Following their packed High Tide Summer Tour stop at The Refinery on September 5th, reggae-rock powerhouses The Movement and Pepper caught up with Charleston Live Music for a quick post-show Q&A.

From iconic local eats to unique venue perks, here is what the bands had to say about their latest trip to the Lowcountry:

Charleston Live Music: Where was the best bite or drink you had while in town?

The Movement & Pepper: "167 Raw—specifically the pastrami swordfish sando!"

CLM: What surprised or stood out to you most about playing at The Refinery in Charleston?

The Movement & Pepper: "The sheer vibe was immaculate, and the train cars [shipping containers] as dressing rooms was the cherry on top. We can’t wait to come back!"

CLM: What’s one place or thing you didn't get to do this trip that’s on your bucket list for next time?

The Movement & Pepper: "Get a surf in at Folly Beach!"

Local Scene Takeaways

• Local Eats: If you haven’t tried the pastrami swordfish sandwich at 167 Raw on King Street yet, take a note from tour menu experts—it’s officially artist-approved.
• Venue Spotlight: The Refinery continues to win over national touring acts with its distinct industrial layout and open-air layout in Charleston's upper peninsula.
