‘More than a cover-song town’: Myrtle Beach Songwriters Festival puts original music center stage

MYRTLE BEACH — "Margaritaville!" "Don't Stop Believin'!" "Wagon Wheel!" For many Grand Strand area musicians, that's the feedback they hear from playing gigs in a tourist town. Murrells Inlet-based songwriter Melissa Joiner aims to change that by creating the inaugural Myrtle Beach Songwriters Festival. "For the past 13 years touring full-time and playing in these great festivals in other states and overseas, I've always wondered why we don't have one in Myrtle Beach," Joiner said. "We have so many amazing musicians and songwriters here without a platform to show what they can do. We want to p...

29th Annual Waccamaw Arts & Crafts Guild Juried Art Exhibition

The Art Museum was conceived by a small but visionary group of local art enthusiasts, among them a group of artists formed in the late 1960s called the Waccamaw Arts & Crafts Guild. Beginning in the spring of 1969, a pattern of art exhibitions was established that continues today. To honor the integral role that the Guild played in the Museum’s establishment, the Museum proudly hosts the Guild’s annual juried art exhibition. A diverse array of media in both two and three-dimension, all completed by local artists within the past two years, will be exhibited and judged for awards by painter and art educator Maura H.

Native activist Timothy Jacobs, who took NC newspaper hostage in 1988, dies

Timothy Jacobs, the Native American activist who held The Robesonian newspaper staff hostage in 1988, an act he and fellow Tuscarora Eddie Hatcher committed to expose corruption and racism in Robeson County, has died . He was 58. Jacobs was 19 when he and Hatcher entered the Lumberton newspaper carrying sawed-off shotguns, ordering the staff into seclusion. Later, he would testify in federal court that Hatcher showed him evidence that the county sheriff’s department was linked to drug trafficking, showing him dropoff points and distributors. Sheriff Hubert Stone, Jacobs said, wanted Hatcher dead. “When I saw those maps, I thought, ‘Oh my God. With what you’ve got they will kill you.’” Jacobs and Hatcher were acquitted in federal court, angering many. “It seems to me the message is, if you have a grievance, take hostages, put them in fear for their lives and say you did it for your own protection,” Robesonian editor Bob Horne, a hostage, said in a statement at the time. Acquitted, then convicted Both would be soon be tried in state court, where Jacobs pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison. Hatcher would die behind bars in 2009, serving time for an unrelated
