Mama’s Love is an American Rock band formed in Athens, Ga. in 2007.  Like the town where the band resides, the sound is progressive with hints of classic tones.  Live energetic shows, definitive song craftsmanship, and a genre-defying sound have formed the buzz that follows the Mama’s Love experience.  They maintain a strong sense of tradition in classic American music, while staying progressive with their improvisational segments and song structures. Catchy melodies, lyrical hooks, and layered harmonies are supported by a tight rhythmic foundation with a classic rock, funk, soul, and americana flavor, harvesting their songs from the roots of time.

The Craft Beer Boat Cruise on the Carolina Belle is one of the most unique social experiences Charleston has to offer. Featuring a different brewery and touring band every month, and pairing that with some of the best local food, it’s like a pub crawl. Only it’s better, since it’s on a cruise ship and you get more bang for your buck. If you can’t make this craft beer cruise, there are more on the horizon. Click the links below for more details.
