Festival of Discovery Closing Concert– Starring Jimmy Hall!
July 13 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Join us at the Main Stage (Uptown Fountain Parking Lot) as we close out the 2024 SC Festival of Discovery with a concert starring none other than Grammy award winning Jimmy Hall!
Jimmy Hall first gained popularity as the lead vocalist, saxophonist, and harmonica player for the band Wet Willie, emerging from Mobile, Alabama. His unique brand of R&B-infused rock and roll and onstage swagger propelled the group’s signature song Keep on Smilin’ to the Top 10 on the Billboard singles chart in 1974.
After seven albums with Capricorn Records, Wet Willie moved forward to Epic Records releasing the singles Street Corner Serenade and Weekend. Both singles hit the US Top 40 and five other songs were placed in the Billboard Top 100.
Following these successes, the label approached Jimmy to record two solo albums in the 80s. I’m Happy That Love Has Found You was the first single and led to his appearances on pop culture TV staples of the Rock era such as American Bandstand, The Midnight Special, Solid Gold, and other musical variety series.
His songs have been recorded by Gregg Allman, Jason Isbell, The Marshall Tucker Band, Blackberry Smoke, The Amazing Rhythm Aces, Johnny Russell, and many others. Additionally, Jimmy has been a vocalist and bandleader for Hank Williams, Jr. since 1992.
Over the years, Jimmy has been involved in other musical endeavors including The Nighthawks, BHLT (Betts, Hall Leavell, and Trucks), the Gregg Allman Band, and has appeared as a featured guest artist with multiple groups.
We are excited to have Greenwood’s own KRAWfish opening for Jimmy and his band.
