Greenville Scene Closing
August 22, 2008 at 11:00 am | In Blog | 3 CommentsAfter a year and four months of reporting on Greenville’s music scene, I will no longer operate the website as of 8/25/08. The site will remain at this address until 11/9/08 at which point I may decide to just keep it as a wordpress blog – or not. I’ll let you know.
Greenville Scene was a great idea but, I don’t personally have time for it anymore. The reason I started the website in the first place was to help Greenville’s fledgling music scene to realize its enormous potential. I hope that others will take it upon themselves to do the same. We already have several community members doing just that – Gene at Horizon Records, John at the Handlebar, the staff at Earshot, and the smaller venues in town who are really trying.
Finally, I just wanted to mention a few bands that I think are making a difference in our scene and would be worth your time to see: William F. Gibbs, Andy Lehman, Wasted Wine, The Winter Sounds, Civil Twilight, Brandy Lindsey & the Punch, The Gentle Suit, Backseat Dreamer, and Noel Thrasher.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has ever helped with Greenville Scene- especially Keith and Angel.
Cheers,
Michelle

I’m really sorry to hear that your closing. This website is really one of the reasons I started my music blog http://www.sceneSC.com 3 months ago. As you can see we are wordpress based blog also sharing a lot of the same features as you do. I’ll do everything I can to help promote bands and musicians and art in the Greenville area as I am from there and hope to move back there someday.
We were at The Channel Saturday night for Read in Response and it is one of the nicest venues to listen to music in SC. I have also talked to a couple of guys that are working with Gypsy G’s to help make them a better venue for bands to play. I really hope that the music scene in Greenville is starting to look up.
Sincerely, David
Scene SC

Thanks for the comment David. I’m glad to see you’ve started a similar website. I do wish Greenville Scene could continue but for several reasons I just can’t do it anymore. I hope everything goes well with your site. Thanks, Michelle
