✨ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ✨ P O R C H • D O G Porch Dog was where it all started for Dalton Massey and Tradd Makar back in 2020. Playing house shows and porch gigs around Charleston during lockdown, the band quickly became a favorite in the local scene. Fronted by Dalton Massey—a guy who grew up on Folly Beach—Porch Dog brought that raw, homegrown Lowcountry energy that connected with people right away. From those early porch sessions, Tradd’s love for the water and the working harbor life shaped his next chapter. After spending a year as a tugboat deckhand in Charleston Harbor, he stepped out front as Tugboat Tradd, leading Tugboat Tradd & The Deckhands Band. These days, Tradd and Dalton often team up, blending the soul of Porch Dog with the full-band drive of The Deckhands. You’ll catch them tearing it up at local spots like the Pour House, Windjammer, and Music Farm, plus college parties and festivals across the region. Whether it’s a stripped-down Porch Dog set or the full Tugboat Tradd & The Deckhands experience, they keep the focus on original music and that authentic Lowcountry sound. 📸 @morganmarcozzi

✨ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ✨ M A R Y • F R A N C E Mary France is a Charleston-based Americana artist blending Ozark mountain blues, bluegrass, and smoky jazz into a sound that’s both grounded and quietly powerful. Known for her deep, warm vocal tone, her music draws listeners in with a front-porch intimacy and emotional depth. Her songwriting is rooted in lived experience—shaped by rural summers, late-night conversations, and the loss of loved ones—giving her sound a “porch croon’” feel with a haunting yet hopeful edge. Writing is her way of processing and translating emotion, resulting in songs that feel honest, raw, and deeply human. Inspired by artists like Brandi Carlile, Tyler Childers, and Sheryl Crow, Mary France delivers sets that connect—whether in an intimate room or on a larger stage. 📸 @morganmarcozzi

✨ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ✨ D U S T Y • M C F A L L S A bespoke singer songwriter for over 10 years, Dusty is known for his heartfelt lyrics and smooth, soulful melodies. With a passion for crafting original songs, he brings a unique blend of emotion and storytelling. Originally from Greenville, his acoustic sound has resonated in Charleston, earning recognition for his raw, authenticity. He came, drank a few beers, and sang a hell of a set. Check him out at an upcoming show soon! 📸 @morganmarcozzi

✨ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ✨ G R A C E • M I L L E R • M O O D Y Grace Miller Moody is a soulful singer-songwriter with a smoky, unmistakable voice and a presence that makes you lean in. Often compared to Amy Winehouse for her jazzy tone and raw delivery, she blends retro soul with a modern, self-assured edge. Originally from Florence, she began performing in Charleston bars in 2024, quickly building a following drawn to her emotion and command on stage. Everything shifted on The Voice Season 27. Her performance of Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 earned a rare four-chair turn, including Adam Levine, and changed her trajectory overnight. Before that moment, pursuing music full-time wasn’t even the plan. After it, there was no turning back. Now, Grace Miller Moody creates music rooted in honesty, confidence, and presence. Songs that don’t ask for attention, they take it. Check out her latest single “Outta Your League”, a celebration of natural confidence and undeniable IT GIRL energy. 📸 @jeangilles.photography
