The Shrimp City Report

Tanner Clay is the Director of Revenue for The Battery.  He has been with the team since 2021 working in all aspects of the front office and game day experience.  Tanner is originally for Phoenix AZ and played college soccer at The College of Charleston.

The Charleston Battery are an American professional soccer club based in Charleston, South Carolina. Founded in 1993, the team plays in the United Soccer League (USL) Championship and is the oldest continuously-operating professional soccer club in the United States.

Devin and DJ chatted with Kevin Roche of the Midnight Terrors Podcast. Midnight Terrors won the Charleston City Paper Best Podcast of Charleston for 2024.  That is a big honor.

Kevin has grown the podcast into the most notable podcast in the Lowcountry and has expanded into live shows of a variety nature. Here he discusses horror (of course), podcasting, his music and shadowcasting.

We really enjoyed this episode and learned so much.

We had a delightful and informative chat on everything about this year's award winning Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition (POSAE) with Mimi Whaley, Tate Nation and Madeline Dukes.

About the festival:

Marion Square is transformed into a beautiful open-air market as some of the finest and most creative local artists exhibit and sell their work. Stroll through the park and browse the artists’ tents as you view original oils, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, encaustics, photography, and more. With daily demonstrations and all artists on hand to personally answer questions and show their artwork, the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition offers a memorable experience and a great way to enjoy the creativity of our local visual arts community whether you’re in the market for a new acquisition, or simply window shopping.

From relatively humble beginnings growing up in East London music has enabled Pete to travel and perform extensively. Concert and guest  appearances on land have taken him all over Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. In more recent years he has carved a niche for himself being one of very few jazz musicians to reach a wider audience by performing as a Headline Guest Entertainer on luxury cruise ships; thus enabling him to travel to some far flung corners of the world… Japan, Iceland, The Falkland Islands (some six times!) and even Antarctica to name a few. His act, when on cruise ships, focuses particularly on the 'swing era'. The music and stories from that era never fail to ensure an enthralling evening's entertainment.

A darkly honest and wry singer/songwriter out of Charleston, South Carolina, Don Merckle’s songs are firmly planted among the fertile mixed traditions of American music. He is a workman's poet, capable of delivering a rock and roll growl or a quiet dose of smoky barroom introspection with equal passion. He has led the popular Appalachian/Irish outfit Loch Ness Johnny, co-fronted the rambunctious Alt-Country American Gun, and founded the jaunty Don Merckle & the Blacksmiths. In his current solo work he is leaning into more stately and thoughtful singing which highlights the darkly emotional lyrical contours that are the hallmark of his best material.
