‘Spring Recess’ meets music, food and craft beer Saturday at Legal Remedy

Warm weather at last, just in time to welcome the inaugural “Spring Recess” Saturday at Legal Remedy Brewing in Rock Hill. With an all-day lineup of live music, new beer flavors, and unique food, LRB presents their own distinct version of a hip, happening playground break meets craft beer/food event and music festival.

This is a celebration of area taste, “that’s original and different like our beer,” explained Jim Ogburn, LRB’s managerial overseer, or rather “The Custodian,” his official and preferred designation.This extravaganza includes “great new beers that we’ve brewed just for this event,” Ogburn stated. “It’s also a food truck type celebration, riffing on foods from elsewhere,” he continued, offering “an assortment of tastes.” Ogburn also referred to the upbeat welcome the new brewpub has experienced saying, “We are really tickled at the reception and support we’ve received from Rock Hill and this is a party to celebrate that relationship.”

Striking and unusual like a local Lollapalooza, the live music for “Spring Recess” was also masterminded. “The music was curated by Ashley Peeples,” Ogburn said. “Ashley put together a great live music lineup of bands with strong local fan followings and area connections.” The talented array includes Chocula, GASP, Amigo, The Loudermilks, Temperance League, and Chase Killough . The range is exhilarating from the alt country/fun Americana of Amigo, and the rock/folk/ alt. country of The Loudermilks, to guitar-soaked rock of The Temperance League, as well as singer-songwriter Chase Killough’s Appalachian-influenced Southern soul sounds, and much more.

Along with all this, Saturday’s event will also harbor the unexpected, which is altogether fitting considering it’s April’s Day. So, look for surprises in store. Ogburn alluded that the fun, festival atmosphere also promises “surprise entertainment .”
