A special July 3rd concert with Steel Pulse reggae band was held at the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina. (www.CharlestonHarborResort.com) The brand new Lookout Pavillion facility and its adjacent woodland setting with view of the water provided a festive attitude to the concert that Brightsound Entertainment promoted, with proceeds to benefit the HIV relief work in Ghana. (www.projectokurase.org) The reggae concert on the banks of the Cooper River, dubbed the Lineup at the Lookout saw concertgoers of all ages "Rally Round the Flag" to celebrate America's Independence Day. To avoid traffic many patrons took the water taxi service (www.CharlestonWaterTaxi.com) to add the dimension of getting on the water - which is just another way, besides an outdoor concert, for people to enjoy our Lowcountry Outdoors! The return to Charleston of the roots reggae favorite Steel Pulse is cause enough for celebration, but holding the concert under the stars and along the Cooper River brings just one word comes to mind - Irie! The band is on a busy tour schedule, but managed to take the stage about 10 p.m. and launched into one long set of all their crowd-pleasing anthems. While the outdoor concert was crowded, a special VIP area was available for patrons, with perks like complimentary Crown Royal 'Black.' The resort hotel offers ticket and room package discounts for these type events, and it seems the only thing missing from their outdoor concert scene might be jerk chicken and Red Strip beer!
