With a variety of acts coming to venues across the Lowcountry, you can definitely count on getting your jam on – and on again. From multi-day festivals to intimate shows, the array of performers taking to the stage is sure to hold your interest and make your head nod. Prepare to be seduced by bass lines and revitalized one drumbeat at a time. Whether you crave classic rock with a side of country twang or conscious hip-hop teeming with soul, Charleston’s summer concert schedule is sure to satisfy. Riverfront Park Trondossa Music & Arts Festival - May 5 & 6 Touted as one of the most highly-anticipated new fests in the Southeast, Trondossa is headlined by jam band giant Widespread Panic . With a career that spans over three decades, these Southern rockers are known for their high-energy, sold-out shows – each mind-altering gig proving different from the last. In early May, they will be joined by country’s anti-star, Sturgill Simpson , known for his no-holds-barred tunes and outlaw attitude. Margo Price , a songstress whose tracks are just as gritty as they are graceful, is also on the lineup. Reminiscent of Waylon Jennings and Loretta Lynn, Price’s vibe is contagious. Calling back to a time when country wasn’t glossed up with pop, she’s known for her fiercely honest performances dripping in a whole lot of rodeo edge. Come see this rhinestone cowgirl belt it out with the best of ’em. Moon By Kalene McCort A Hot Lineup for Live Music 2018 Summer Concerts
