On March 19th, Southern California’s DENM brought the HOT N GLASSY album release tour to Charleston’s Music Farm alongside Surfer Girl & Chad Tepper. The packed Wednesday night crowd was treated to an energetic night of genre-hopping rooted in Cali surf reggae.
Enjoy photos and a recap from Steve Aycock here, with the full gallery available on Steve’s website.
Chad Tepper
Chad Tepper wasted no time. Walked onto stage and rolled right into his set. His band was dressed in Buc-ees Onesies.
The performance was energetic. His sound to my old ears, is a mix of 90’s/early 2000’s punk with some beach/surf vibe thrown in.
Great performer, fun show. Interactive with the audience, throwing some merch (t-shirts) to the crowd mid-show.
DENM joined him for one song.

Surfer Girl
Carter Reeves of Surfer Girl and formerly of Aer, is a powerhouse performer who knows how to make his energy contagious.
A skilled front man and accomplished songwriter with a new album releasing on April 18th. Cali-surf reggae style music with a hip-hop rap influence.

DENM
DENM’s appearance got the large crowd to move to the front and pack in. His music varies from a cali reggae beach standard to an almost ethereal ballad.
In his bio at Red Light Management they called it “genre-hopping,” and I think that’s apropos.
DENM called up John Shields of Little Stranger and Damn Skippy. John jumped over the pit barrier to join DENM on stage. (see photos)
