East Forest + Trevor Hall

2 Trevors. One Music Farm.

Trevor Hall at The Music Farm 10/5!

The album opens with the indistinguishable voice of a child as Hall reflects on life’s mountainous ups and downs. The struggle is universal, no man woman or child escapes its grasp. It is a struggle, hardship, pain that makes you who you are.

Charleston-Based Team Launches CrowdReach App

CrowdReach is the brainchild of Trey Rust, a Mount Pleasant resident who has worked for several years in the local tech industry. Rust worked with major companies in the tech-security arena, like Blackbaud and Booz Allen Hamilton, before striking out on his own to fill the niche he sees in Charleston and ultimately the nations growing application economy—the ability for small businesses to reach their customers more easily on the web.

Experience The Broadcast at The Pour House

The Broadcast is back on tour this spring in promotion of their upcoming album From the Horizon. Their second full length LP was produced by the renowned Jim Scott – a Grammy winning producer who has worked with The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, and more. Charleston GRIT was given access to the album ahead of release and it is phenomenal. It is grander in scope than their Dodge the Arrow debut – it sounds fuller, bigger. There’s no doubt that The Broadcast has matured and expanded, but they have not lost their signature soul swagger. It’s clear that Asheville has worn off on the band – you can hear hints of Appalachia sneaking into their sound and in some songs that tendency altogether takes the reins. The result is a delicious amalgam of Folk, Americana, and Soul.

Introducing Holy City Traffic Spinner

Natural funny man Owen Compher spilled the beans last year on what it was like to drive for Uber as "Anonymous." Now, he's shedding the cloak of anonymity and revealing his own identity, as well as that of his alter-ego. Born out of equal parts shock, frustration, and disbelief behind the wheel, Owen created the personality Holy City Traffic Spinner as a comedic response to the roadways in Charleston. Buckle up, readers. He has a lot to say.
