who goes out on sunday?

well, in charleston, people go out just about every night of the week. and sunday is no exception. in the past i would have recommended hitting chai's (462 king st.) to hear kevin hackler and friends. however, thanks to t. ballard lesemann's reporting, i recently learned that this weekly gig is no longer weekly. you can still catch the trumpet stylings of hackler at mercato (102 N. market st.) on fridays and at high cotton (199 east bay st.) on wednesdays and thursdays.

for a more relaxed sunday jam session filled with rock, pop and the occasional dj, be sure to check out whitt algar (keys & guitar) and friends at the village tavern (1055 johnnie dodds blvd., mt. pleasant). lots of catchy originals interspersed with a range of recognizable covers from the likes of ben folds to eric clapton. sit-ins are welcome. bring your own gear and your a-game. you'll need it with john picard behind the drum kit.
