With less than four days ’til the tents in Marion Square open, the anticipation for dramatic runway shows builds. What better way to enhance the action than music? As always, models will strut their stuff to the eclectic, high-energy soundtracks created by CFW music director—and DJ—Arthur Brothers. And the Style Lounge will host the area’s best DJs, who will spin during the nightly pre- and after-parties. But this year, new additions to the lineup pump up the entertainment value even more.

Each night, a live musical performance will kick off the shows. Check out some of the talent: Charleston-born rapper Righchus (aka Matt Bostick), songstress Quiana Parler performing with Benjamin Starr, Athens-based singer/songwriter Emily Hearn (whose music video “Rooftop” was shot right here in the Holy City with famous resident Bill Murray), and Atlanta’s Brittany Bosco (who has been wowing audiences from California to New York).

So, come for the fashion and for the music. Just be there to experience a fabulous week of entertainment and style. See you under the tents!
