Calling All Artists…
Here’s your chance to step out of the box and present your most creative, most interesting, most out-there art for the world to see. The first ever “Spartanburg Fringe Festival” will be June 1-29 at West Main Artists Co-op. It will be a month of unusual and unique performances, the experimental, the quirky, the not-average. Dance, theatre, music, film, comedy, spoken word, readings, solos, groups, short and long works, the undefinable. There’s even a little room for some out-of-the-ordinary visual art. This is a work in progress, so talk to us. Let us know what you want to perform or exhibit. But you must apply by April 15. All it takes is a quick email to Sandy Staggs. See details online at SpartanburgFringeFestival.com.

ABOUT GRATEFUL BROTHERS
Formed in early 2016 by Zach Thigpen and Brad Crowe, The Grateful Brothers combine the catalogs of The Allman Brothers and The Grateful Dead. Often intertwining songs through segues and transitions, they carry out the improvisational spirit of the two groups in their own space. They use the songs as more of a template rather than adhering to strict album-style covers, creating a unique, high energy, and genuine crowd experience at every performance. The six musicians making up the band have known each other and played in various outfits with one another for upwards of ten years. The camaraderie between them is obvious and the familiarity leads to the ease of musical exploration. The band consists of Zach Thigpen (guitar and vocals; Athens, GA), Brad Crowe (guitar and vocals; Greenville, SC), Adam McFarlane (keys and vocals; Greenville, SC), Jeff Holland (percussion; Greenville, SC), James Hall (drum kit and vocals; Anderson, SC), and Robbie Edwards (bass; Anderson, SC).
