Joseph Michael takes the Main Stage at Uptown Social for a solo set on a Monday night. The downtown Charleston bar has become a reliable spot for live music throughout the week, and this kind of intimate weeknight show tends to draw a crowd that's actually there to listen.
Doors are typically open before the 9 p.m. start, so arriving a little early is never a bad idea. Whether you're already a fan or just stumbling in for the first time, a solo performance in a bar setting like this is about as low-key and genuine as live music gets.
