I forgot to post this last week, but Congratulations to The Lyons brothers at New Brookland Tavern for 4 years as NBT owners.
Free Times did a great article about them here.
So many local bands owe their start to New Brookland Tavern and I don’t think they all fully appreciate the venue as much as I do. So if you’re in a band support NBT any way you can. Make sure to go to other bands shows and work hard to promote your own shows. I know from personal experience, if you bring people to shows they will put you on a bill with a big band. What other way would I have gotten to open up for The Juliana Theory?? And not in that ‘hey we played a festival once with a big band’.
Oh yeah and what other venue can Festus The White Trash Band from Blue Ridge, SC open up for Emery, Hawthorne Heights and From First to Last??? I love my cousins.
It was also Charleston Pour House’s Third Year Anniversary.
I don’t have the same relationship with them, so no stories yet. Hopefully I can make it to Charleston more than once every 3 months and make some memories.
But Congratulations and here’s to the next 3 and 4 years!
