Starting this Fall we will be creating a “Behind the Hall” blog series. This series will be an array of different photographers capturing awesome moments leading up to a performance giving you a behind the scenes look at what really goes on inside the Charleston Music Hall. Below is our first show in this new photo series from Dallas Baker & Friends’ Piccolo Spoleto: Grass in the Hall show on May 28th, 2015. Enjoy!

All photo credit to the lovely Sean Money + Elizabeth Fay. Check out their great work on their Facebook and their website.

Setlist for Piccolo’s “Grass in the Hall” show

Kickin’ back

Goofin’ around with the band

Dressing room jam session

Getting their game faces on

A little sound check and tuning of the instruments

Bring on the audience

And the show begins…

Getting the crowd riled up

Gotta keep that guitar sounding nice

Linear simplicity

It’s not bluegrass without some banjo

Watching the show from backstage

Up close and personal with Dallas himself

Fact: twinkling lights make musical experiences even better

And that’s a wrap

We’re looking forward to many more great nights like this one! Stay tuned.
