW

Joseph #34, who slides over to Boulware’s weak inside linebacker spot after starting at the middle inside linebacker spot last year. Filling in at middle inside linebacker will be highly touted sophomore Tre Lamar. He didn’t play as much as many people thought he would last year, mainly due to how productive Joseph turned out to be, but he was still effective when given an opportunity, notching an efficient 22 tackles in just over 100 snaps. Senior Dorian O’Daniel will round out the linebacker unit and is returning as starter at the strong outside linebacker spot. He’s made a point to focus on his coverage skills all offseason and looks to see his highest snap count yet.

or sophomore Trayvon Mullen. Edmund, fans may recall, made two game-winning plays last year against Louisville and North Carolina State. There’s no shortage of talent pushing these players. Junior Mark Fields, one of the fastest players on the team, should see his share of action on the field. Fans are excited to see true freshman AJ Terrell, who will bring a physical presence to the unit at 6 foot 2 and 190 pounds. Van Smith will start at free safety, and Tanner Muse #19 will take over at strong safety. At 6 foot 2 and 220 pounds, Muse looks like he could play linebacker. Look for Venables to deploy him in run support near the line of scrimmage.

DEFENSIVE BACK

SPECIAL TEAMS

Clemson returns two starters for their secondary in 2017. Redshirt senior Ryan Carter is one starting cornerback. He’s done nothing but improve each year and has turned into a scrappy, instinctive, and consistent player. The other corner spot will be manned by senior Marcus Edmund

The Tigers will need to improve on kickoff coverage in special teams, as they gave up a handful of big plays in that area last season. At kicker, Clemson returns twoyear starter Greg Huegel, who was second-team All-ACC and a Lou Groza Award semifinalist. He made 14 of 19 field goals last year and 71 extra points.

The Kroc Center hopes to strengthen its mission by running their own rec leagues WORDS BY VINCENT HARRIS | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

“We have to make sure we do everything as good or better than what’s been offered here over the past several years.” Zack Stoudt, league coordinator at the Kroc Center

When Joan Kroc, widow of McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc, entrusted the Salvation Army with $1.5 billion before she passed away, it was with the goal of building a series of community centers across the nation that would provide people with educational, artistic, and athletic opportunities. The Greenville chapter of the Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center has been open since 2011 and hosts a full range of athletic activities, from tennis to soccer to basketball and beyond. In the past, the league sports at Greenville’s Kroc Center were handled by outside organizations, with the center simply serving as a location. The different leagues would lease space from the center for their various sports. That has all changed now that the Kroc Center decided to run their own programs and expand their sports offerings to offer adult leagues. Under the supervision of Zack Stoudt as league coordinator, the Kroc Center has just finished their first season of soccer, kickball, basketball, and other sports, and they’re just about to launch their second. “We wanted to do something in-house,” Stoudt says. “We’ve hosted a lot of stuff for organizations around the Greenville-Spartanburg area, but we wanted to host our own leagues and grow our own brand, especially with downtown Greenville exploding the way it has over the last few years. It made sense to become more of a part of that.” Stoudt brought plenty of athletic experience to the table when he took the job, having played football at the University of Louisville and the University of Mississippi. He even has a local connection: His younger brother, Cole, was a starting quarterback at Clemson University.

“After I finished up with school, I’d been trying to find my way back into sports,” Stoudt says. “Then this opportunity came up a few months ago, and I was excited for the chance to work for an organization like the Salvation Army.” The Kroc Adult Leagues (KAL) are for men and women ages 18 and up, and those interested in participating can register on the center’s website or contact them directly by phone. In addition to their facility, the Kroc Center also handles the roster and the scheduling of league games, as well as providing the equipment and referees. “We have to make sure we do everything as good or better than what’s been offered here over the past several years,” Stoudt says. “We take on the responsibility of providing everything for the people that just want to come out and have fun up to the player that wants to compete seriously.” He adds, “So we’re taking on the responsibility of making sure that we deliver on everything else we’ve delivered on in the past. And it seemed like everyone that was involved with season one was very happy.” Ultimately, both Stoudt and Kroc Center Executive Director Steve Cook believe that the new programs they’re offering are not just part of an effort to be a bigger part of Greenville’s booming downtown area, they’re also part of the Salvation Army and the Kroc family’s original vision. “We’re merging the community together through the Salvation Army, providing a place where everyone can meet and share the goals of sports and fellowship,” Cook says. “We want to be the epicenter of fun, faith, family and friendship in Greenville.”

Fourth-grader raises funds for Meals on Wheels

From left to right: Stephen Smith, Hudson Hopper, and Mark Hopper

A 9-year-old delivered $205 in cash to Greer Community Ministries (GCM) this week so that he could help feed homebound Meals on Wheels clients. Hudson Hopper is a fourth-grader at Lyman Elementary School. Spurred on by his third-grade teacher, Emily Starkey, who challenged her students to pick a project to complete during their third-grade school year, Hopper chose Greer Meals on Wheels. His goal was to raise $100, enough to provide 25 clients with lunch at $4 per meal. To raise the money, Hopper collected aluminum cans and turned them in for cash. He exceeded his goal by collecting 6,100 cans and cash

donations throughout the year. He was familiar with the GCM program because his parents, Mark and Amanda Hopper, already supported it by delivering a Meals on Wheels route in Greer for the past two years. PARTNERSHIP

Meals on Wheels partners with the Meyer Center Meals on Wheels of Greenville and the Meyer Center for Special Children announced a new partnership. Meals on Wheels will be providing nutritious meals and healthy

snacks daily to Meyer Center students. This collaboration will provide food that is not only nutritious but also meets unique dietary needs and is easier for students with disabilities to eat. Submit community news items to community@communityjournals.com.

Toates Team

• #2 team in total residential units, South Carolina • #25 for residential units, United States • #87 for GCI, United States “We are honored to receive recognition as top-producing offices and teams within our region, which consists of very competitive markets, including Georgia, Tennessee and Texas,” said Danny Joyner, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices C. Dan Joyner, REALTORS. “The credit for our success belongs to our company’s great associates who uphold our company’s mission and deliver exceptional service to home buyers and sellers in the Upstate area.”

A common memory trick associates the number 11 with football goal posts. It’s an easy relationship to see - much like that of the Carolina Panthers and the Allen Tate Companies. This season marks the 11th year of the official partnership of the Carolina Panthers and Allen Tate. Since 2007, the Carolinas’ two “home” teams have shared achievements and challenges, rebuilding seasons and some additions to the roster. But through it all, both the Panthers and Allen Tate have carried a strong brand and a loyal following of customers and fans. “Every year, I am just so proud to have the opportunity to partner with the Panthers. They are a great organization. The franchise has been such a strong, positive addition to our exceptional quality of life in the Carolinas. It continues to generate interest from companies looking to move or expand to the area,” said Pat Riley, president and CEO, Allen Tate Companies. Later this month, Allen Tate and the Carolina Panthers will team up for the 5th annual Prowl the Den Contest, where 25 lucky fans and their three guests each will win an exclusive tailgate and tour experience at Bank of America Stadium. “I’m ready for some football,” said Riley. “I’m feeling good about what this season will bring.”

LETʼS GET READY TO TAILGATE

t is a truth universally acknowledged that here in the South, tailgating on football Saturdays is serious business. It doesn’t matter if kickoff is scheduled for noon or primetime — people start arriving in the early morning hours to set up their coveted spot. Stroll through the grounds of any major college campus on game day, and the sea of tents, flat-screen TVs and satellites, grills, and appropriately outfitted vehicles is quite a sight to behold. But whether you’re keeping it simple or going all in on your tailgating operation, there’s one element that’s going to make or break the revelry: the food. And that’s why the Greenville Journal asked some local chefs, “What would you bring to a tailgate?”

Six local chefs share their pregame recipe picks for football season

Jeff Kelly | Stella’s Southern Brasserie

“Anytime I think about tailgating, especially college football, I think of chicken wings. I am a huge fan of grilled chicken wings. Brining the wings is essential for flavor and not drying them out. The marinade will add a lot of charred aromatic flavor. The wings can be done a day or two ahead to make it quick and easy. If you don't have a grill when tailgating, then you are not doing it right.” Grilled Chicken Wings 2-3 lbs. chicken wings (from a goodquality bird)

For the brine:

Gregory McPhee | The Anchorage “Miso brings out the best in grilled items, especially vegetables. This is a really easy dish to throw together, so you can enjoy your time with friends and family instead of stressing over the food.” Miso Grilled Corn 6 ears of corn on cob ½ pound soft butter 1 tbsp. white miso 1 tbsp. gochujang (red chili paste) 1 tsp. brown sugar Fresh lime wedges Benne seeds

WORDS BY EMILY PIETRAS PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS

30 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 09.01.2017

Whip all ingredients except lime and benne seeds. Rub corn with mix and grill until smoky and charred. Garnish with benne and lime to taste.

3 cups water ¼ cup salt ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 bay leafs 1 tsp. whole black peppercorn 1 tsp. pepper flakes ¼ cup honey 4-5 cups ice

For the marinade: 1 shallot, minced 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 jalapeño, minced ½ cup cilantro, minced ¼ cup parsley, minced ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil

Add all ingredients to a pot for the brine. Bring to a boil, and turn off and pour into a container appropriate for holding hot liquids. Add ice to brine until chilled. Place wings in brine for at least four hours or preferably overnight. Mix ingredients for marinade in a bowl. Set aside or place in fridge overnight. Take chicken wings out of their brine and let dry for 20-30 minutes. Once the wings are dry, toss well with the marinade. They are ready to go on the grill.

feast Stir mixture well and place in an airtight container; refrigerate until ready to use. Olive salad will keep for several weeks refrigerated. Serve with muffuletta or as a tapenade on grilled bread, or just tossed with your favorite salad greens. New Orleans Muffuletta Sandwich

Heidi Trull | Grits and Groceries

“My pick is the New Orleans muffuletta. It’s a working man’s traditional New Orleans Italian sandwich: layers of ham, salami, mortadella, cheese, and olive salad on Italian bread. I love to take this anywhere. I make it the day before and wrap it in wax paper. I take my package to the tailgate party, hold it back for awhile, and then open the wax paper so the garlic and olive salad can be smelled by all!” Olive Salad for Muffuletta Sandwich 1¾ cup large pitted green olives, chopped 1¼ cup large pitted Kalamata olives, chopped 2 small carrots, finely chopped (about ¾ cup when chopped) 1 large or 2 small celery ribs, finely chopped (about ¾ cup when chopped) ¼ of a small cauliflower head, chopped (about ¾ cup when chopped) About ⅓ cup capers, rinsed and drained 1 small sweet red bell pepper, cored and seeded (about ¾ cup when chopped) 1 tbsp. minced garlic 2 tbsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper ½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley 2 tbsp. white vinegar 2 cups extra virgin olive oil Yields 8 cups

Combine all ingredients except the vinegar and the olive oil in a large bowl and toss together. Heat the oil and vinegar over medium high heat until mixture reaches 140 degrees. Pour mixture over vegetables and stir together. Let mixture cool to room temperature and cover. Leave at room temperature overnight.

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

Olive Salad 2 (1 lb.) loaves Italian bread or 1 loaf muffuletta bread 8 oz. thinly sliced Genoa salami 8 oz. thinly sliced cooked ham 8 oz. sliced mortadella 8 oz. sliced mozzarella cheese 8 oz. sliced provolone cheese Yields 8 portions

Slice each loaf of bread in half lengthwise, and hollow out some of the bread to make room for the filling. Spread each piece of bread with the olive salad and make sure you use some of the oil. On each bottom half of the loaves, layer half the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella, and provolone. Top with the remaining halves. Cut each sandwich loaf into quarters.

Blackberry Jalapeño Glazed St. Louis Ribs For the sauce: ½ cup white vinegar ¾ cup apple cider vinegar 2⁄3 cup ketchup ¾ cup brown sugar 12 oz. fresh South Carolina blackberries 2 jalapeños

Begin by roasting the jalapeños on the grill until evenly charred on the outside. Place jalapeños in a covered container so they are easier to peel. Once jalapeños are peeled, halve and seed them. Then combine in a saucepot with remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Puree sauce and strain to avoid seeds. For the ribs: 2 racks St. Louis-style ribs 3 cups water 1 cup dark brown sugar 12 oz. Texas Pete or Frank’s Hot Sauce 3 tsp. sea salt

First, remove the membrane from the ribs, and then cut them into four even pieces (so they fit into a slow cooker.) Mix remaining ingredients and pour over ribs in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for four to five hours, or until tender. Remove ribs from slow cooker and allow to cool (this will make them easier to handle). Brush ribs with sauce and sear on a chargrill for best results.

Bacon Maple Bourbon Chicken Wings For the sauce: 3 tbsp. of bacon drippings 1 small onion, minced ⅓ cup pure maple syrup ⅓ cup Dijon mustard ¼ cup bourbon 2 tbsp. ketchup 2 tbsp. water 1 tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce ¼ tsp. pure vanilla extract

Prepare the grill. In a charcoal grill, light your charcoal and let it get hot. The coals will turn white. Place a couple of chunks of your favorite wood right next to the charcoal. You want the wood to burn slowly; placing it directly on the coals will cause it to burn quickly, not giving you the smoke flavor you're looking for. I like to use a cherry wood for both the flavor and color it gives the wings. For the seasoning: Chicken wings ¼ cup kosher salt or coarse sea salt 2 tbsp. garlic salt 2 tbsp. mustard powder 2 tbsp. crumbled dried thyme 2 tbsp. ground black pepper 2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Greg Teal | Table 301 Catering/Soby’s on the Side

"These Blackberry Jalapeño Glazed St. Louis Ribs are always a favorite choice for a tailgate or just out on your back porch with your friends and family. Since St. Louis ribs are so meaty, I like to cut them down into one-bone portions after they’re cooked but before I grill them so they are easy to pick up and eat. Douse them in the rich blackberry barbecue sauce and give ’em a quick sear on the grill for the finishing touch. Bet you can’t keep from lickin’ your fingers."

because they almost have a built-in handle to eat with. I am a complete wuss when it comes to spice, so I have a tendency to make things sweet and flavorful. This recipe gives you an excellent-tasting wing with a small kick. Your mouth will be filled with the sweetness of the sauce, and then the distinct flavor of the bourbon hits you, followed shortly thereafter by a small bite of heat from the seasoning.”

Tiger O’Rouke | Henry’s Smokehouse

“My go-to is our awardwinning Bacon Maple Bourbon Chicken Wings. This wing recipe was developed for the Project Host barbecue competition four years ago. Personally, I love a chicken wing. They are the perfect item for a tailgate,

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle generously on the wings, coating both sides. Let the wings sit for about 10 minutes. On the grill over an indirect heat, smoke the wings. You want to create a nice color and firmness to the wing. Bring the temperature of the wings to about 145 degrees (15-20 minutes). In a fryer with your oil at 325-350 degrees, fry your wings for about six minutes or so, bringing them to 165 degrees. Pull wings and drain. Toss wings in a bowl with sauce and serve.

Eat. Sip. Listen.

feast is perfect for tailgates! Just crush up the chips, spoon the chili in the bag, and top it with all the goodies.” Brisket Chili feeds up to 10

Anthony Gray | Bacon Bros. Public House

“Here is my recipe for Brisket Chili. This is a perfect tailgating food for its rich, spicy, smoky goodness. It can be easily made ahead of time and is a great way to use leftover brisket. We typically use the burnt ends, but really any smoked meat will do. I also like the addition of hominy for texture and body. You can garnish it with whatever you can think of, but I typically use a combination of fresh jalapeño, shredded cheddar cheese, scallions, hot sauce, and sour cream. And don't forget the bags of Fritos. Fritos pie

1 stout or porter beer 2 cups diced sweet onions 2 tbsp. minced garlic 2 jalapeños, roasted and chopped (remove the seeds if you want it less spicy or add less) 2 cups hominy 6 cups canned whole tomatoes, crushed 2 quarts chicken stock 2 cups ketchup 1 tbsp. brown sugar 1 tbsp. paprika 1-2 tsp. cayenne 1 tsp. dried thyme 2 tbsp. chili powder 2 tbsp. cumin 1 tbsp. kosher salt 1 tbsp. black pepper 1 tbsp. chipotle powder 2½ lbs. chopped smoked brisket

Chop onions, garlic, and jalapeños in a food processor, and then add to a pot set over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp. of bacon grease or

cooking oil. Quickly cook, stirring so not to burn. Add tomatoes, brisket, and cook for two to three minutes. Add beer and cook until it has reduced by half, and then add the rest of the ingredients. Stir until it comes to a simmer, and then turn to low and cover. Be sure to stir every now and then to make sure it is not sticking or burning. Cook for about an hour or until it tastes good and the brisket is falling apart. Taste and adjust seasoning as you see fit. Pack it up and go. Deviled Egg Potato Salad 5 lbs. russet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into even pieces 6 hard-cooked eggs cut in half 1 ½ cups Duke’s mayonnaise ¼ cup yellow mustard 1 cup diced celery ¼ cup apple cider vinegar 4 dashes of hot sauce 2 tbsp. granulated sugar 1 tsp. dried dill ½ cup dill pickle relish ½ cup diced sweet onion ⅓ cup sliced green onions 1 pound bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled (reserve grease for your chili)

Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Gently boil the potatoes until tender, when the potatoes are tender enough to break with a fork. Strain into a colander. Don't let the potatoes cool completely, because if they are still warm when they are put into the dressing, they will absorb more flavors. While the potatoes are cooking, peel the boiled eggs and place them in a large bowl. Mash the eggs using the back of a fork or a potato masher until they are broken up. Set aside. In another bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, relish, and sugar. Stir together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the potatoes into the dressing as you work. Add the chopped eggs, along with the celery, green onions, and bacon. Mix gently but thoroughly. Cover and chill for at least four to five hours before serving. Top with smoked paprika before serving.

ALICE RATTERREE LAUNCH PARTY The lasting legacy of activist Jane Addams is captured in a new children’s picture book titled “Dangerous Jane,” written by Suzanne Slade and illustrated by Alice Ratterree. The book explores Addams’ early advocacy for the poor and her cofounding of the Hull House — a settlement house in Chicago that aimed to connect immigrant women with social and educational programs. “Dangerous Jane” also touches on her role in the peace movement during World War I. Ratterree, who lives in Greenville, will be at Fiction Addiction on Friday to celebrate the book’s release. She says that seeing the sepia-toned photographs from the Victorian Era inspired the aesthetic of the book’s illustrations.

“I wanted to choose a medium that seemed like the illustrations could’ve been created during that time, that felt true for that time,” Ratteree says. “So I picked ink and watercolor, and for the palette, I wanted things to be a little more washed out like a faded photograph.” In order to make Addams stand out on the pages, Ratterree made her clothing a rich, earthy green. That decision was made after she visited the Hull House and saw Addams’ bedroom, which was adorned with wallpaper of a similar shade. —Emily Pietras

“SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CASE OF THE CHRISTMAS GOOSE”

This is Mike Sablone’s first full season at the artistic helm of The Warehouse Theatre, and this is the first play in the season. Sablone came to Greenville from Los Angeles, where he was a production and development director for actor John Krasinski’s Sunday Night Productions. Sablone worked on two Hollywood films — the 2012 release “Promised Land,” which Krasinski co-wrote with Matt Damon, and 2016’s “The Hollars.” But Sablone, who also spent a good bit of time in New York, got his start in regional theater. “Clybourne Park” is a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play that looks at the sale of a house 50 years apart. When the house was sold at a bargain price in 1959, it brought the first black family into the neighborhood. In 2009, a young white couple that wants to raze the house and start again buys it, raising the disapproval of black residents of the soon-to-be-gentrified area. Sablone said he chose the play because it is applicable to Greenville right now.

S.C. Children’s Theatre | Dec. 1–10

Let’s face it, Christmas ‘tis not the season for originality. Yes, “A Christmas Carol,” “A Christmas Story,” and “It’s a Wonderful Life” are classics, but sometimes you just want to shake it up a little. It’s kind of like going to a familiar restaurant and ordering something other than your go-to meal. When it comes to theatrical Christmas fare, you can’t get much newer than “Santa Claus: A New Musical,” which has previously been performed only at one theater in Texas. In the musical, Santa has announced his decision to retire,

This selection is another “something new at Christmastime production,” but it has some familiar characters, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s story, “The Blue Carbuncle,” this family-friendly show takes the audience along as Homes unravels the mystery of a man who lost his hat and a goose in a late-night scuﬄe. The intrigue increases once Holmes discovers that the goose had a large blue carbuncle jewel belonging to the Countess of Morcar in its throat. The Greenville Little Theatre is known for its mysteries, and “The Christmas Goose” is the second one on the docket; Agatha Christie’s “Mousetrap” kicks off the season.

The Winter Sounds

The Winter Sounds’ Patrick Keenan on his band’s much anticipated and longgestation new album VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

About two years ago, Nashville’s The Winter Sounds announced the imminent release of their second album, “Maximum Reality.” It had taken the band, led by singer/songwriter/keyboard player Patrick Keenan, almost three years to make the record. And given the glowing, emotional mix of lush pop over a rougher, indie-rock foundation that the band had created on their debut, “Runner,” it was a highly anticipated release. But two years later, “Maximum Reality” has yet to be released. The reasons behind that are a mix of financial struggles and artistic restlessness, a conflict that many independent bands run up against when it comes to recording. “You can go for a certain kind of aesthetic, but you might be limited in what you can afford to do,” Keenan says. “In some ways, those limitations are helpful because they can make you more creative. But it’s always a balance, and sometimes the recording quality is all over the place. It can take a long time to get a high enough sound quality, depending on the money you have to put into it.” And since Keenan’s vision for The Win-

ter Sounds has always been a fairly intricate, layered kind of music, if he couldn’t afford to do it correctly, he didn’t want to carry on making “Maximum Reality” until he was able to. This December the anticipated album will finally be released, joining a few singles Keenan and company have issued since their debut. “I didn’t want to shortchange anything,” he says. “So I thought I’d just put out these singles because they’re finished and kind of try to get some press interest. You can put the stuff out, but if there isn’t a huge push or momentum, it’s not going to get beyond your core fanbase. And I want to continue to grow that fanbase. I don’t really know how I could ever sidestep doing the campaign that goes along with a release to get the music to as many people as possible.” It’s a shame that such practical matters had to enter the discussion at all, because “Maximum Reality” is a gorgeous-sounding album. It’s 10 concise, beautifully arranged tracks with tight rhythms, nakedly emotional vocals, and a shimmering mix of layered voices and synths. It somehow manages to mix the heartfelt sound of groups like Snow Patrol and Coldplay with a more playful, poppy melodic sense. It’s an impressive record, in other words, and Keenan seems a bit uncomfortable discussing his labor of love like a commodity. “I feel weird talking about the album in terms of money, because music is truly art to me,” he says. “It’s something I love and would do no matter what, but because I care about doing it, the two sides definitely belong together. You’re lucky if you have other people handling the business area.”

But the two-year gap gave Keenan time to go back and do some tinkering, and it wasn’t always a good thing. “As I would be away from the songs more, I would try to change them more,” he says. “So I would finish the songs then start to not like them and do a new version. Ultimately, I had to say, ‘I’m done. I’m sticking with these songs no matter what.’ I really had never experienced that before. I was getting worn out looking for a final version of the song, and the remakes weren’t necessarily better, just different.” As for how the songs will sound when the band plays them at Greenville’s Radio Room venue this Friday, your guess is as good as Keenan’s. The band’s touring lineup has only recently solidified. “I guess we’ll find out,” he says with a laugh. “There’s a guitar player joining us on tour that I haven’t met yet. I’m meeting him for the first time the day before we start rehearsing. But I think that will energize everyone, because it’ll be a fresh perspective.”

SIDEWALK MUSIC A new street music series enhances downtown Spartanburg’s cultural district VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Back in 2015, the South Carolina Arts Commission named the four-block area that runs from Barnet Park to the Spartanburg Community College’s downtown campus, the Grain District, and Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium a “cultural district” — and with good reason. Within that area are 21 indoor live performance venues, 43 art galleries or exhibit spaces, 38 murals or public art displays, and five museums, all hosting a total of over 1,300 events and festivals annually. The drive for the cultural district designation was largely spearheaded by the Chapman Cultural Center’s Culture Counts initiative, which began in 2013. The Chapman Cultural Center, a nonprofit partnership of seven different perform-

ing arts organizations, created Culture Counts as an effort to use the creative arts as a way to boost Spartanburg’s economy and revitalize the downtown area. And while walking through the district enjoying the galleries, arts vendors, and other cultural attractions, what could be better than a little browsing music? That’s the inspiration behind the Cultural Center’s Street Music series. Various musicians will play largely acoustic “pop-up” concerts at four different intersections within the district, with performances running Wednesday through Friday afternoons from 5–7:30 p.m. until Oct. 28. There will also be Saturday performances from 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m. “We have a lot of local musical talent in the Upstate,” says Rachel Williams, communications director of the Chapman Cultural Center. “And one of our goals at

the Cultural Center is to make sure that we’re putting musicians to work and giving them an opportunity to make a living with their artistic endeavors.” The street-corner performances so far have featured Upstate music scene veterans like Matt Fassas, April Bennett, and David Ezell. The Chapman Cultural Center has also created a registry on their website to help them seek out talent to fill the rest of the dates. “The registry also allows us to act as a referral service for local musicians,” Williams says. “We get a lot of inquiries at the

center from people looking for a jazz ensemble or a singer/songwriter for parties or events happening around town.” Many of the initial performers on the schedule, which kicked off in early August, came from the Cultural Center’s Sundays Unplugged singer/songwriter series, and not every band will fit the bill. “We want people to be able to walk from the east side to the west side of Main Street with musicians spread out so that as you walk, you’re going to hear all kinds of different music,” Williams says. “But it’s more about creating an ambience and a vibe to accompany what’s going on in downtown Spartanburg. It’s basically like getting a mini-concert every block you walk.” In other words, they don’t mind if you stop for a song or two, but the performers are meant to be part of a larger experience, so make sure to keep moving and check out all the musicians (leaving tips along the way, of course), along with the galleries and shops. “We want to elevate and enhance the experience of shopping and eating in our downtown area, but we don’t want to intrude on anything that’s already taking place,” Williams says.

According to the zoo, a portion of the proceeds will go to Maryland’s Zoo Conservation Outreach Group and its efforts to help Chilean flamingos, which face significant challenges from mining and water diversion projects in the Atacama Desert. “When we restructured our mission statement last year, we made sure that conservation became an important focus of the zoo,” said Jeff Bullock, deputy administrator at the Greenville Zoo. “Sippin’ Safari’s logo has been a Chilean flamingo for years, so it only seemed natural to donate some of the proceeds to their survival.” —Andrew Moore

We Roll Like Madmen w/ RBTS Win and Last Trip Radio Room | 110 Poinsett Highway 9 p.m. | $8, $10

Atlanta’s We Roll Like Madmen creates electronic music so lush and layered that it’s difficult to believe that there are only two people in the group. But Chris Tollack and Jordan Young are indeed the heart of WRLM, creating what they call “psychedelic dance” music. “I think that the duo thing gives us flexibility in a few ways,” Young says. “Onstage it means that we’re free to take the reins and allow the other to improvise, and in the studio, it allows us to divvy up tasks and focus more on production processes. Having to be the producers, the composers, and our own marketing and branding people, the two of us have always worked together and shared those responsibilities well.” The marketing reference is an important one, because Young and Tollack are just as conscious of their visual presentation as they are of the music, whether that means a dynamic light show or a minimal-but-arresting album-art style. “We’re very conscious of visual art mediums,” Young says. “It’s hard for a lot of artists to compete on a national level without involving the visual to accompany their music.” —Vincent Harris ness Weekend program.

In some ways, faith has always been all that gospel singer Travis Greene had to hang on to. He had to be resuscitated when he was born in 1984. When he was 4 years old, he had to be resuscitated again after a fourstory fall. And before he was 6 years old, his father died of an aneurysm. So along with his incredibly strong mother, Greene says that his unshakable faith in God was the only place he had to turn after the hardships of his youth. “You deal with the pain, you recognize the tragedy, but you don’t dwell there,” Greene says. “It’s not avoiding truth but embracing a greater reality.” Perhaps it’s that foundation that’s allowed the Grammy-nominated Greene to put his message across with such passion and skill. On his new live album, “Crossover,” Greene’s fiery delivery mixes with his anthemic, instantly memorable songs to form a joyous bond with his audience. “That’s the goal of what I do,” he says. “For the most part, my writing style leans heavily into anthems that people in big places can sing and enjoy. I want to create songs that are easily accessible but have enough content to be inspired in people’s lives.” — Vincent Harris TUE-TUE

Blacktop Mojo

3052 Howard St., Spartanburg 6 p.m. | $5 There are moments on Blacktop Mojo’s new album, “Burn the Ships,” when the Texas quintet sounds like cutting-edge hard rockers, bouncing swaggering, razor-sharp riffs off of supercharged rhythms. But there are just as many times when the band slows down to deliver an angst-ridden ballad like “Prodigal” or even a surprisingly well-done cover of Aerosmith’s early ’70s chestnut “Dream On.” Much more so than on their 2014 debut “I Am,” “Burn the Ships” is less an exercise in power as it is about mood. “It’s hard to convey an emotion without the proper mood and the proper feel,” says singer/guitarist Matt James. “And when we recorded the last one, that was our first-ever foray into the studio. We really weren’t prepared for it. Going into the second one, we were able to find a studio we liked and we knew how to get the work done when we went in.” Despite the constant touring that Blacktop Mojo has done since forming in 2012, the band still likes spending time together — a lot of time together. “We live together when we’re off the road, so we pretty much spend all of our time together, regardless,” James says with a laugh. —Vincent Harris WED
