Tour Stops and Attractions
Music Farm
1) Music Farm
Music Farm is a music venue in Charleston, South Carolina located off of East Bay Street. It has been open since April 1991. The "original" Music Farm opened in April, 1991 on East Bay Street. From his experience as a musician and as a member of a band that had toured the Southeast, Kevin Wadley wanted a venue that focused on music, not just another nightclub. Wadley originated the name and concept for Music Farm. He asked Carter McMillan to partner in the business, whose background in radio and promotion enabled them to create a dynamic nightspot which quickly became known throughout the Southeast as "the place" to hear good music. The club underwent a month of renovation and reopened on Oct 28th with The Avett Brothers.
