A collection of fellow Charleston musicians helped fill out the sound and lay a foundation for a vocal delivery with the twang dial set to the sweet spot.

The original idea was to create music that complemented skateboarding video content effectively. Needless to say, it’s grown into something much bigger.

Chamomile & Whiskey call themselves a Blue Ridge Mountain rock and roll band, and there’s no point in arguing.

The latest version of the patented El Rocko metalcore mosh-a-thon is loaded with known quantities of the region’s beasts of breakdown.

Rachael Sage is a star in the small universe of cabaret indie folk.

The Little Venue That Won’t somehow scored quite a coup by landing the local appearance of emerging country-rock star and corporate-friendly personality Savannah Rae.

The newest reason to head an hour south, aside from the genuine Texas brisket or a bag of Beaver Nuggets from the new Buc-ee’s, is The Maple Street Band.

When P-Groove plays Broughton Street Bowl & Brew, expect a full-on sensory experience, complete with dazzling lights and visuals that will transform the smallish bowling alley rock club into an NHL arena.

Savannah's top MC Dope Knife is nothing short of a rap icon in the Hostess City.

Two bars, room for merch tables, seating off to the side, and a proper stage. Perfect.

Much like Savannah's disproportionately massive underground punk/metal/heavyshit scene, the Hostess City also boasts a lush country and bluegrass community.

In what’s become a yearly tradition for the Intracoastal Playboys to celebrate their birthday, as well as America’s, it’s one hell of a party in the Lincoln Park outdoor venue.

What Weedeater records cannot convey is the booze-fueled sweat, wild tempo changes from noisy snail to human blender, and Collins’ trademark Manson lamps. Few live metal experiences compare.

You know precisely what you’re getting, but you can only get it from Southern Culture on the Skids. Like Motörhead and AC/DC, any SCOTS song could be on any SCOTS album. It’s a consistency reminiscent of the dearly missed Back In the Day Bakery biscuits.

Dog Days Fest is taking over Savannah this weekend and taking over this edition of Take Five.
