Almost Time for Hotel Carolina!

Posted on August 25, 2010 by Kristen

Just about to start the road trip from Maryland down to Isle of Palms, SC for a weekend of music on the beach. I’ve never been to Hotel Carolina but I’ve only heard good things and I’m incredibly excited at the prospect of nothing but beaches and music for an entire weekend. So many of my favorites are going to be there: Joe Firstman, Tony Lucca, Keaton Simons, Curtis Peoples, etc. etc. etc.

If you too are headed to Isle of Palms this weekend (or even if you’re not), here are some videos to get you all pumped up:

Still plenty of room at Hotel Carolina…

Hotel Carolina: From what I hear, it’s like going camping on the beach…but you know that guy/gal who’s always strumming the guitar around the campfire?…well multiply that by about 20 and make them all your very favorite singer-songwriters.

Friday August 27^th music lovers will descend upon Isle of Palms, South Carolina and make our way to the legendary Windjammer where we will spend a weekend being serenaded by the likes of Joe Firstman and Matt Duke, going to BBQs, hanging out on the beach, and participating in several artist vs. fan sporting events (flip cup anyone?).

Need any more temptation? Well, okay! Amazon.com is giving away a FREE sampler featuring the artists who will be participating in this year’s event.

Go to The Hotel Carolina website to learn even more about the event and the featured artists.

This year’s line-up is particularly exciting to me and includes several of my favorites. Looks like this:

Todd Carey
The Bridges
Curtis Peoples
Joe Firstman
Josh Hoge
Sequoyah Prep School
Tony Lucca

Jim Bianco
Jay Nash
Sun Domingo
Matt Duke
Keaton Simons
Benjy Davis Project
Ernie Halter

Convinced? Go here to get your tickets!

Even if you can’t make it to the event, you should still check out these amazing artists!

Listen! Learn! LOVE!
