Greenville<\/a> may not be one of the five largest cities within the state of South Carolina, yet it manages to have just about everything that a person would expect from a major city. That not only includes an airport, hotels, restaurants, and nightlife, but also an arena, sports teams, a bike-share program, breweries, artisanal coffee spots, festivals, museums, main street block parties, farmer’s markets, and over 700 acres of public parks.<\/p>\n

Located halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte \u2014 geographically speaking \u2014 Greenville is also within driving distance to Nashville, Raleigh, Birmingham, Louisville, and Jacksonville. While the growing city is currently without a direct flight to Los Angeles, Greenville does currently have direct flights to and from Chicago, New York, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Houston, and other major American cities.<\/p>\n

A festival known to attract more than 150,000 guests over the course of 3 days \u2014 more than doubling the city’s population \u2014 Fall For Greenville is known not only for its variety of culinary offerings (50+ local eateries set up tents along eight blocks of Main Street) but also for its incredible concert series. More than 60 acts take to 5 stages over the course of the weekend. Ultimately, Fall For Greenville is passionate about shining a spotlight on regional talent and loves to pair up local bands with national acts whenever possible.<\/p>\n

From Moon Taxi to Lilly Hiatt to Phat Lip to Reckless Kelly to The Bad Popes, every single performance<\/a> is free to attend. Indie-folk lovers will love Apricot Blush and San Fermin, country rock fans will enjoy Darby Wilcox & The Peep Show, etc. This year’s musical lineup features bands from Columbia, Charleston, Athens, Asheville, New Orleans, and New York. In addition, more than 50 craft beers from 26 breweries will be featured beyond there being 50+ eateries with set-ups along Main Street between October 11 and 13, 2019.<\/p>\n

I had the pleasure of visiting speaking with 4 different artists who are playing Fall For Greenville<\/a> this year, and highlights from those Q&As are below:<\/p>\n
