The Southern Chord
Dispatches From The American South.
Grits. Gospel. Charleston. Camellias. The American South is a region rich with colorful personalities, stately homes and lush gardens, foot-stompin' music and provocative theatre, sandy beaches and fog-draped mountains, and of course, fried chicken and craft bourbons.
The Southern Chord is designed as a gathering spot for feature stories celebrating the many faces of Southern American Culture and collecting conversations, photography and film shorts from across the Carolinas and Virginia, farther south into Georgia and Florida, and west into Tennessee and Kentucky,
Welcome to the American South. Pull up a rocking chair, sit a spell and enjoy.

Bill Bentley: From Aiken To Macon And Beyond
For this edition of The Southern Chord, we sit down with BILL BENTLEY, a songwriter and guitarist in Aiken, South Carolina, who performs original "prog-rock" as leader of a trio called Under The Sonar. Their ethereal sound was captured in recent pilgrimages to the musical mecca of Macon, Georgia, where they recorded at the historic Capricorn Studios. Our chat goes inside those sessions at the home of Southern Rock.
