Local Acts Roll at ‘Live at the Alley’
Downtown bowling room and nightclub hotspot Alley Charleston (131 Columbus St.) has hosted a number of special events, dance night, and live concerts over the last year or so. This month, they kicked off a new weekly music series called “Live at the Alley,” which will feature a variety of Charleston-based bands and songwriters every Thursday night through the winter.
Local songsmith and bandleader Tyler Boone and his crew kicked things off at the Alley on Jan. 23. Sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon (that classic American lager from Milwaukee), the series continues every Thursday at 9 p.m.
On Jan. 30, super-tight rock/funk quartet Old You — singer/guitarist named Young-Mi Feldsott, drummer John Pope, bassist Paul San Luis, and lead guitarist Caleb Bodtorf — will headline “Live at the Alley” with a few clever renditions and a slew of originals from their brand-new, independently released collection Whale Noises.
Upcoming shows will include performances by roots-rock band Gaslight Street on Feb. 6, rock/reggae groove trio Sun-Dried Vibes on Feb. 13, folk-rocker Tom Mackell and friends on Feb. 20, and a funk/rock/soul double bill of the Hot at Nights and SHONUFF on Feb. 27. The shows are free and the PBR is nicely priced at $2 for a cold tall boy.
