Thursday, June 12, 12 00 a.m.

For most bands, first and foremost, it's about getting out there and playing live. Which is why, during his short albeit heralded career, Marc Broussard has worked hard to establish himself as a live performer. His music is an amalgamation of funk and blues, as well as rock and R&B;, along with a flair for feeling his Southern roots.

Thursday, June 12, 12 00 a.m.

I am a child of the '80s. I was there as a teenager to witness the birth of the age of the music video, and saw acts such as Duran Duran, Billy Idol and Madonna shoot to stardom on the merits of the bands' respective clips on MTV.

Louisiana pop-rock band brings high energy to the Isle of Palms

Thursday, June 5, 12 00 a.m.

Lowcountry native musician just 'Flew South' with band

Thursday, June 5, 12 00 a.m.

All too often we see stars in the music world that have been seemingly plucked out of obscurity and placed lovingly in the fabled catbird seat. I'm talking about the American Idols, the Britney Spears, and the other folks that rely more on looks and luck than actual talent. Just so you know, there are indeed still people out there who work hard and stick to their dreams through thick and thin, hoping for that one big break.

For the guys in Sister Hazel, the band's unyielding accessibility over their decade-plus career has translated into loyalty. Check that. Fans of the five-piece — Ken Block, Drew Copeland, Ryan Newell, Jett Beres and Mark Trojanowski — of Gainesville, Fla., are extraordinarily ...

When I headed out to the Windjammer on Sunday night, it was to relax and have a couple of beverages with friends to enjoy the Memorial Day weekend. I had heard things about the headliner that night, the Zac Brown Band, but I had not had the chance to check out Brown and his fellow musicians. At the end of the night, I have to admit that I walked out of the 'Jammer as a new admirer of Brown's music.
