Day one was completely sold out and the eager concert-goers were chomping at the bit to get into Zac&#8217;s Southern Ground. The lines were on average 45 minutes just to get to the bag check, but the line company was enthusiast and rowdy all at 12:30 pm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/southern-ground-music-and-food-festival-day-one\/dsc_0003\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1671\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1671 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_0003.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0003\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The opening band, Jamestown Revival, did not disappoint. They kicked off the weekend with their Southern rock sound, including the\u00a0popular tune, &#8220;California (Cast Iron Soul)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/singing-girl.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2328\" src=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/singing-girl.jpg\" alt=\"singing-girl\" width=\"474\" height=\"711\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cam brought her sunny and sassy disposition with popular tunes from her first album,\u00a0<em>Untamed.\u00a0<\/em> Her energetic spirit and stage presence was perfect to follow Jamestown Revival. I got the privilege to interview Cam, so more on that later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_0030-e1461020619191.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1674 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_0030-e1461020619191-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Drake_White\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This was my first time seeing Drake White and what great a performer! You all may be familiar with his tune, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OdWXJvV-ILY\">It Feels Good<\/a>&#8220;, that has been on the radio. He even included his most recent single, &#8220;Livin&#8217; the Dream&#8221; in his setlist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/southern-ground-music-and-food-festival-day-one\/dsc_0078\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1675\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1675 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_0078.jpg\" alt=\"Michael_Franti\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Michael Franti is always a treat live. He brought several kids on stage to help him sing some of his more popular songs, like &#8220;Sound of Sunshine&#8221;. Franti is a great performer and strives to engage the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1677 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_0096-e1461021119143-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Marshall_Tucker_Band\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Marshall Tucker Band is a classic that never goes out of style. &#8220;Can&#8217;t You See&#8221;, famous 1973 single brought the crowd to a mini rambunctious riot. Hands in the air, phones recording, loud singing and dancing made it for a memorable moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1683 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_0161-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Zac_Brown_Band\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Zac Brown Band likes to push the envelope with on stage props and graphics. He opened the night with &#8220;Homegrown&#8221;, very fitting for a Charlestonian, such as myself. Brown brought out special guest, Michael Franti, for Bob Marley cover, &#8220;No Woman, No Cry&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All in all, solid first day at the ol&#8217; Southern Ground.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">M<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s first start off by saying that I&#8217;m so happy that Charleston has welcomed Zac Brown and his Southern Ground Festival into its holy city arms.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[301,612,1004,1279,2135,2373],"class_list":["post-1669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-cam","tag-drake-white-and-the-big-fire","tag-jamestown-revival","tag-marshall-tucker-band","tag-the-southern-ground-music-food-festival","tag-zac-brown-band"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
