Super Deluxe is excited to announce that we have been invited to host a weekly funk jam session at the Charleston Pour House.

Come out and enjoy some of the top lowcountry musicians sitting in with Super Deluxe and interpreting the classic funk tunes by major artists like James Brown, Kool & the Gang, Sly & the Family Stone, The Meters, Lettuce, Parliament-Funkadelic, Greyboy Allstars, Herbie Hancock, and Earth Wind & Fire.

Here are a few quotes from the article:

“It was one of those dishes where you take a bite, then pause and think, damn, this is delicious. You take two more bites and pause again and think, damn, this is really delicious.”

“This isn’t lip-service locavorism where a few ingredients from local farms are name-dropped on the menu. It’s the serious, hardcore mode where everything is made from scratch, and each and every ingredient is superbly fresh, and it shows in the resulting dishes.”

“Sometimes it’s refreshing when a place comes along and makes you rethink your convictions, and the Lot has done just that.”

The Charleston Pour House is proud to present the Charleston Pour House 10th Anniversary Week Celebration & 2nd Annual Mural Competition. The mural project is a competition for local artists to paint representational art on the outside and restaurant walls and the deck fence of the popular music venue. The week-long event will be August 27th thru September 3rd and will include live music on two stages and voting from the event attendees.

The Pour House invites proposals for a mural design to compete for three prizes, including a grand prize of $500 in cash.

Outside Walls, back deck walls, and fence of The Pour House and El Bohio building

LIVE PAINTING DATES
Painting of the mural must be completed by September 2, 2012. Live painting is required during the celebration on September 1-2, 2012, though artists will be able to start painting on Monday, August 27, 2012 (festivities for the anniversary will start on Monday also). Artists will be able to paint from 11am-11pm.

PRIZES
Artists will be selected to participate by a panel of Pour House staff. The public will vote starting on September 2nd and online the following week. Three artists will be selected as finalists.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We would like the art to be in line with The Pour House motto: love. live. music. That leaves the artwork to be just about anything – graffiti style, a color field, figures, ANYTHING. EVERYTHING. Wow us.
