Stagbriar

The brother-sister duo of Alex and Emily McCollum at the heart of Stagbriar has long been one of the most exciting indie rock acts in the Carolinas, utilizing sibling vocal chemistry for dynamic verve and atmosphere rather than bluegrass blood harmonies. In recent years, the two have increasingly abandoned any pretense of folk underpinnings, letting the dark shimmer of guitars and drums propel their enigmatic yet charismatic songcraft forward. The troupe plays New Brookland Tavern on Feb. 23 alongside Charleston indie band Persona La Ave and Columbia’s Outerego. Tickets are $15, doors at 7 p.m. More info at newbrooklandtavern.com.

Patrick Davis was bored and restless.

The musician, raised in Camden, S.C., had spent years in Nashville as a songwriter and had done well for himself. In the city at the heart of music, he’d written or co-written songs for dozens of successful artists, including Pat Green, Jimmy Buffett, Jewel and Robert Randolph.

But something was missing.

He missed the days of playing smaller shows in places like Columbia’s Five Points. Davis might have made his name as a songwriter, but he longed for the days of performing live.

“When you get publishing deals and songs on the radio, and you make a little bit of money, it’s easy to fall into a trap of forgetting what it was you initially enjoyed doing,” Davis said. “The world will tell you what success is, and you’ve got to remember what success is for yourself... I was definitely missing some happiness in my life that had always come about from playing live.”

When Davis found himself at this crossroads in Nashville nearly seven years ago, he decided to change his situation. Some people might have strapped on an acoustic guitar and hit the coffeehouse circuit, but Davis went about as far in the other direction as one can go.

He created a massive ensemble called the Midnight Choir, chock full of horns, guitars and vocalists. Depending on the performance, the Midnight Choir can be 10 to 13 members, often including Davis’ dad on lead guitar.

The band tackles everything from soft folk to country to Southern rock, with Davis at the center telling stories and playing his incisive, melodic songs, many of which helped fund the choir he’s created.

“My career as a songwriter has gone well enough to where I could take on this kind of endeavor,” he said. “(It’s) not an inexpensive situation, so you have to really be able to be able to make all those people happy, not just musically but also where they can pay their bills.”

Making the band happy musically is a priority too, though. During a typical Midnight Choir show, Davis makes sure to shine the spotlight on each member of the large ensemble.

“Musically speaking... I want to make sure everybody feels like they are appreciated,” Davis said. ”(It’s) sometimes hard in a big outfit like that. Everyone wants the final product to be wonderful and a beautiful painting, but you still want people to stand out.”

The ensemble is constantly shifting and evolving, but it’s almost always made up of musicians from South Carolina and Nashville, both of the places that Davis has called home. He also has a keen eye for the kind of musician that will fit in well with the rest of the Midnight Choir.

Davis described it as “the best of both worlds,” pointing to multi-talented musicians with range in their performances like Grammy Award-wining Charleston jazz group Ranky Tanky’s Charlton Singleton on the trumpet and his father on guitar.

“(Singleton) is as talented as anybody in the world when it comes to taking solos, but he can also lay back and just write incredible parts for the horn section... and when I get my dad to play, he can sit back and let me tell a story and then if I say, ‘Hey Dad, crank it up,’ he can crank it up,” Davis said.

Davis and the Midnight Choir will bring their infectious big-band sound to the Harbison Theatre at Midlands Technical College on Friday, Feb. 24, and it’s far more than just another stop on tour. Davis said he’s thrilled to be back in his old home state, some 30 minutes or so from where he grew up.

“It’s always great coming back home,” he said. “When you’re fortunate enough to do what us musicians do, which (is) travel all the time, we go to some cool places. But there’s nothing like coming home.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Alexandra Nolen is a Storyteller/Associate Producer within the Features Unit at ESPN. She produced the “SC Featured” spotlight “Nothing Else Matters,” the story of Patrick Behan, the head boys basketball coach at St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C., who was diagnosed with ALS and given a year to live (watch the trailer above). Nolen lost her mother Anne to ALS in 2019. In advance of her “SC Featured” profile of Behan, premiering in the 8 a.m. EDT segment of “SportsCenter” on Sunday, March 26, she tells Front Row what inspires her storytelling

On Aug. 29, 2019, my mother Anne was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis) on her birthday.

ALS is a terminal nerve disease commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Eventually, you will lose the ability to move your arms, hands, and legs, followed by your voice. In the end, you stop breathing while keeping your mind intact.

It robs you of your independence. There is no cure.

Most people diagnosed with ALS typically receive a life expectancy of 3-5 years.

My Mom passed away three months after the day she was diagnosed. It happened very fast, at a pace we had no idea could happen. She was 68.

Ever since she passed, it has been a goal of mine to bring awareness to this horrible disease by helping someone tell their ALS story.

Periodically, I would do a Google search for stories on those affected by ALS in the sports community.

A week before my mother’s birthday, she was on my mind. So I tried Googling “coaching with ALS,” and immediately, an article from The Washington Post popped up, “I’m Still Your Coach,” by Adam Kilgore.

By the time I was done reading, I felt a connection.

Patrick Behan, the head coach at St John’s College High School in Washington, D.C., was diagnosed with ALS on May 6, 2022, at age 34.

In Patrick’s case, he has familial ALS – meaning the disease runs in his family. His father passed away from the disease. Patrick is believed to be the 10th family member to be diagnosed with ALS, yet his diagnosis wouldn’t stop him from doing what he loved most: coaching basketball.

We’ve been documenting Patrick’s story since Nov. 9, 2022. He takes 27 pills daily, but basketball is the best medicine.

At various points, I saw a man at home sitting on his recliner, fatigued and conserving his energy for a game. Then later, I’d see an entirely different person on the court.

He was vocal. Passionate. Intense.

The next thing I know, I’m giving him his B-12 injection shots in both arms.

He couldn’t do it himself, so I was the only person who could do it.

I remember asking him, “Are you sure? I don’t want to hurt you.”

He replied, “I trust you.”

From that moment on, it changed. Patrick wasn’t just a coach whose story we were telling anymore. He was my friend.

– Alexandra Nolen on her friendship with Coach Patrick Behan

Honestly, for two hours, I forgot he had ALS.

Look closely and you’ll see the tremor in his hand or him picking his arm up to help himself take a sip from his water bottle. This is part of ALS; it’s physical but also mental warfare.

For Patrick, brushing his teeth, putting contacts in, and getting dressed are more tiring than running a 3-hour practice.

When you can help someone tell their story, you always hope to create trust and connection. So in Dec. 2022, I returned to D.C., a month after our first visit.

We discussed the filming schedule over pizza and wings for the next two days. A few minutes later, Patrick’s best friend Anthony texted to remind him to remember Patrick’s B-12 injection. Patrick looks at me.

The next thing I know, I’m giving him his B-12 injection shots in both arms.

He couldn’t do it himself, so I was the only person who could do it.

I remember asking him, “Are you sure? I don’t want to hurt you.”

He replied, “I trust you.”

From that moment on, it changed.

Patrick wasn’t just a coach whose story we were telling anymore. He was my friend.

Before it was time to go, I got afraid to leave him since he was alone. Then, knowing what I knew about the disease and remembering my Mom, my instincts set in, “Is he going to be O.K.?”

Last month, we witnessed Patrick winning his first-ever conference championship, the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title. Patrick was also named Coach Of The Year.

With everything going on in his life, watching him and his players embrace was beyond special. There was not a dry eye in the gym once the final buzzer sounded.

ALS might rob him of many things, but it didn’t take away the love in the gym that night.

We’ve been on this journey together for four months now.

When we first met, he told me he only had so many energy tokens and decided daily how he wanted to use them. Coaching of course is at the top of the list but outside of that, it’s entirely up to him.

Knowing that he chose to spend his time with us resonates with me every day, and it’s something I don’t take lightly. I’m forever grateful for his friendship, trust, and especially his sister Alexis and friend Anthony.

When people see his story, I hope it brings awareness to ALS and reminds others that nothing can stop you from doing what you love.

He has left a profound mark on my life, and I will always be there for him.

He’s got a friend in me for life.
