Once the Students are gone and the Locals come out to play …
Recognizing the fact that Columbia and the Midlands area are so much more than a college community, Steel Hands Brewery has announced a series of free concerts at their Cayce brewery every Friday night starting June 2nd and going into August 11th.
Curated and hosted by Michael Haney, Nashville Nights will offer family friendly performances mostly by Nashville-based singer songwriters, but kicking the series off is Channing Wilson. A Georgia Boy, Wilson plans to bring his band for this special performance on June 2nd.
A singer songwriter, Wilson has performed with or written for the likes of Luke Combs, the Oak Ridge Boys, Travis Tritt, and Riley Green. His work is raw, gritty, and honest. He says he grew up listening to Waylon and Wille, and that his dad was a huge Hank Williams, Jr. fan—all of which influenced him as he was developing his chops and is still evident in his music today.
The series follows Wilson with SC native Chuck Cannon. A singer songwriter whose music ranges from country to Irish folk and many genres in between, Cannon has written for Toby Keith, John Michael Montgomery, Winonna Judd, Lonestar, Night Ranger, Sarah Buxton, his late wife Lari White, and more.
Cayce Mayor Elise Partin calls Steel Hands Brewery a “destination brewery,” saying the “musical experiences that they bring to our region is unparalleled.”
Additional artists filling out the series are Paul McDonald, Levi Lowry, Ben Donaher, Chris Canterbury, Lone Hollow and more. Check out the entire lineup with thumbnails on what to expect.
