Cosmic Charlie brings their "Dark Side of the Dead" concept to the Pour House main stage on James Island — a live mashup experience weaving together the psychedelic catalog of the Grateful Dead with the sonic landscapes of Pink Floyd. It's a natural pairing, really: two bands defined by long-form improvisation, devoted fan bases, and music that rewards close listening.
If you're into exploratory guitar work, layered textures, and the kind of set that doesn't follow a predictable script, this one fits the bill. Doors are typically early, so arrive ahead of the 9 p.m. start to grab a spot before the crowd fills in.
