What’s the Weather Like?

But before we get into the music, let’s talk about the weather! Expect a delightful drop in cloudiness this month with a high of around 85°F during the day and a low of 71°F at night. The winds will be strong, blowing from the south-southwest at about 25 to 40 mph. There’s a slight chance of a rain shower, but that shouldn’t dampen your spirits as you enjoy these outdoor shows!

A Month Full of Music

This month’s calendar is packed! Let’s dive into some highlights:

Kick Things Off with Ray LaMontagne

On October 1st, Ray LaMontagne will take the stage alongside Gregory Alan Isakov at Firefly Distillery. It’s an outdoor concert you won’t want to miss, especially if you’ve been serenaded by hits like “You Are The Best Thing” or “Dandelion Wine.”

Local Favorites Revisit the Stage

Just a few days later, Shovels & Rope, the beloved duo made up of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, will perform not once but twice at The Music Farm on October 3rd and 4th. They’re promoting their new album, Something Is Working Up Above My Head, which they’ve crafted with a raw, live-performance vibe in mind.

Celebrating Hip-Hop History

Mark your calendars for October 5th, when Juvenile, the rapper from the iconic Cash Money Records, performs at Firefly. This year marks the 25th anniversary of his hit “Back That Azz Up,” so bring your best dance moves!

The Motown Sound Returns

If classic Motown is more your style, head to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center on October 16th to catch a double feature with The Temptations and The Four Tops. With timeless classics like “My Girl” and “Baby I Need Your Loving,” you’re bound to sing along!

Music and Good Vibes
