A new kind of scalping: Restaurant reservations

Charleston’s growing food scene has garnered national attention, but that isn’t always a good thing.

In big-city food meccas like New York City, Las Vegas, Paris and Tokyo, reservations at high-end restaurants are sold on thirdparty sites or social media networks for hundreds of dollars by individuals who book tables months in advance. Now, the trend has found its way here.

“I thought maybe it was just more tourists or more people coming to town, but we have more restaurants popping up all the time too, so I knew it had to be something else,” said West Ashley resident Wayne Loveless. “It’s gotten worse over the last couple years. … It’s just frustrating.”

Loveless works overseas, often traveling back and forth between his home in Charleston and the Middle East, where the majority of his clients reside.

“I come back into town every now and then … and I tend to eat out a lot when I’m in town because I want to spend some nice time with my wife,” he said. “Used to be a couple weeks out you could find a table, and now the moment reservations become available, they’re booked.”

Dozens of tables listed

As of May 23, downtown Italian restaurant Sorelle had 20 tables available on appointmenttrader.com for June 2. Bidding hovered around $115 on the popular site for purchasing reservations at highend restaurants. Appointment Trader did not respond to a request for comment as of press time.

“It reminds me a bit of Ticketmaster,” Loveless said. “The seats are sold out to these scalping companies. … Looking at how many tables are in that restaurant, about half the tables show up on these sites.

“And that’s just one platform,” he added. “And it’s true of Husk, FIG and many others. We have gatekeepers and scalpers holding reservations and just ruining a night out here. I’ve had better luck going in just to get a seat at the bar and seeing if something becomes available.”

At the time of writing, a table for six at High Cotton was being

For the next 17 days, Charleston is a global arts mecca with scores of performances and exhibitions throughout the city thanks to the world-class Spoleto Festival USA and the city of Charleston’s companion Piccolo Spoleto Festival

Throughout this cultural season that draws international acclaim, your best source of news and information is the Charleston City Paper, which will feature the reporting and insights of 10 writers covering both festivals.

The bulk of the work will come from eight arts journalism students working on their master’s degrees at Syracuse University. As in years past, they’ll offer stories on the ins and outs of festival happenings on everything from plays and opera to dance and music. They’ll be joined by City Paper arts writer Chloe Hogan and veteran local culture writer Bill Thompson , both of whom will mine their pasts to make what’s happening at the festivals relevant for readers.

sold for $195; a table for four at FIG was being sold for $95; and a table for six at Halls Chophouse had just sold for $140.

“It’s obviously frustrating for those who are trying to come in and join us for dinner and having trouble,” said Halls Chophouse front-of-house manager Miranda Kirkland.

She said it’s not something the restaurants have control over, but they do what they can, like call-in confirmations, to ensure the person who books the reservation ends up sitting at the table. She added that reservation scalping hasn’t been a hit to the restaurant’s business.

“I can’t say it’s hurting us necessarily,” Kirkland said. “We have a great number of walk-ins, so when we do have cancellations or no-shows, those tables fill up quickly.”

An unwelcome national trend

Loveless said he’s experienced similar struggles in his travels around the world, but never thought he would see it so close to home.

“It’s just a shame to see it, you know?”

“[U.S. Sen. Tim] Scott has been in Washington as a congressman and senator since 2011, but if any of the 2024 hopefuls has a Jimmy Carter-like lane to the nomination, it’s him.”

Scores of S.C. residents affected with Medicaid extension rollback

Hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians may lose access to Medicaid coverage over the next year, according to state insurance professionals.

“Out of the 1.2 million people who are covered by Medicaid right now [in South Carolina], more than 600,000 people’s coverage is going to be in jeopardy over the next 12 months,” said Shelli Quenga of Summerville, chief innovation officer for statewide social service nonprofit the Palmetto Project that helps residents navigate the insurance marketplace.

The United States government extended the ability to retain Medicaid without renewing in the traditional time period during the Covid-19 pan-

demic public emergency, which ended May 11. Now, those who benefited from extended coverage, such as pregnant women and young people, may lose their Medicaid coverage permanently or temporarily.

“There’s about 300,000 people that are going to lose coverage because they’re no longer eligible for Medicaid — primarily people over the age of 19 and women who have been pregnant sometime during the pandemic and now exceed the 12-month postpartum coverage,” Quenga told the Charleston City Paper

An additional 300,000 or more are expected to lose coverage temporarily due to failure to return a renewal form, failure to receive the form or submission of inaccurate information, she said.

South Carolina is one of the 10 states that did not extend Medicaid qualifications under the Affordable Care Act in 2022, said former S.C. Sen. Joel Lourie of Columbia, president and CEO of Lourie Life & Health, which recruits

Scott kicks off GOP presidential campaign at packed S.C. rally

After months of speculation, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., announced May 22 at his hometown alma mater, Charleston Southern University, that he is running for president of the United States. He is set to head directly to Iowa and New Hampshire, where millions of dollars worth of advertising have already been secured.

Scott focused his announcement on his own life story, rather than on politics and budgets.

“We live in the land where it is possible for a kid raised in poverty by a single mother in a small apartment to one day serve in the people’s House and maybe even the White House,” he said May 22 in prepared remarks. “This is the greatest country on God’s green Earth.”

Charleston Visitors Center bus shed.

Scott, 57, still has about $22 million left over from his Senate re-elect last year and millions more via Super PAC, giving his campaign an impressive war chest.

But despite the announcement of an exploratory committee last month, he’s still hovering just under 2% in the RealClearPolitics national polling average. And he has one of the smaller national profiles among top Republican candidates at the moment, competing for the Republican Party nomination with the likes of former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Haley.

Despite past claims that he was a very similar candidate to Trump, the senator may be trying to distance himself from the MAGA agenda, even being called Trump’s “exact opposite” by one Republican pollster.

Some Democratic groups are not buying it.

and trains insurance agents, agencies and other groups throughout the Southeast, including the Palmetto Project.

“The states that did not expand Medicaid are going to get impacted worse than those that did,” Lourie told the City Paper.

The largest groups in the Medicaid population of South Carolina are children from lower income families, seniors and women who have lower incomes or are pregnant, Lourie said.

“We’re now going back to pre-pandemic Medicaid requirements,” he said.

Lourie served in the legislature as a Democrat for 18 years, and he said one of his last attempts at passing legislation was to expand Medicaid eligibility.

Scott is the second South Carolina Republican running for president in 2024. Former Gov. Nikki Haley, who appointed Scott to the Senate when GOP U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint stepped down in mid-term in 2013, announced her presidential campaign in February at

“Tim Scott wants to govern from the ‘far, conservative right’ as a proud member of the Tea Party, and his extreme record proves it,” Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement May 22. “Even before he refused to name a policy difference with Trump, Scott was a fierce advocate of the MAGA agenda — supporting national abortion bans and championing plans to end Medicare and Social Security as we know them. As an ‘architect’ of Trump’s tax law, Scott gifted corporations billions and has

been a longtime champion of rolling back regulations on big banks.

“There’s no question that special interests are celebrating as Tim Scott throws his hat into the 2024 race for the MAGA base.”

Scott took the opportunity on stage to make opening arguments against the Biden administration and national Democrats, calling the current president “weak.”

“Under Joe Biden, we have become a nation in retreat,” Scott said. “Retreating from our heritage and our history. Retreating from personal responsibility and hard work. Retreating from strength and security. Even retreating from religious liberty and the worship of God himself.”

An underdog story

Scott made his career in politics, sitting in public office since his run for Charleston County Council in 1995. Being a Black man from the Deep South set him apart

in the Republican Party, which gave him some spotlight.

He is the only Black elected official to serve in both chambers of Congress and is the first Black Republican elected in South Carolina since 1902. He was also the first Black Republican elected to Congress from the Deep South since Reconstruction.

And after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020 sparked nationwide protest, Scott became a lone voice for police reform among his peers, calling himself the only GOP senator with experience being racially profiled.

Scott detailed his younger years as the son of a nurse’s aide who worked 16-hour days.

“It was hard work. It was not glamorous,” he said. “But those 16-hour days put food on our table. And kept our lights on. They empowered her to move her boys out of a place filled with anger into a home full of love. My mom’s work ethic taught me there is dignity in all work.”

Celebration of Reynolds’ life to

be held on May 30

Charleston Police Chief Luther Reynolds, 56, succumbed May 22 to cancer at an area hospice facility with his family by his side. A public visitation period will be May 28 in West Ashley, followed by a celebration of life service May 30 in Mount Pleasant.

“Charleston has lost not just a great police chief, but one of the finest human beings that many of us will ever know,” Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg said in a statement. “Luther Reynolds was a modern man of ancient virtues: faith, honor, courage, duty.

“But most of all, and at his very core, Luther was a man of love. He loved his family, his friends, his life. He loved this city and the brave men and women who keep it safe. He loved God, and in faithful service, he loved his neighbor.”

The Rev. Kylon Middleton, a Charleston County councilman who worked closely with Reynolds with The Illumination Project, said the chief’s death had broken his soul.

“He was a phenomenal spirit and someone who will forever hold a place in my

heart and led with faith,” Middleton said, adding that the chief jumped in immediately when he came to Charleston to work on tough problems and promote healing in a complex city.

Reynolds, an empathetic but firm leader who lost a leg last year in a battle with cancer that started in late 2021, announced May 17 that he was ending cancer treatment and entering hospice care.

In an open letter to Charlestonians, he said he hoped by sharing the news publicly, “we can also share with these other families some small measure of the love and support we’ve received over the past two years. We want them to know that in these difficult moments, they are not alone, and that our larger Charleston family prays for them as well.”

Firm, graceful leadership

Reactions to Reynolds’s death were emotional.

“My heart is absolutely broken over the loss of Chief Luther Reynolds,” said Charleston County Sheriff Kristin Graziano. “We should all be so thankful

Dozens of community leaders have drafted letters mourning the loss of Charleston Police Chief Luther Reynolds

that we grew to know this man who served the Charleston community with dignity, grace and compassion. I will miss my friend and confidant.”

One rank-and-file Charleston Police Department (CPD) officer related the

agency’s heartbreak.

“Chief Reynolds has been a shining example of what it means to be a servant leader,” the officer said. “More importantly,

he is a caring and compassionate man of faith who values others above himself.

“We at CPD are so fortunate to have been led by someone who so clearly exemplifies the values of this job. The chief’s contributions will live on through us as we work to keep our community and each other safe and well.”

North Charleston’s new police chief, Greg Gomes, also offered condolences to Reynolds’s family: “We are all better officers and people watching Chief Reynolds lead with compassion, grace and passion,” he said.

Charleston City Council member Peter Shahid recalled how Reynolds embraced a call for a racial bias audit of the department.

“The one memory that encompasses the chief’s commitment to our community was the response to the May 2020 riot, his willingness to receive criticism, learn from that experience, and impose changes to avoid another night of violence we all abhorred,” Shahid said. “The bravery he showed during his long fight with cancer set a bar for all to emulate in

“We just don’t have the votes to do it,” he said. “The governor could do this with a swipe of a pen, but we don’t have a governor who wants to do that nor the majority of the legislature that wants to do that.”

The state is currently carrying out the first round of redeterminations, Lourie said, and people could lose Medicaid coverage as early as June 1.

Band-Aid health care

“Palmetto Project believes strongly in [health care] access — for every South Carolinian to be [insured and] able to walk in the front door of a hospital,” Quenga said. “Right now, everybody in South Carolina has the ability to access health care through the emergency room. And that’s just a Band-Aid.”

Since 2010, the Palmetto Project has helped about 10,000 people secure Medicaid coverage, Quenga said. She illustrated how South Carolina’s refusal to participate in the 2022 federal Medicaid expansion affected people negatively. Quenga recently was unable to transfer

he said. “One of the best things about Charleston is you get some of the elements of the big city, but with that small-town feeling, but when this stuff starts happening, it sort of erodes away at that.”

In New York City, some sell reservations on social media sites like Reddit for more than

the face of adversity.

Joined Charleston Police Department in 2018

Reynolds, who has served as chief of the Charleston Police Department (CPD) since April 2018, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in late 2021. In February 2022, he announced his leg had been amputated at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to remove the cancer. In the weeks ahead, he underwent extensive rehabilitation but was soon back on the job.

“He understood the importance of engaging with different communities within Charleston and led by example, actively participating in school visits, antigun violence walks and various community initiatives,” said one local nonprofit, The Formation Project. “His commitment to building partnerships with fellow law enforcement agencies demonstrated his dedication to collaborative efforts in crime prevention and building trust.”

Before coming to Charleston, Reynolds served about 30 years in Maryland with

an Ohio woman’s Medicaid status to South Carolina, instead recommending a patchwork of resources such as free clinics, community health centers and prescription assistance programs.

“It’s almost a full-time job to manage all of these different pieces in order to put together some kind of [health care] access,” she said.

A lot of U.S. colleges stopped offering students coverage in 2013 when the Affordable Care Act enrollment allowed young people to remain on their parent’s coverage until turning 26 years of age, she said. Some students who are transitioning off Medicaid will not have these options if they can’t join their parents’ plans or because they are not working or not earning enough to meet the income requirements.

“If their parents had coverage, they’d be able to stay on it until they’re 26, but not everybody’s parents are offered coverage from their employer — especially in a poor state like South Carolina [with an] economy [that] runs on tourism. If a parent works at a hotel or a restaurant or as a tour operator, that business is seasonal and they can’t get insurance that way.”

Within the Medicaid system, there are coverage gaps that affect low income

the racially diverse, suburban Montgomery County Police Department, where he rose from the ranks to assistant chief. He had a bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and a master’s degree in business from Johns Hopkins University.

In his May 17 open letter, he shared how he felt about being allowed to serve as chief.

“You welcomed me and my family into this remarkable city, and with your support, we have built an even better, even stronger police department. I cannot tell you how proud I am of the men and women of the Charleston Police Department and how honored I am to have led them.”

ARRANGEMENTS: A visitation for the public will be 3-6 p.m. May 28 at McAlister-Smith Funeral and Cremation, 2501 Bees Ferry Road, Charleston. A celebration of his life will be 11 a.m.-2 p.m. May 30 at Seacoast Christian Community Church, 750 Long Point Road, Mount Pleasant.

individuals and families, Quenga said. Although it’s only a small percentage of people, those who are in the Medicaid coverage gap are individuals who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but work below the hours required by the Affordable Care Act. There is also no Medicaid coverage for generally healthy, childless adults with no or low income.

“The word ‘gap’ sounds kind of innocuous,” Quenga said. “But really, this is like a chasm. This is a place where people go to die.”

Lourie added, “Everyone knows somebody who’s going to be affected by this,” so he emphasized how important it is for the public to be aware of rollbacks.

“Our health care system operates better and more efficiently, both from a service and a cost standpoint, when more people have coverage,” he said. “This is not only an issue that affects the people who are losing coverage — it affects our state as a whole.”

Lourie said his agency can help individuals and families navigate Medicaid changes as well as the health insurance marketplace, including spreading awareness that renewal paperwork is required to be submitted this year. For more information, visit lourielifeandhealth.com or palmettoproject.org.

Blotter of the Week

$1,000. The practice had become so prevalent on one Reddit page, a pinned post explained the site’s rules for buying and selling reservations on the platform, according to a report by national food magazine Food & Wine

Similar Reddit pages are found for Chicago and Los Angeles, and the more general page r/FineDining has a weekly reservation exchange thread.

And while many social media reservation

exchanges are from folks who booked with the intent to dine but had to cancel, scalpers can take advantage and make a profit at the expense of locals just trying to get a plate from their favorite restaurant.

“It just makes you wonder,” Loveless said, “are these individuals or an organized group of people doing this? It’s downright shady and dirty, and it makes me wonder what can be done about it.”

North Charleston police on May 9 responded to a call about a man entering a store at the Tanger Outlets and leaving with an entire rack of T-shirts (rack included) valued at just under $1,000. An employee reportedly followed the man outside, but was unable to get a photo of the suspect or the vehicle he left in. The investigation is ongoing.

That’ll teach those kids to play outside! Mount Pleasant police on May 15 received a call from a group of children playing at a public pier near Kings Gate Lane after a man reportedly threatened them with a firearm because he feared the kids would vandalize the area. While the gun in question turned out to a BB gun, the man was “warned and educated” by police on “better ways to handle the situation.” No charges were filed.

How big were those coats?

A Mount Pleasant sporting goods store manager on May 15 told police that two men apparently stole $6,749 in pickleball paddles by stuffing the merchandise in their coats. With these paddles averaging at under $100 a piece, these men would have had to walk out with more than 60 paddles under their coats. Reminds us of some really bad movies.

uther Reynolds wasn’t your typical police chief. He wasn’t your typical man, either. He was an extraordinary, self-actualized, engaged leader of the Charleston Police Department whose presence is already missed.

The chief’s untimely, tragic death from a fierce 20-month battle with cancer is rocking many in power in Charleston — and rightly so. They knew his compassion, grace, firmness and dedication to law enforcement and keeping our community safe.

So in an America roiled by social and political turmoil, we wish more people here and around the country could have known the way he calmly handled challenges and opportunities thrown his way.

Just about anytime you encountered Reynolds, you’d get the “treatment” — a penetrating, full throttle focus of his attention on you. Despite his title and power, his warm, purposeful gaze magnetically pulled the two of you together, opening communication on anything from the weather to an important community issue.

One friend described the tidal pull of Reynolds’ friendly engagement like this: “I thought it was a true sign of grace,” she said. “Luther taught me it is better to lead by lifting others up than to take all of the glory yourself. He was a truly kind, compassionate man devoted to his family, his church and to his struggle with cancer which he

ultimately lost. But man, did he fight.”

Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg portrayed Reynolds as “one of the finest human beings that many of us will ever know. Luther Reynolds was a modern man of ancient virtues: faith, honor, courage, duty. But most of all, and at his very core, Luther was a man of love. He loved his family, his friends, his life. He loved this city and the brave men and women who keep it safe.”

The tributes pour in. Charleston County Sheriff Kristin Graziano said her heart was broken: “We should all be so thankful that we grew to know this man who served the Charleston community with dignity, grace and compassion. I will miss my friend and confidant.” Charleston County Councilman Kylon Middleton described Reynolds’ phenomenal, faith-forward spirit and whose death had “broken my soul.” North Charleston Police Chief Greg Gomes also highlighted the grace that poured out of Reynolds: “We are all better officers and people watching Chief Reynolds lead with compassion, grace and passion.”

In an era when public service often gets a bad rap, we’re blessed to have leaders like Luther Reynolds to guide us towards better interpersonal outcomes and better communities. Leaders across the Lowcountry should remember and emulate Reynolds’ purpose-driven leadership. Rest in peace, Luther Thomas Reynolds, 1966-2023.

Strengthen our democracy by practicing moderation

Baseball legend Yogi Berra used to say a lot of things that were a little odd and funny, but they often had little — and big — kernels of truth.

When considering what’s happening across America in politics these days, this Yogi-ism seems particularly insightful: “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”

The notion of feeling somewhere else — not the America of just a decade ago — seems to be permeating a politics where people don’t listen to or appreciate others’ perspectives. Politics has become a spectator bloodsport where liberals and conservatives seem hellbent on pursuing “my way or the highway” solutions on everything from not defaulting on the national debt or changing immigration policy to abortion and people’s rights to live like they want.

Retired Clemson economics professor Holley Ulbrich offers a new book, Passionately Moderate, that fingers the need of polarized parties and tribes to talk, engage and compromise to practice real American democracy. If people don’t negotiate, listen and compromise, the American experiment in ideas of freedom imbued in the Constitution is weakened.

“Ignoring the rights, the concerns, the needs of one individual or group by giving undue preference to others undermines faith in the democracy and paves the way for some form of autocratic rule — fascism on the right, communism on the left and ideology-free totalitarianism anywhere on the spectrum,” she writes.

Perhaps that’s why many Democrats feel like they’ve been run over by a bulldozer driven by mostly White male Republicans pushing bans on abortion. Or Republicans feel President Joe Biden is being unreasonable on not making some budget cuts (ironically made necessary by lots of Republican spending and richguy preferential treatment during the Trump era).

Part of this national political disconnect among the people is due to an increasing cynicism by many about the media. But as it diversified and traditional outlets got smaller, unsavory publishers — and some governments — worked to spread misinformation, which is straining the American democratic process.

“Information can breathe insight into a populace hungry for life, liberty and a pursuit of happiness, and this supports the idea of information being a source of power,” writes longtime Ohio journalist Tony Ganzer in a new book, Kneading Journalism.

“[But] the direct manipulation of information, and a press which might distribute it, is thus a way to foster distrust and quell tools of accountability.”

Both books deal with sadly ebbing fundamentals for a stronger democracy. Ulbrich argues individuals need to passionately engage in moderation in politics to get acceptable outcomes — maybe not the best every time, but outcomes that are good enough for now. Through reason and compromise, things can move forward, even though everybody isn’t likely to be completely satisfied.

She writes that among virtues necessary for civil society to survive are acceptance, respect, prudence, honesty, fairness, justice, engagement, generosity, patience and courage. In other words, people should act like grownups and listen. Is that too much to ask of all citizenpatriots, regardless of party or point of view?

Similarly, Ganzer pushes the media, which provide information to allow citizens to make good decisions in their democracy, to be socially responsible by sticking to news fundamentals.

“Stories are meant to be told clearly, accurately and concisely,” he wrote. “Do research. Account for cultural nuance. Consider your own bias. Confirm information: sometimes people manipulate the truth or out-right lie.”

As citizens, let’s strive to embrace moderation and compromise. As news consumers, let’s demand truth, accuracy and broader information.

Remembering when abortion wasn’t legal

There was a time abortion in the United States was not legal anywhere.

Kansas City became a hub for unwed mothers and for adoption thanks to the design back in the day of railroad infrastructure that met in the center of the country.

The story of one particular sanitarium is of most interest to me. The stories of what life was like are beyond comprehension, and only recently have been emerging. Largely, this is an ignored perspective of life before Roe v. Wade, the recently overturned 1974 federal case that made abortion legal. Why? Simply because no one still thinks about it. Instead, there are lots of assumptions of “baby mills” and black market procedures. But the truth is, the operationalization of “baby birthing centers” was a sophisticated business model. It likely was very profitable thanks to a steady supply of unwed mothers.

The Willows Maternity Sanitarium in Kansas City was one maternity hospital that operated until the 1960s.

In return for a handsome fee, unwed mothers were nurtured and cared for in a community of other unwed mothers. Secrecy, anonymity and confidentiality were part of the “all-inclusive” package price.

Records were intended to disappear forever. Consistently missing documentation of the father on publicly recorded birth certificates were sealed until only recently.

Of the approximately 35,000 babies born at the Willows, I have a relative born and adopted there, which makes it all fascinating to learn.

Her unwed mother was 20 when she boarded the train home. She was empty-handed. Beyond that, we are left with our imagination as to how she became pregnant, by choice or not. But we know this:

• She was not afforded the choice to raise her child.

• She didn’t have the right to ever learn of her child’s future.

• And how she lived with that surely terrifying and crushing decision that others made on her behalf makes one wonder.

It would haunt me forever, that’s all I know. During this year’s Mother’s Day, I honored the difficult journey of that 20-year-old young woman. I hope she knows in the life ever after that her legacy carries on in unimaginable and profound ways.

Today in South Carolina, we are on the cusp of returning to these days as state leaders — mostly male — are considering a moratorium on a woman’s physical, emotional and spiritual agency over “motherhood/pregnancy.”

The effort, if successful by the male-dominated legislature, will ban personal, family, medical and spiritual choices of women. Women are born with all their eggs, and tend to all that happens with that design. But now, maybe, a sperm fertilized egg in a South Carolinian womb will need South Carolina legislative oversight after six weeks. Really? In 2023?

A workaround effort will reflect a very big step back to a disturbing time in this country’s timeline.

The irony for me: I wouldn’t exist if abortion had been legal way back yonder. Abortion would likely have been an easier, quicker “fix” to finance than adoption.

So, I have cognitive dissonance. I birthed three baby girls in South Carolina. All were unplanned. All were blessings to our family.

I will always stand with a woman’s agency over her own body and motherhood. My days of deciding “what would I do” are over in my life. It is my daughters, nieces and all their friends that matter to me now. My Mother’s Day wish for 2023-2024? More womb representation in state elected bodies.

Director Hanna leads the festival into a new era

Spoleto Festival USA director Mena Mark Hanna has a distinct vision for the future of the festival. That vision is reflected in this year’s lineup which is characterized by reimagining, recontextualizing and reinterpreting stories that have shaped our world.

Hanna took the helm ahead of the 2022 festival as its first new general director in 35 years. He is known professionally for being outspoken about representation in opera and classical music and denouncing the colonialism of the genre. He previously served as founding dean of the BarenboimSaid Akademie in Berlin and as assistant artistic director of Houston Grand Opera.

This year’s festival brings in artists from all over the world who are deeply engaged in human expression and finding ways to interrogate some of the biggest issues affecting us today, Hanna told the Charleston City Paper.

“Be that different perspectives of what it means to be a human in different marginalized forms, or climate change. If there is an undercurrent to this year’s festival, it’s recontextualizing age-old stories,” he said.

Hanna moved to Charleston in October 2021 with wife Sarah Moriarty (the newly appointed director of the Charleston Literary Festival) after spending seven years working in Berlin

Classic stories in contemporary context

Examples include a reinterpretation of Arthur Miller’s seminal play The Crucible as told through female-led choreography performed by the Scottish Ballet. And one of Western civilization’s oldest stories, Homer’s epic The Iliad, is reimagined in a radical one-man play starring Tony Award-winner Denis O’Hare (True Blood, American Horror Story).

Drawing inspiration from the complex rhythms of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, award-winning South African choreographer Dada Masilo presents a performance of Tswana dance called The Sacrifice. Masilo is internationally renowned for reinventing iconic pieces from the Western canon that speak to Black identity and feminism.

The opera this year is another instance of redux: The existential drama Vanessa written by Spoleto’s founder Gian Carlo Menotti. He directed a 1978 performance at Spoleto Festival USA which turned out to be one of the performances that put the festival on the world map, Hanna said. Vanessa will return to Spoleto after 45 years, this time with a female director and designer.

“It’s cool to go back to a piece like that and reinterpret it through a female-led direction with Rodula Gaitanou,” said Hanna. “It’s reframing those stories, but it’s also more than that; you’re going to start seeing a kind of experimentation of form and an expansion of genre.”

Jamez McCorkle, who dazzled in the title role of Omar last festival, (the opera which recently won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize in Music) brings A Poet’s Love to the Queen Street Playhouse. The work is an interpretation of Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe, which is normally performed with a singer and a pianist playing together.

In the world premiere of A Poet’s Love, McCorkle will sing and play at the same time, “like a sort of 19th century Elton John,” Hanna said. “There’s a reason why that doesn’t really exist in the classical music world. To be able to sing and play that complex music in such an enmeshed manner is unheard of; it is pretty spectacular.”

One of the reasons why this year is unique — and this is something Hanna intended to lean into in future years — the lineup offers what he called “accessible points” which can lead viewers into some of the more bracing, inquisitive and inter rogative shows.

“You can go see Tank and the Bangas, you can go see Nickel Creek or Kishi Bashi, stuff that you may listen to on Spotify. And hopefully, that can lead you to [going to see] something that will push the boundaries a little bit.”

This year also marks the first time the fes tival will offer a “pay what you will” option, so folks can buy tickets for as low as $5. That initiative is spread out across a number of different venues and performances for the festival and is supported by an anonymous donor.

Select your Spoleto lineup

In choosing which shows you’ll attend this year, Hanna recommends seeing four shows: Two shows that you feel comfortable with and two shows that expand your artistic understanding.

“The beautiful thing about being human is that we have all of these modes of expression,” he said. “And with art, we can transcend some of the most difficult social, political and cultural disparities. Art is communal. Especially the performing arts, it is this ephemeral moment of joy, of newness, of understanding, of comprehension that you did not have before you took your seat.”

Hanna said one of the performances he’s personally most

Staff picks: Spoleto Festival USA

The Book of Life

7:30 p.m., June 1; 6 p.m., June 2; 2 p.m., June 3; 7 p.m., June 4. Festival Hall.

A Poet’s Love

5:30 p.m., May 26; 2 p.m., May 27; 4 p.m., May 29; 7 p.m., May 30. Queen Street Playhouse.

For Spoleto-goers, Hanna advises buying tickets for shows you know you’ll enjoy plus shows that will broaden your artistic appreciation

Returning to the festival after starring in last year’s opera Omar, Jamez McCorkle brings A Poet’s Love to the Queen Street Playhouse (in its first year as a Spoleto venue).

Kishi Bashi

9 p.m., June 3. College of Charleston Cistern Yard. Multi-instrumentalist Kaoru Ishibashi (a.k.a. Kishi Bashi) takes over the Cistern with his unique sound. He’s collaborated with some of the biggest names in indie music, like Regina Spektor, Sondre Lerche and of Montreal. Since going solo in 2012, Bashi has “transformed into a mad pop scientist, giving life to earworms by looping together Eastern sounds, Philip Glass improvisations and ’70s prog-rock inspiration,” according to a review by NPR.

Festival Finale featuring Tank and the Bangas

5 p.m., June 11. Firefly Distillery.

Pack a picnic, gather your blankets and head to Firefly Distillery in North Charleston for the Spoleto finale event with New Orleans R&B/soul band Tank and the Bangas, the 2017 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner and a 2022 Grammy nominee. Gates open at 5 p.m., show starts at 6 p.m.

A fireworks display will end the evening. — Chloe Hogan

excited to see is Abdullah Ibrahim, the internationally respected master musician who Nelson Mandela referred to as “South Africa’s Mozart.”

“Abdullah Ibrahim is really a senior statesman of jazz,” Hanna said. “He’s someone whose music has commented on and accompanied some of the most remarkable moments of the late 20th century. He wrote this piece called ‘Mannenberg’ which became the defining song of the anti-apartheid movement. He’s this incredible paragon of hope.

“When you think of a job like running Spoleto, I mean it’s a dream job for someone like me,” he said. “You have a checklist of people you want to see come to Spoleto and for me, he’s at the top. To see him at the Cistern under the Spanish moss at night … it’s going to be truly magical.”

Looking ahead

For the future of the festival, Hanna promises a robust development of education and engagement activities even outside of the 17-day festival period. Another important piece for Hanna is the festival’s production of new works, which he sees as a vital part of the festival’s founding vision to be a multidisciplinary playground for the arts.

“Charleston is such a unique and impor-

tant place — a place that I think encapsulates all of the challenges and the violence and the beauty of this country,” Hanna said. “To me, it’s such an exciting place to be able to create new art, to create work that provides artists a chance to really interrogate some of these big questions that we have about our society right now, as well as the broader questions about what it means to be human.”

The goal this year, and in future years, he said, is to build a festival that delivers public value the whole city can get behind and feel proud of.

“[We want Spoleto to be] a festival that is at once international and almost hyperlocal in the challenges that we try to confront and bring people together on. To me, that’s what’s so exciting about specifically Spoleto in Charleston, the opportunity to steward that cultural change here.”

Celebrate the late Geoff Nutall

Ansonborough’s Theodora Park will display a series of eight large-scale photographic prints by William Struhs May 26-June 11 in honor of Geoff Nuttall, Spoleto Festival USA’s director of chamber music who passed away last fall. Struhs, who has photographed every Spoleto Festival USA since the inaugural event in 1977, captured rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of Nutall at work and with friends. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with Spoleto Festival USA and is free and open to the public.

Gaillard highlights Southern stories, international artists

The Charleston Gaillard Center announced its largest ever season for 2023-2024, including more than 40 shows spanning dance, theater and music, plus the debut of its first in-house produced theatrical work, Finding Freedom: The Journey of Robert Smalls. This year, the Gaillard also continues to bring internationally acclaimed dance, theater and music performances and caters to an estimated 25,000 students through its educational programming.

Gaillard CEO Lissa Frenkel said she is particularly excited about the world premiere of Finding Freedom: The Journey of Robert Smalls, which aims to amplify an underrecognized and important Southern story.

“This is our first self-produced theatrical production, and we’re just really excited about this story in particular and being a home for untold stories of Southern origin,” Frenkel said. “Robert Smalls, he has such an amazing history and unfortunately, he just isn’t taught consistently in the schools. We feel like we have a unique platform to allow access to these figures and have students really engage with these histories.”

The Gaillard will cast the work this month and produce it for the stage as a pilot with the hopes of touring the show both throughout the South and potentially nationally, Frenkel said.

Though the date is yet to be announced, the Anson African Burial Memorial will also be unveiled this season. The memorial will be erected on the lawn of the Gaillard facing Anson Street to honor 36 unmarked graves of Africans, African Americans and Native Americans discovered during the renovation of the building in 2013. The Gaillard will roll out curriculum-based lesson plans for classrooms, Frenkel said, educating the next generation about this piece of Charleston history and the memorial’s larger significance to the community.

“The Gaillard is planning on opening a educational program that will allow all of the students that come to our hall to have access to the story of the 36 ancestors who were buried on our site, to the idea that there are all of these unmarked grave sites around Charleston and the history associated with slavery in our city,” Frenkel said.

“We have this beautiful artistic work done by an extraordinarily important Southern artist, Stephen Hayes. So I think talking about the making of a memorial and how significant that is will also be really important and illuminating for the kids.”

Dance, music programming at season’s forefront

In addition to producing new work, the Gaillard will this year continue an initiative to present contemporary dance to Charleston audiences. Previous seasons featured performances from the American Ballet Theatre, Dance Theatre of Harlem and Mark Morris Dance Group.

“We started a three-year dance initiative, right when I got here in the summer of 2021,” Frenkel said. “The idea was that Charleston needed a consistent space for high-quality dance throughout the year.”

This season is bookended with two works set to iconic Igor Stravinsky scores,

Catch a locally produced dance film at the Terrace

The Annex Dance Company presents a screening of its newest dance film, a PUSH and a PULL , created with producer and director Maggie Bailey. The film explores the idea of the push and pull we feel within ourselves, our relationships and all aspects of life through the cinematic lens of dance filmmaking. The premiere takes place at the Terrace Theater at 6 p.m May 31 and will include a screening and talk with the creative team. Tickets are $18 at annex-dance-company.square.site.

Calling visual artists: North Charleston mural competition

Locomotion Fitness on Spruill Avenue, with assistance from the city of North Charleston Cultural Arts Department, is hosting a public mural competition. Artists aged 18 and older are invited to submit proposals for a public art piece to be painted on Locomotion’s building. Up to eight artists will be selected and given a stipend for materials to create a 10-by-10-foot mural and compete for first, second and third place prizes. Deadline for proposals is June 11.

Spoleto’s Chamber Music series presents 37 works by 37 composers

The 2023 Spoleto Festival USA’s Bank of America Chamber Music series is a little different this year. As with past seasons, it includes a wide array of interesting and evocative pieces for solo and small ensembles.

But this year, no composer is represented more than once, ensuring something fresh and new at each performance.

(11 a.m. or 1 p.m.) across two days.

Two programs to look out for this summer are Program III and Program X, each of which celebrate early Hollywood and music by women composers.

YOU WANT TO GO

Program III (May 29 and 30) will feature pianist/composer Stephen Prutsman’s original score for Buster Keaton’s 1925 silent comedy Seven Chances, which Prutsman and five others will accompany in real time.

Showcasing 37 works by 37 composers, the 11-program series carries on the legacy of Spoleto’s late director of chamber music, Geoff Nuttall, and what Spoleto general director and CEO Mena Mark Hanna has described as Nuttall’s “wild, electrifying curatorial style.”

Each program will have two showtimes

“I like doing good quality comedies because the action is so intoxicating and really accessible,” Prutsman said. “I’ve done a few dramas and other great films, but they don’t quite take off like the mayhem and nonstop laughter that Buster Keaton provides.” He said he sprinkled plenty of musical jokes throughout the 56-minute

piece and filled the exciting final chase scene with virtuosic flute and bass solos.

“Tara Helen O’Connor is the best flute player on the planet,” he said. “I’ve worked with her so many times, and she plays the entire flute family, from bass to the piccolo. And then Tony Manzo, the bass player, is phenomenal. So I decided to write the

hardest bass and piccolo solos possible. I have the best players, so why not?”

Prutsman said the Dock Street Theatre is the ideal place to enjoy Seven Chances and the rest of the chamber music series.

The Journey of Robert Smalls

Gaillard

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

Robert Smalls was a 19th century Rosa Parks

As Northern forces fought to preserve the Union and end slavery in the mid-1800s, private companies operated racially segregated streetcars in Philadelphia. After Robert Smalls’ heroism during the Civil War, he integrated the transit system in the city of Brotherly Love.

As an enslaved man in Charleston, Smalls worked on the Planter, a Confederate steamship. On May 13, 1862, he and other enslaved crewmen on the vessel commandeered it and turned it over to the Union Navy. Smalls masqueraded as the ship’s White captain to smuggle the Planter out of the Charleston Harbor. The daring escape catapulted the Beaufort native into the annals of naval history and state and national politics.

Small’s post-war celebrity, however, didn’t earn him the right in 1864 to sit in a Philadelphia horse-drawn trolley. Black

starting with The Firebird, produced by the Nashville Ballet and accompanied by the Charleston Symphony. The season ends with The Rite of Spring, another score by Stravinsky which will be produced by Sadler’s Wells, internationally recognized dance producers out of the U.K.

“They’re working with the original Pina Bausch choreography and the company is composed entirely of African dancers from 14 different countries,” Frenkel said. “So the work takes on a special significance, both for that community and for our community as the space where a huge percentage of the enslaved Africans came in through Gadsden’s Wharf just down the street.”

For the first time this year, the Gaillard

the intimate environment,” he said. “We just feed off of each other’s warmth, energy, love and, in this case, infectious laughter.”

Also on Program III is Charles Koechlin’s “Épitaphe de Jean Harlow,” a piece dedicated to the original “Blonde Bombshell” of American cinema. O’Connor will perform with saxophonist Steven Banks and pianist Pedja Muzijevic.

Program X (June 9 and 10) features music written by women, including the classical music veteran Thea Musgrave and the emerging composer-environmentalist Gabriella Smith.

Musgrave’s piece, “Niobe,” takes after a Greek mythology character symbolizing grief. Oboist James Austin Smith performs the piece with an accompanying electronic recording that features slow tolling bells, a gong and haunting voices to represent Niobe’s slain children.

When describing the lamenting piece, Musgrave said, “It starts way high up

servants could ride with their White employers and other Black riders could stand on a platform at the front of the trolley. Smalls was arrested when he sat inside the streetcar, an action that led Smalls and others to organize a boycott. Three years later the protest opened streetcars to Black riders.

This is a little-known story in Smalls’ extraordinary life, said Charleston businessman Michael Boulware Moore, Smalls’ great-greatgrandson. “Even people who may know the basics of the story and his life and what he did don’t know this chapter of it,” he said.

Smalls entered politics after the Civil War, a time when “there was a lot to do in the country,” Moore said. “There were a lot of changes that needed to be enacted, and [he] built a reputation for sticking his neck out and making things happen.” —

will also co-produce the Lowcountry Jazz Festival under the direction of producer Tony Clarke. The performances include award-winning artists Dave Koz & Friends, Gregory Porter, Avery*Sunshine and Jonathan Butler, alongside local Grammy Award-winning ensemble Ranky Tanky featuring the Gaillard’s Artist-in-Residence Emeritus, Charlton Singleton.

The festival, which was formed in 2008, has taken place at the Gaillard since 2018 and is a fundraiser for Closing the Gap in Health Care, a nonprofit organization whose mission is decreasing health disparities and increasing health literacy.

“We’ve become very close with the producer Tony Clark and Dr. Thaddeus John Bell of Closing the Gap,” Frenkel said. “We decided that we would be stronger together in producing a really high-quality jazz

and has wonderful mourning lines going down against whirring sounds of the wind and ocean.” Even in the melody’s lowest moments, the oboe solidifies a strong presence with an edgy yet beautiful sound.

Musgrave, who is nearing her 95th birthday this month, offered the following advice to young composers like Smith: “Make friends with great performers and pick their brains mercilessly. Get to know them and write them things.”

Smith, a composer from the San Francisco Bay Area on the program, is already headed in the right direction: Violinist Benjamin Beilman, a former Curtis Institute of Music classmate of hers, will perform her commissioned piece, Sanguineum, at Spoleto.

“When he asked me to write this piece, I was delighted because he’s such an amazing player,” she said. “I wrote all these virtuosic lines that I thought would be possibly too hard, but he totally nailed it.”

“Sanguineum,” which takes its title from the scientific name for the red flowering currant, is a musical gem that reflects the

festival with nationally recognized jazz and R&B performers.”

Frenkel emphasized that the Gaillard is an acoustically magnificent space to experience music of all kinds, including concerts by leading, genre-spanning musical artists such as Grammy Award-winner and prolific blues guitarist Lyle Lovett and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Buddy Guy. For the season finale in April, the Charleston Symphony will perform David Bowie’s final album Blackstar.

The Gaillard will also host performances from Tony Award-winning Broadway musicals and actors including Jagged Little Pill, Annie, an evening with Broadway legend Patti LuPone and much more.

brilliant bursts of color like the plant’s bright pink and red petals. After working on ecosystem restorations in Seattle, Smith has spent plenty of time with her hands in the soil and her mind on the natural world in between composing works like “Sanguineum” and Lost Coast, which is her 2021 album dedicated to the climate crisis.

“I think we need every tool that’s available to us to address this issue,” she said, “and music is a really powerful one to bring people together and get them excited about being part of the movement.”

Other highlights for this year’s chamber music series include “Tenebrae” for String Quartet by Osvaldo Golijov, who once described Nuttall as his “brother in life and in music” (May 26 and 27); a George Gershwin song set featuring countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo (June 3 and 4); and György Ligeti’s Pieces for Piano Four Hands performed by Muzijevic and Inon Barnatan (June 7 and 8).

The Void tackles addiction in second play, SHIP

The Void, a six-month-old Charleston-based theater company that started last November, returns this summer with its second pop-up play. Following a sold-out run of its first show Succulents in February, The Void will take over Hed Hi Studio on upper King Street at the end of June with SHIP, written by Douglas Williams and directed by Clyde Moser.

Shannon Vogt and Brianna Morgan created The Void to tackle subversive topics through contemporary theater and highlight the voices of queer and female artists.

Succulents delivered on the company’s promise for “living-room drama” — the show was staged intimately in a black-box theater where audience members could see the actors up-close. Artistic director Shannon Vogt said the audience feedback was complimentary towards that choice.

“Succulents felt like such a success,” she said. “We did audience questionnaires and a lot of the feedback was really positive, like, ‘Hey, we never see this [kind of work] in Charleston, and it’s really cool to see.’

“With any new organization, there’s always growing pains figuring stuff out.

The last six months have been really trying to figure out how to run a nonprofit, how to fundraise, how to market, how to grant write, while also creating the kind of work that I think people want to see [and] staying true to our mission.”

Vogt’s own struggles with addiction partially pushed her to create the theater company which deals with darker topics. In SHIP, she portrays the lead character, Nell, who deals with addiction throughout the story.

“It’s about her finding herself and proving what she’s capable of when everyone sees her as this failure. I knew that I’ve always

wanted to play a character that struggled with addiction, because I think one of the saddest things is this lack of dignity that we give people that are struggling with their sobriety,” Vogt said. “A lot of times people will say awful things. … They never look at it like this person is hurting, like this person is clearly in pain and struggling.

“I think theater, especially in a very intimate, stripped-down form, is literally breathing human beings in front of you. It’s really easy to ‘other’ people when they’re not standing right in front of you. So to get to play a character and bring that humanity, that respect back to that character was so important to me.”

Vogt said she’s excited to work on this show with director Clyde Moser, a friend from time shared at the College of Charleston. The pair reconnected when they both moved back to Charleston after working in Chicago and New York, respectively.

“I trust that he’ll just do such a beautiful job with it and be so graceful with the heavier material,” she said.

In selecting the plays for the first season of pop-up performances, Vogt said The Void selected work based on three criteria: work that is contemporary, has smaller casts and is ultimately relevant to “things that we see going on right here, right now in our everyday lives.” Another consideration was to select shows that would attract non-theatergoers.

“I think part of what we want to do is put stuff in places where people aren’t really expecting it to be,” she said. “And that makes it more accessible.”

SHIP runs June 29-30 and July 1. All shows are general admission for $30 and start at 7:30 p.m. at Hed Hi Studio, 645 King St. Visit thevoidtheatre.org for more info.

Chef Marcus Shell makes waves in the culinary community

Chef Marcus Shell of 39 Rue de Jean started cooking at a young age. Despite living in Charleston for less than three years, he has already made waves as one of the few Black executive chefs in Charleston. This year, he participated in the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, Charleston Wine + Food and was named one of the 2023 South Carolina Chef Ambassadors.

When Shell was growing up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in the 1990s, his father worked as the head of the Hunger Commission for The United Way, and his mother nannied younger kids in his family so relatives could work.

She would keep house and cook daily. As the baby of the family, he said he was allowed to be a picky eater, but luckily he loved everything his mother made for him. His culinary journey started with learning to make her magically fluffy microwaved scrambled eggs for breakfast. By junior year of high school, he was a breakfast cook at a local Java Jungle — a coffee shop and breakfast and lunch eatery. He quickly fell in love with the kitchen atmosphere and making customers happy.

Eventually he moved on from the coffee shop and worked at a coveted Italian restaurant called Riccardi’s during high school. “I still crush it when I visit home,” he said. “I was a kid working

with and befriending adults. Tattoos, cuss words, heat and knives. Lunch and dinner rushes, and being taught the secrets of the food my family [and I] enjoyed as ‘special’ treats when afforded a night out.” He said he felt drawn into the industry and nostalgic about his time working at Riccardi’s.

“I vividly remember making a million meatballs one day on prep, I can taste them now. The guys jokingly said, ‘I’ll give you $20 if you drink a cup of that meatball grease.’ I was being hazed, part of me knew it, but I also knew that I was being accepted.”

He would spend most of his life in New Bedford, with the exception of attending culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and then working in Boston for a number of years. He left home in March of 2018 and landed in Greenwood, South Carolina, where he also began a journey of sobriety.

Soon he outgrew Greenwood and wanted to live closer to the ocean, as he had growing up. He was introduced to the

Rūta Smith One of this year’s S.C. Chef Ambassadors, Marcus Shell stays busy working at 39 Rue de Jean and participating in local and statewide food events, including the Burger Battle at Holy City Brewing June 3 and Gather Charleston food festival in the fall

Charleston culinary scene earlier through a mentor and from attending and working at the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, so moving to the Holy City felt natural.

After some time as the executive chef at Bistro 221 in St. George and as sous chef at 82 Queen in Charleston, Shell found himself as the executive chef at one of Charlestonians’ long-time favorites, French brasserie 39 Rue de Jean. The city’s bustling culinary scene is one of Shell’s favorite things about living and working here.

“To be honest, I’m wondering how many more restaurants we can fit into a city that isn’t getting larger geographically,” he said, laughing. “The thing that amazes me most is that with the abundance of dining destinations, it’s still so hard to get into some places. That tells me that there’s a very distinctive tier of elite experiences, and I love being part of a city that is known for the craft and what we offer.”

Besides heading the kitchen at 39 Rue de Jean, Shell keeps himself busy with events, for both work and play. “I’m currently redefining myself and discovering what I like, so things like live music, the gym, going to the pool and beach, eating out, going to movies, and recently [I] picked up reading. I feel like I’m on the verge of another evolution, and I want to lean into it. Something I’ve realized

this year is that I really want to travel abroad and experience food and culture, and Spain and France are on the top of my list.”

He has a busy schedule lined up for the rest of the year. On June 3, he’ll compete in the second annual Burger Battle at Holy City Brewing, where he won Most Creative last year. He will also attend Euphoria in Greenville, a food, beverage and music festival with the other S.C. Chef Ambassadors, and then participate at Gather Charleston, Travel + Leisure ’s premier food event that highlights the city’s best chefs and restaurants.

Through it all, Shell just wants to cook. “Cooking is a passion that allows me to be my truest self — fun, different, creative and in some moments, elegant.”

When asked about his biggest lessons from working in the food and beverage industry, he said, “Cooking is like most things — you can always improve. It’s one of the oldest crafts, and all of it is still

relevant. The biggest lesson of all, though, is that anything is possible. I say this all the time, I just try hard and stay true to myself and my relationship with food. I’m living out the life that was, at one point, a dream. A dream that through the chaos of my life that I had created, I thought was not possible.

“Anything is possible through time, dedication and most of all, willingness. Willingness to not be the smartest and most talented individual in my circle. Willingness to not be denied or give up. Above all, willingness to learn and unapologetically be myself.”

Q&A with Marcus Shell

Shell shares his top culinary picks

City Paper: What are some of your favorite things to eat off the clock? What do you eat during service/work?

Marcus Shell: Off the clock, I’m doing one of two things: I’m either bouncing around the city enjoying the amazing food it has to offer, or I’m ordering Uber Eats. I’ve gotten better about cooking/meal prepping at home occasionally, but I save the juice for Rue. While at work, it’s typically something easy, accessible and something I can eat standing up: burger and fries, pasta or grilled chicken and haricot verts.

CP: Who are some of your favorite chefs in the city? Where do you like to eat?

MS: Bob Cook at Edmund’s Oast, Derick Wade at the Darling Oyster Bar, Shaun Brian, Mark Bolchoz, Alec Gropman, Amethyst Ganaway, and Vern’s, Chubby Fish and Estadio. All these chefs have their own identities that show in their food. It’s dope to work beside them in the city.

CP: What’s currently playing in your kitchen during prep/service?

MS: The playlist in my kitchen is funny! At any given time, you’re liable to hear anything from Michael Jackson, Motown, ’90s hip-hop and R&B, trap music or Spanish music (my new guy likes older Spanish love songs).

CP: What’s the best meal you’ve eaten so far this year and where?

MS: Oooof, I eat so much and have had so many good things, it’s hard to remember the things that melted my brain. I will say that it was a little sandwich at Chubby Fish with the caviar on it, and the bone marrow with the bang bang shrimp straight slapped. I also had a wild first experience at Vern’s. I’m pretty sure if I wrote things down, I could make a twopage list bouncing around this city.

Long-awaited Ma’am Saab ready to open its doors

Ma’am Saab, the Workshop pop-up that bolted Charleston foodies in 2020 into an embrace of Pakistani cuisine, opens its long-awaited downtown brick-and-mortar restaurant May 26.

It is one of the most anticipated openings of the past year. The restaurant with a flair for spice will offer dinner service Tuesdays through Saturdays at 251 Meeting St., site of the former Jestine’s Kitchen.

“Get ready to be transported to the past, present and the future of Pakistani culture and experience and food — the sounds, the music, the textures — all of those things,” said co-owner Raheel Gauba, husband of chef and owner Maryam Ghaznavi.

For Ghaznavi, the new location of Ma’am Saab is a longtime dream and project of love that has finally come true.

“All of that love will pass into our food and the experience,” she said. “This is our food from our home for you — unaltered, unapologetic and not watered down. This has always been how much we can share from our food point of view and our culture for the city we live in.”

The new restaurant will serve as their flagship, she said.

“From a chef’s mind and food perspective, this is definitely the pinnacle that I imagined and we imagined and have talked

about,” she said. “We have finally done what we wanted to do for ourselves, our country and our cuisine.”

While Ma’am Saab was expected to open last year, the couple first developed the more casual eatery Malika Canteen in Mount Pleasant in 2021 as Charleston’s restaurant world figured out how to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. A second location opened earlier this year at the Charleston Pour House on James Island.

“It’s a milestone in our lives for Maryam to lead the effort in this restaurant,” Gauba said. He added that it was their privilege and honor to open the restaurant for the people of Charleston.

Free Will Astrology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): History tells us that Albert Einstein was a brilliant genius. After his death, the brain of the pioneer physicist was saved and studied for years in the hope of analyzing the secrets of why it produced so many great ideas. Science writer Stephen Jay Gould provided a different perspective. He said, “I am less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” I bring this to your attention, Aries, in the hope it will inspire you to pay closer attention to the unsung and underappreciated elements of your own life — both in yourself and the people around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Human life sometimes features sudden reversals of fortune that may seem almost miraculous. A twist in my own destiny is an example. As an adult, I was indigent for 18 years — the most starving artist of all the starving artists I have ever known. Then, in the course of a few months, all the years I had devoted to improving my craft as a writer paid off spectacularly. My horoscope column got widely syndicated, and I began to earn a decent wage. I predict a comparable turn of events for you in the coming months, Taurus — not necessarily in your finances, but in a pivotal area of your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I am weary of gurus who tell us the ego is bad and must be shamed. In my view, we need a strong and healthy ego to fuel our quest for meaning. In that spirit and in accordance with astrological omens, I designate June as Celebrate Your Ego Month for you Geminis. You have a mandate to unabashedly embrace the beauty of your unique self. I hope you will celebrate and flaunt your special gifts. I hope you will honor your distinctive desires as the treasures they are. You are authorized to brag more than usual!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): One study reveals that British people own a significant amount of clothing they never wear. Other research suggests that the average American woman has over a hundred items of clothing but considers just 10 percent of them to be “wearable.” If your relationship to your wardrobe is similar, Cancerian, it’s a favorable time to cull unused, unliked and unsuitable stuff. You would also benefit from a comparable approach to other areas of your life. Get rid of possessions, influences and ideas that take up space but serve no important purpose and are no longer aligned with who you really are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In July 1969, Leo astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on the moon. But he almost missed his chance. Years earlier, his original application to become part of NASA’s space exploration team arrived a week past the deadline. But Armstrong’s buddy, Dick Day, who worked at NASA, sneaked it into the pile of applications that had come in time. I foresee the possibility of you receiving comparable assistance, Leo. Tell your friends and allies to be alert for ways they might be able to help you with either straightforward or surreptitious moves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Great shearwaters are birds that travel a lot, covering 13,000 miles every year. From January to March, they breed in the South Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Africa and South America. Around May, they fly west for a while and then head north, many of them as far as Canada and Greenland. When August comes, they head east to Europe, and later they migrate south along the coast of Africa to return to their breeding grounds. I am tempted to make this globetrotting bird your spirit creature for the next 12 months. You may be more inclined than ever before to go on journeys, and I expect you will be well rewarded for your journeys. At the very least, I hope you will enjoy mind-opening voyages in your imagination.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One of the central myths of Western culture is the Holy Grail. For over 800 years, storytellers have spun legends about the search for a precious chalice with magical qualities, including the power to heal and offer eternal

youth. Sober scholars are more likely to say that the Holy Grail isn’t an actual physical object hidden away in a cave or catacomb, but a symbol of a spiritual awakening or an enlightening epiphany. For the purposes of your horoscope, I’m going to focus on the latter interpretation. I suspect you are gearing up for an encounter with a Holy Grail. Be alert! The revelations and insights and breakthroughs could come when you least expect them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): June is Dare to Diminish Your Pain Month for you Scorpios. I hope you will aggressively pursue measures to alleviate discomfort and suffering. To address the physical variety, how about acupuncture or massage? Or supplements like boswellia, turmeric, devil’s claw root, white willow bark and omega-3 fatty acids? Other ideas: sunshine, heating pad, warm baths with Epsom salts, restorative sleep and exercise that simulates natural endorphins. Please be equally dynamic in treating your emotional and spiritual pain, dear Scorpio. Spend as much money as you can afford on skillful healers. Solicit the help of empathetic friends. Pray and meditate. Seek out in activities that make you laugh.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A hungry humpback whale can hold more than 15,000 gallons of water in its mouth at once — enough to fill 400 bathtubs. In a funny way, their ability reminds me of you right now. You, too, have a huge capacity for whatever you feel like absorbing and engaging with. But I suggest you choose carefully what you want to absorb and engage with. Be open and receptive to only the most high-quality stuff that will enrich your life and provide a lot of fun. Don’t get filled up with trivia and nonsense and dross.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Funny story: A renowned Hollywood movie mogul was overheard at a dinner party regaling an aspiring actor with a long monologue about his achievements. The actor couldn’t get in a word edgewise. Finally, the mogul paused and said, “Well, enough about me. What do you think of me?” If I had been in the actor’s place, I might have said, “You, sir, are an insufferable, grandiose and boring narcissist who pathologically overestimates your own importance and has zero emotional intelligence.” The only downside to speaking my mind like that would be that the mogul might ruin my hopes of having a career in the movie business. In the coming weeks, Capricorn, I hope you will consistently find a middle ground between telling the brazen truth to those who need to hear it and protecting your precious goals and well-being.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When faced with important decisions, most of us benefit from calling on all forms of intelligence. Simply consulting our analytical mind is not sufficient. Nor is checking in with only our deep feelings. Even drawing from our spunky intuition alone is not adequate. We are most likely to get practical clarity if we access the guidance of our analytical mind, gut feelings and sparkly intuition. This is always true, but it’s extra relevant now. You need to get the full blessing of the synergistic blend. PS: Ask your body to give you a few hints, too!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Has your intuition been nudging you to revise and refine your sense of home? Have you been reorganizing the domestic vibes and bolstering your stability? I hope so. That’s what the cosmic rhythms are inviting you to do. If you have indeed responded to the call, congratulations. Buy yourself a nice homecoming present. But if you have resisted the flow of life’s guidance, please take corrective measures. Maybe start by reorganizing the décor and furniture. Clean up festering messes. Say sweet things to your housemates and family members. Manage issues that may be restricting your love of home.

The creative mentality of Tommy Brown Jr.

Charleston-born vocalist Tommy Brown

Jr. said he learned a while back that comparison is the thief of joy. As a soul and gospel singer both in and out of the church for more than two decades, he’s taken that lesson beyond stage performance and into the Holy City’s community of creatives.

With his networking and event-focused brands WeCre8 and Creation Station, Brown aims to equip other local creatives with tools for success and a network of support.

“If you’re doing what you’re doing for recognition [from] others, you’re always going to be reaching for something that’s unattainable,” Brown told the Charleston City Paper. “The satisfaction of enjoying what you’re doing for yourself is going to put you in a place where you’re more comfortable to create. And eventually, it’ll touch who it’s supposed to touch. It’s going to get to who it’s supposed to get to.”

In February, Creation Station started a series of intimate concerts with a “close-knit, small crowd” at a residence dubbed The Clubhouse located at 65 Spring St. Brown performed at the first event, followed by Charleston singersongwriter Emily Curtis in March and vocalist Lafaye earlier this week. Up next on June 12 is fellow Holy City native DJ Scrib, known for his seamless blending and varied music library. Brown said he plans to schedule spoken-word artists and improv comedy as well.

“It’s a place for the creative to really just be in their expression of the art,” he said. “I kind of want an [NPR] Tiny Desk feel. The goal is to have a physical establishment that houses everything from music to photography and videography all in one place.”

WeCre8 is an informative brand that sprang up around 2018 when Brown transitioned from working as an engineer at companies such as Mercedes and Boeing to practicing trades such as photography and consultation in addition to gigging.

“Once I realized that there were things that people were willing to pay for that I’ve been doing for free all the time,” he said. “It

opened my mind … so I took the leap. And at that time, everybody was asking me for resources. So I was like, ‘People get paid to deliver resources to people.’ So that’s how WeCre8 started out.”

Equipping creatives

WeCre8 is Brown’s informative brand that highlights what creatives are doing in the city and starts conversations around entrepreneurial arts. Currently, you can find WeCre8 on Instagram, but Brown aims to launch an app in the future as well as assemble panels of artists across mediums to share how they function as creatives.

“It’s geared to the mentality of the creative thinking that leads to the expression,” Brown said. “You’re thinking you’re crazy because you express yourself a lot differently — WeCre8 is like the level set for that. We try to relay the message that you can flourish in your creativity. That’s the brand that goes to schools and talks to kids, goes to College of Charleston and talks about how to incorporate creativity into educational curriculum to help people think out of the box.”

Brown performed at the Culture Keepers Black History Brunch in February hosted by the College of Charleston’s Avery Research Center. Tamara Butler, executive director of the Avery Research Center, said Brown is currently cooking up an exciting summer event with the center.

“Tommy’s love of music — his soul and passion — shines in every performance and

collaboration,” Butler told the City Paper. “He is also one of my favorite musicians because he is versatile. One minute he is serving as worship leader at a local church, the next day or so he’s singing Sam Cooke for an audience enjoying dinner. The same holds true for him as a creative: He likes to blend genres and create memorable experiences that both new and longtime audiences enjoy. … His performances teleport people each time.”

Brown said he wants to impress upon students of all ages they can be successful as a creative, much like they could as an engineer or educator.

“You can function well in your art,” he said. “The arts can turn into a career if you understand business acumen. These are things that we can teach kids.

“I feel like I’m one of a million people in the world that struggle with a balance — if there’s a way that I can help somebody else figure it out, then by all means, that’s what I’m here for. I really believe in ‘reach one, teach one.’ ”

As he confronts the redundancy of everyday responsibilities, Brown said he focuses on how to generate novelty and enthusiasm within that framework as a performer and entrepreneur.

“Our main consumer has to be ourselves. If we don’t love what we’re doing for us, then it’s not going to be authentic for anybody else,” he said. “The community will give you energy to keep going, but you’ve got to put the battery in your own back.”

Don’t miss a new single by Charleston artist Plaine

Charleston independent singersongwriter Chris Brown released May 19 a new chamber pop single “Somehow” under the moniker Plaine. The song, which includes a duet with his wife, was written and recorded in his home studio during the pandemic. It blends rock ‘n’ roll and classical elements and illustrates “a rather tough position I was in at the time,” Brown told the Charleston City Paper. Listen to the new release on all major streaming platforms.

Tight sound of Baxter quintet to jazz up Spoleto

If percussion is the heartbeat of a band, Quentin Baxter’s playing throbs with artistry and invention. The pulse is strong and steady, the sound as tight as, well, a drum.

Charleston’s own percussionist extraordinaire brings the Quentin Baxter Quintet to the Spoleto Festival USA for a May 27 performance at the College of Charleston’s Cistern Yard. It will mark his seventh appearance at Spoleto, this time in the company of Charlton Singleton (trumpet), Mark Sterbank (tenor sax), Demetrius Doctor (keyboards) and Rodney Jordan (bass).

show calendar & tickets at therefinerychs.com

A two-time Grammy Award-winner and four-time nominee, Baxter is, like Singleton, an alumnus of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra with a background in the form that is as broad as it is deep, combined with a love of music rooted in family and the church.

The frequent collaborators also have garnered international acclaim in recent years for their work with the Gullah-influenced band, Ranky Tanky.

As usual, Baxter is stoked.

“We will perform the music from my 2022 recording ‘Art Moves Jazz,’” said Baxter, who has been surrounded by drums since childhood. “In addition to the members of the quintet, I’ve invited very special guests Bobby Watson (alto sax), Dan Wilson (guitarist) and Gino Castillo (percussion) to join us for this event.”

Baxter said Spoleto’s Wells Fargo series has been a vital element in increasing jazz awareness since its inception.

“It’s had a key influence in terms of growing audiences by introducing and/or presenting many renowned artists and audiences to our world-class venues. This presentation is an experience that has since become the desired expectation for trusting audiences.”

One of the distinctive features of Baxter’s career is that he has combined performance with composition. While a number of drummer-composers spring to mind, among them Jack DeJohnette and John Hollenbeck, it has not been all that commonplace in years past.

“Honestly, some of my favorite composers/ arrangers are drummers,” said Baxter, the 2017 South Carolina Governor’s Award for the Arts winner and a College of Charleston Distinguished Alumnus. “In addition to the aforementioned, there’s Max Roach, Tony Williams, James Black, Jeff Watts, Lewis

Nash, Brian Blade — the list grows the more I think about it. I think it is less uncommon today than in previous years.”

Performance came first for Baxter, and he experimented with piano, bass, woodwinds and guitar before realizing percussion was his calling. But composing soon became a prospect to pursue and master.

“Composition was explored and encouraged during my studies with Dr. David Maves, Dr. William Gudger, Dr. Edward Hart, and conversations with pianist Billy Childs, saxophonist Bobby Watson and several others.”

Baxter also cut his chops under the wings of such storied regional musicians as Oscar Rivers Jr., Lonnie Hamilton III, Robert Ephraim, George Kenney, Teddy Adams and Delbert Felix.

IF YOU WANT TO GO

Quentin Baxter Quintet - 9 p.m., May 27, College of Charleston Cistern Yard. Tickets start at $25.

Apart from the obvious quality of consummate musicianship, Baxter said there is a special faculty that all the great percussionists have.

“[It’s] the ability to serve the music by effectively orchestrating the lyrics, melodies and harmonic tendencies in ways unique to their own thought processes.”

Highly active with the production company Baxter Music Enterprises, which he formed in 2004, Baxter generally divides his time between touring and producing. But his area civic and teaching involvements are never far from his mind.

A former adjunct professor of Jazz Studies at the College of Charleston, Baxter is a board member of both the Charleston Symphony and Engaging Creative Minds, and a producer of benefit concerts for the Avery Research Center, Jenkins Orphanage, the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, Spoleto Festival USA and other arts organizations. He also continues to serve as musical director of the Charleston Jazz Initiative, an ongoing research project exploring jazz history and the legacy of African American musicians from Charleston and the Carolinas.

The question is, how does he manage it all? The Quintet and Ranky Tanky alone would be more than enough for most folks to handle.

“Yes, there’s the time management juggle, but it comes with the territory,” Baxter said.

“I strongly believe in the path[s] of research and hard, effective work to manifest ideas in performance, production and growth. At the same time, trying to do too many things is not sustainable. Every time I get on stage I want it to be the best I have to offer.”
