In 2024, the band welcomed Corey Anderson on vocals, whose exceptional voice brings a dynamic new dimension to the group.
Sawgrass frequently features Grammy-nominated musician Jenni Lyn Gardner on mandolin and vocals. With more than two decades of professional experience and an international touring career, Gardner brings a wealth of musicianship and performance experience to the group. Her background in roots music, touring, and music diplomacy adds another layer to Sawgrass’s sound and live performances.
The group puts its own unique spin on a diverse repertoire, including jamgrass favorites, Grateful Dead music, traditional bluegrass standards, and original songs. Their monthly residency at Chanti’s Pizza, a beloved local venue in downtown Conway, reflects their longstanding connection to the community. With a sound that bridges bluegrass, roots, and improvisational music, Sawgrass continues to bring its own character and energy to the local music scene.

“Horry County Museum to host Halloween screening and discussion of Blood Quantum”
Celebrate Halloween with a different kind of zombie film. In partnership with the South Carolina Commission for Community Advancement and Engagement and the Native American Film & Video Festival of the Southeast, the Horry County Museum will host a screening and discussion of the film Blood Quantum on October 31st at 1 PM. Blood Quantum combines intense horror with a powerful Indigenous perspective, using the zombie genre to explore colonialism, sovereignty, intergenerational trauma, cultural survival, and the meaning of identity. Set in an alternate 1981, a zombie plague spreads across the world, but the Indigenous residents of the fictional Mi’kmaq reserve of Red Crow are mysteriously immune. As surrounding communities collapse, tribal leaders must protect their people while confronting difficult questions about survival, sanctuary, identity, and the legacy of colonization. This film is rated R for language, violence and gore and is not suitable for all audiences.
The film will be followed by a community conversation focused on tribal sovereignty, cultural survival, and the ongoing fight against erasure. Using the film’s apocalypse metaphor as a starting point, the discussion will explore how Indigenous communities have already endured historic efforts to remove, assimilate, redefine, and erase Native peoples, cultures, governments, and identities, and how tribal communities continue to resist those forces today.
The conversation will also examine the idea that, for many Indigenous communities, “the apocalypse” is not simply a fictional future event, but a useful metaphor for generations of colonization, displacement, cultural suppression, and attacks on sovereignty. The discussion will center on how Native communities continue to rebuild, preserve culture, exercise sovereignty, and ensure that their histories and identities remain visible for future generations.
This event will be held at the Museum’s McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway, S.C. This program is free and open to the public, no reservations or tickets required. For more information, call 843-915-5320 or email hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov. For more information about our programs, visit the museum website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.
