Mac'n At the 'Drome: A Concert Film Experience Benefiting Mac Leaphart January 17th, 2012 Posted by Eskimo Advertising

On January 28, both local and national musicians will be sitting in for beloved singer and songwriter, Mac Leaphart, and performing his songs at The Hippodrome. Benefiting a man who has successfully made a career out of connecting with people through his music, proceeds will go to Mac in his ongoing recovery from a serious car accident and recent surgery to remove a brain tumor. A unique experience of camaraderie and good will, performances of Mac's music will be set against a visual narration of the event on the theatre screen and give life to Mac's story and his significant impact on those around him.

The concert features collaborative performances by Mark Bryan (Hootie and The Blowfish), Danielle Howle, Five Way Friday, John Wesley Satterfield, Joal Rush, Doug Jones (Craven Melon), Luke Cunningham, Greg Payne (The Piedmont Boys), Ryan Bonner, Jamie Resch with Shovels & Rope, Donnie Blackwell and more very special surprise guests. Reid Stone and Guilt Ridden Troubadour featuring members of Mac Leaphart's current band, Mac Leaphart and My Ragged Company, will act as house band and musical conductors for the night's celebration.

As doors open at 6:30 pm, acoustic music by Jim Marshall (Junkyard Angel) and a silent auction will start in the lobbies. Food concessions provided by Home Team BBQ and a full bar will run throughout the night. The concert begins at 8 p.m. in the theatre and will last until 10 pm followed by more live music by Five Way Friday and John Totaro's Classic Woodies until 12 a.m. or later. Garage parking is available as well as free parking in the open lot adjacent to the venue. Advance tickets are $17 and may be purchased online at www.charlestonhippodrome.com. Day of show tickets are $20.

Mac Leaphart is a singer/songwriter who plays a blend of country, rhythm and blues. The Charleston City Paper describes Mac as "a rowdy set, which seems to meld Gram Parsons with the 'Sticky Fingers' era Rolling Stones". Since his arrival in Charleston in 2007, Leaphart has been performing over 250 shows a year, solo and with his band, Mac Leaphart and My Ragged Company. Give Mac a listen and see why Skope Magazine says, "This guy may just single handedly save country music."

Coordinators for the event are now accepting silent auction items. To donate a gift for the silent auction, contact Sarah Jordan at sarahmariejordan@gmail.com.

Please join SOS: Share Our Suzy for its 4th Annual It’s Black and White benefit party on Saturday, January 21st from 7-11pm at Harborside East in Mount Pleasant. Surrounded by breathtaking views of the Charleston harbor, the black tie event with a nautical spin will feature live musical entertainment by Atlanta’s renowned party band, Yacht Rock Schooner, as well as amazing food by Granville’s Catering, fun adult beverages and more! Guests will also have the opportunity to learn more about the needs of breast cancer patients, ways to assist and directly impact the lives of women battling the disease in the Charleston area.

Black and White Event Chair Sidney Wagner & SOS Board Member Mason Ward at B&W 2011

Gracious sponsors make the event possible and include Roper St. Francis, RPWB, O’Brion’s Pub, Patrick J. O’Neill Plastic Surgery, Hibbits Insurance, Moultrie News, 105.5 The Bridge, News 2, The Law Office of Mark Tanenbaum, Beachside Real Estate, Skipper Law Firm, Bella Bridesmaid, Charleston Artist Collective, Granville’s, Charleston Endodontics, Lee, Eadon, Isgett, Popwell and Reardon, P.A., O’Brion’s Pub & Grille, Force Protection, Eskimo Advertising, ProLegal Copies, and Eclectic Interior Design Group. Additional sponsorship opportunities are still available for the event.

SOS helps South Carolina breast cancer patients and their families by providing assistance to ease their journey from diagnosis to recovery. Unlike other breast cancer organizations, SOS bridges the financial gap for day to day expenses that insurance does not cover. Share Our Suzy was originally started as an effort to aid local photographer Suzy McGrane who ultimately lost her battle with cancer in 2005. While in remission Suzy took over SOS to help others with cancer. The SOS Foundation continues Suzy’s mission to allow patients to focus solely on recovery and remission, not the financial stress brought on by this difficult battle.

TICKETS: Tickets: $100 at https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=b12daf. Donations are appreciated as well.
