Our Favorite Charity is The Music Battery:
The Music Battery after-school program operates Monday-Friday from 4:30-7pm at the Ferndale Community Center in North Charleston, SC.
The program begins with tutoring to complete each student's homework assignments from school. Upon completion, students migrate to the practice room where they warm up with calisthenics and marching drills. Students are given instruction in rhythm and music and each are assigned to a section in the drumline. Each student is taught how to care for and play their instrument and taught the discipline and responsibility required to participate in a drum unit. A gospel choir and dance unit are also part of the program curriculum.

Check Out The Holy City's NEW Online Music Venue:
Black Tie Bands is a non-profit film project dedicated to creating an online outlet for local musicians to showcase their talents. We broadcast a series of organically improvised acoustic sessions that feature artists stripped down and in their natural element; utilizing Charleston's beautiful backdrop as our locations.
The videos presented on our site are produced under the philosophy of free-creative collaboration, offering our services to musicians for no charge, and working together to make our names synonymous with that of Charleston. With these personal concerts broadcasting to our audience's digital devices, we strive to illustrate the beauty of our city through the creative union of artists, their music, and a camera.
