MORNING HEADLINES | Ten music-industry stars plus one band will be inducted 1 p.m. Sunday into the Lowcountry Music Hall of Fame during a show at Hanahan’s amphitheater.
“The Hall of Fame is about honoring the roots and people who make Charleston’s music scene what it is,” said Michael Davis, the owner of Ye Olde Music Shop and musician who founded the honors in 2015. “It’s a chance to look back, celebrate the present and inspire future generations of musicians.”
Inductees include Eddie Phillips, Tim Kerwick, Charlton Singleton, Gus Moody, James Holmes, Asher DiBernardo, John Etheridge, Rik Cribb, Ray Fischer and John Congdon as well as Hollywood Squares (Stewart Brown, Mary Martinez and Keith Bradshaw), which will perform. Fischer and Ethridge also are slated to play music.
The event, established to honor the people and organizations that have shaped the area’s musical heritage, has recognized hundreds of artists, bands and industry contributors through the years.
All are welcome to attend the three-hour afternoon celebration of area music. More info: LowCountryMusicHallofFame.com.
