Fairly Local is a musical outlet dedicated to Columbia, South Carolina's local music scene. Created by me, Celeste Gross, a student at the University of South Carolina, it will feature prominent and up-and-coming artists of all genres in the sphere of Columbia's local music. I will write my own reviews of featured artists in local magazines and newspapers such as the Freetimes and Daily Gamecock. These will include album reviews, song reviews, interviews, and my experiences at live shows. Live show reviews will be from every Columbia venue that I have access to, this includes: Newbrookland Tavern, The Music Farm, Although I'll be focused primarily on local musicians, I will also occasionally write about small-time touring artists coming to Columbia who are trying to get their name out there.
Being a part of my local music scene has always been incredibly important to me, so I hope to show people that supporting your local music scene can be a great experience and help them realize the importance of supporting local musicians. All great musicians started out in their local music scene! I also hope to turn people onto some great new artists that are easily accessible and can be seen right here in Columbia! Get out there people! See some shows and support your local scene!
