While driving home to Virginia this Friday, I learned I would be leaving the ranks of the unemployed nine days later. In the midst of my excitement, I realized I had the perfect opportunity for one last blowout as a slacker – a weeklong road trip up north to visit friends, eat delicious sandwiches, drink [...]
Facebook Event Harps, the new project from ex Marry a Thief drummer Colin Brown is an interesting all around project. A mix of the songwriting ability of Brown, mixed with the production aspects of Aaron Robertson and the input of a handful of other musicians in the studio, their sound can most easily be described [...]
After filming an acoustic session with Valley Maker (Austin Crane, Amy Godwin) we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to film a solo one with Amy Godwin. She was after-all opening the show that night. As people started to line up outside we filmed this minutes before the doors opened. Soon after Godwin took the stage [...]
By Terrence Richard of Junior Astronomers Right now I’m tucked away in the van driving what to me seemed to be a Tornado in Florida. Its been some time since we left Austin but it feels like only yesterday I was hungry and sweaty all over. Searching for free booze and new tunes. This is [...]
By Alexis Schwallier: Red isn’t just the name of Taylor Swift’s latest album, or her sold out tour. From red lipstick, sparkly red shoes, and a fire-red guitar, it was obvious the color was the theme of the night. Coincidence? I think not. Everyone can relate to songs about love, heartbreak, and the struggles [...]

Alexis Schwallier shot two shows for us last week, one being this one and one being the Taylor Swift show Saturday at Colonial Life Arena. She did a fantastic job with both of them. Tweet
While there weren’t many South Carolina bands represented on official stages at S0uth by Southwest this year, it didn’t stop a handful of Columbia bands from playing the festival unofficially. Shot at the Vulcan Army/Post Echo/Stereofly Collective Showcase, here is a video of Dear Blanca playing “Havana Tonight” the first single off their newest release [...]
Facebook Event Monday nights are usually reserved for lying around on the couch being a total bum, but Family of the Year and The Mowgli’s might change that next week. Family of the Year is out on tour with their new album Loma Vista gradually growing in popularity with each new tour date. Around here [...]

Brandon Kean had always written an occasional song on acoustic guitar, or played a solo acoustic show for fun now and then, but it wasn’t until a year ago that he stepped out on a limb to try to take his songs to the next level. After recording “On and On”, a song which was [...]
Facebook Event One of the first steps for local bands to start playing shows out of their hometown is meeting the right people and bands to get that done. It can be a really frustrating thing to book worthwhile shows on your own, so it helps to find someone else that believes in your music [...]
Fork and Spoon The Lovely FewHearts and Plugs We’re huge fans of Fork and Spoon records here at SceneSC and their new Casual Friday series, so we decided to see how it was done and film a low key acoustic session with this weeks featured artist The Lovely Few. Why is it called Casual [...]
Saturday at Savannah Stopover started out with a rehashing/learning how the previous night’s escapades unfolded. After being generally unpleased with myself, I was able to shrug off my disappointment and embrace the sunshine and low-70-degree temperatures outside. It was a new day and there were new bands and venues to discover. Since the music didn’t start [...]
I generally try and avoid situations where I’m pulling double duty as a press member and artist at a show/event, but David’s offer for me to cover the Savannah Stopover Festival after I finished playing seemed too good to pass up. My only previous experiences in Savannah were both negative, so the lure of press [...]
We decided to ease into Day 1 of the Music portion of SXSW, but we probably went a little harder than originally planned. After checking in and getting all our credentials, we set out to find some free drinks and food before the night started. We wound up at a boathouse at the Tumblr + [...]
