Spoken word is a literary-performance art. Original lyrics, poetry, or stories are spoken, possibly with music, though emphasis is kept on the speaker. The original work is written to be spoken rather than read on the page, and it is often political and social commentary, where again the art still outweighs the speechifying.

Attention sports fans, history buffs, culture vultures, and collectors of all stripes! The 5th annual LowCountry Habitat for Humanity Birdhouse Auction is bringing something new to the table this year: Celebrity Birdhouses.

 Lowcountry Weekly's MARK SHAFFER floats toward epiphany… or something like it.    It is an odd sensation being weightless. As bipedal land mammals we have no real reference for it. Nevertheless, I am weightless – suspended in a warm, soothing salt solution more buoyant than the Dead Sea.

The 5th Annual Soft Shell Crab Festival is set for April 19 in Port Royal on Paris Avenue from 12 noon until 5 pm.  The event will be bigger and better than ever with plenty of food, beverages, car exhibits, music and handcrafted arts! Come enjoy the festival that locals and visitors look forward to all year long!

Nearly 500 visitors from as far away as Chicago and Boston toured the first HGTV Green Home at Tradition Hilton Head last week.
