Rupert Wates
Rupert Wates was
born in London, UK. He signed an exclusive publishing deal with Eaton
Music in 1994 and has been a full-time songwriter ever since. He moved
to the USA in fall 2006. Between 2007 and 2011 he has won over 25
songwriting awards. His 4 CD’s have all received outstandingly good
reviews and have been played by radio stations in the USA, Canada, the
Netherlands, Germany, Israel and Australia. Rupert has performed in
nearly every state in America. Audiences everywhere respond to his
brand of acoustic, melodic art/folk haunting songs that ring true. SFMS
is indeed very pleased to be able to host this talented musician. Hear
Rupert’s music on his website and then come see him “LIVE” at First
Friday in February.

South Carolina Broadcasters
The South Carolina Broadcasters once again make an appearance on the SFMS First
Friday stage and are an award-winning old-time trio with modern-day
appeal. Featuring Ivy Sheppard
(fiddle, banjo, guitar and vocal), Grace
Kennedy (banjo, triangle, vocal) and David Sheppard (guitar, vocal) their tight harmonies,
lively performance and exceptional instrumentation give them a powerful
old-time sound. They have won many blue ribbons at fiddler’s
conventions and also performed at some hard core rock’n roll and other
music venues, receiving standing ovations. All three members share a
common vision and an obsessive passion about their music and are a
little mission band on a mission. The South Carolina Broadcasters are
one of those special bands that comes along every once in a while.
Don’t miss a great opportunity to enjoy them perform.
Both performing
acts will have many of their CD’s for sale and please patronize them.
