He’s back! 🥁🔥

If you’ve seen William “W***y” Frasier perform at CreativeMornings Charleston before, you already know — he brings the ENERGY.

A Charleston native and self-described Theatrical Drummer, W***y combines percussion and dance into a performance that’s impossible to sit still through. His style draws from everything from Corps-style marching and Latin jazz to more than a decade of dance training — and has even taken him to the America’s Got Talent stage.

We’re so excited to have back to kick off our morning on Friday, September 25 at The Porter Room at Holy City Brewing! 🥁💥

Doors open at 8 AM. Come ready to move!

Talk about the perfect setting for this month’s CreativeMornings. 🌾☀️

We’re heading to The Porter Room at Holy City Brewing () — a gorgeous marsh-front event space on Noisette Creek in North Charleston.

With The M.A.R.S.H. Project taking the stage to talk about protecting and reconnecting Charleston with its natural landscape, we couldn’t imagine a better backdrop for the conversation.

Join us Friday, September 25 for inspiring people, beautiful marsh views and a morning of creativity + community.

📍 The Porter Room at Holy City Brewing
⏰ Doors open at 8 AM
🎟️ Free tickets go live September 21 at 10 AM on our CM site

See you by the marsh! 💚

Meet our September speakers: The M.A.R.S.H. Project! 🌱

What started as a personal project among three friends has grown into a community movement to reclaim Charleston’s natural heritage — and create the Southeast’s first urban ecological corridor.

The M.A.R.S.H. Project brings neighbors together to care for the places right outside their doors through marsh cleanups, native planting, citizen science, art, education and plenty of hands-in-the-pluff-mud community action.

We can’t wait to welcome Blake Suarez, Blake Scott, Joel Caldwell and Skye Clogston to the CreativeMornings Charleston stage to share the story, the vision and what’s possible when a community comes together to create change. 💚
