Alex Butler and his band play Tin Roof at Vista on August 6th.
The energy of live music is back. To be praying. All these bands playing streaming, it was nice, but not the same.
So The State is kicking off a weekly roundup of live weekend shows in Columbia, Lexington, and the Midlands to help you get that jerk that only comes from the musical waves that overwhelm you. You might find some new music to love in this list.
